In Home Defense
What will you do if an intruder breaks into your home? How will you react? What is your plan?
Our course is designed for both beginners and advanced shooters. By participating, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to make informed decisions in the event of a home invasion. This unique course, offered exclusively through Safe Side Tactical at GAT Guns, addresses the complex questions of modern home defense.
We encourage you to bring any questions or concerns you may have. Our instructors present the material on lethal force in a relaxed and accessible manner, making complex moral and legal issues easier to understand.
In our Home Defense course, you’ll learn how to develop a personalized plan for your home. By the end of the course, you’ll have a detailed plan tailored to your residence and family. We’ll also cover Illinois laws and how they differ from those in other states.
You’ll work on creating a safe room specific to your home and compile a list of essential equipment to facilitate a safe resolution during a critical situation.
Students will have the chance to see how common home defense ammunition performs through drywall. You may also bring your own ammunition and firearm for testing, though the instructor or range officer will make the final decision on its use.
A highlight of the course is the shooting exercise, where you’ll see how many walls home defense rounds can penetrate if the target is missed—often a revealing experience.
