ScotShot LLC - USCCA Countering the Mass Shooter threat.
This is a USCCA accredited and certificated course.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS FOR
This course contains comprehensive information to let you recognize, and plan for,
risks associated with a so-called "active-shooter" event in your community. It is
designed to bring you an awareness of the facts surrounding mass shootings in the
United States, and how to create a plan to minimize risks in your environment. It
discusses both firearms and non-firearms responses. It is generally applicable to
your library, house of worship, school, college, workplace and so on.
WHAT THIS COURSE CONTAINS
We begin with a history of such events in the United States and a discussion of
media coverage versus the actuality of the event. We then discuss the firearms used
in such events detailing elements such as the length of time, the number of shots
fired, the firearms used, caliber, and ammunition. The class progresses to a
discussion of police responses, strategies and response times, and how these
impacted the outcome.
We then move forward to discuss how an aggressive victim response and survivor mindset
are key to minimizing injuries, and how simple first-aid skills can minimize them
further. The course then pivots to recognition of potential perpetrators and how to
develop a response and protection plan for your environment. Next, we consider
angles, cover and concealment, and then consider the practical problems
associated with active shooters. The class will conclude with a review and
question/answer session, with suggestions for future development.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
You should bring note-taking material, and a light lunch. Most importantly, you
should bring a positive, safety-orientated attitude and a willingness to extend
your mindset and skillset to this challenging area. You should be decisive about
working to thwart such an event if it were to occur in your environment, and
embracing the concept of prevention as a pro-active response.
WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY
We provide all training materials, the detailed USCCA "Countering the Mass Shooter
Threat" manual, classroom and other facilities, and coffee and snacks. You will
take away a great experience as well as an appreciation of the reality of the threat in
the USA today. You'll be equipped with general strategies and approaches to minimize
damage and injuries, as well as how to create a specific plan for your environment.
A USCCA certificate of completion is issued.
