The NRA Basic Personal Protection in The Home Course teaches students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude required for the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and loved ones, and provides information on the law-abiding individual’s right to self-defense.
This course is for law-abiding adult citizens, as defined by applicable federal, state or local law in the state for which the course is taught, and experienced shooters (shooters able to demonstrate proficiency in the basic skills of safe gun handling, grouping, zeroing the firearm, and cleaning/care of the firearm).

The student may elect to pass the Pre-Course Assessment.
This course is at least eight hours long and is conducted both in a classroom and at a range under the guidance and supervision of an NRA Certified instructor. Students will be required to fire approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. Students will be instructed on basic defensive shooting skills; strategies to protect your home safety and respond to a violent confrontation; firearms and the law in the state-specific for where the course is held; how to choose a handgun best suited for self-defense; and continued opportunities for skill development. Students will receive the NRA Guide to the Basics of Personal Protection in The Home handbook, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification booklet, and course completion certificate.
