Deadly Force Law Seminar

You may own a gun for personal protection and you may carry it, but do you know the law as to its use?  This seminar will cover the Indiana law on the use of deadly force concerning self defense.  Each student will receive a copy of the Indiana law and a list of definitions of terms used in the law.  Before deadly force can be used, three things must be present: Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy.  We will define these terms and will use videos of encounters to help the student to better understand these and other aspects of deadly force law.

Owning a gun, knowing how to shoot it accurately, and carrying a gun for protection are only half of what every gun owner should know and understand.  You must understand the law, not only understand it, but understand it so well that you can make instantaneous decisions while under extreme stress.  The hesitation caused by not being sure what you can and cannot do, can be all the attacker needs to overpower you and win the encounter. This seminar is not just important, it is essential.

This is the most popular seminar that HARD TARGET conducts.  Last year we had over 100 students attend this seminar.  We expect it to continue to grow year after year.  The Director of Training, Guy Minnis, conducts this seminar.  Guy has 33 years of law enforcement experience and over 25 years of firearms instruction experience.  Guy was the Firearms Training Coordinator for the Evansville Police Department (EPD) from 2001 to 2005 and during that time he taught deadly force law to EPD officers on an annual basis.

Guy also worked as a detective with the EPD and he investigated numerous shootings throughout the years, he also investigated police officer involved shootings as the Firearms Training Coordinator.  Guy was involved in a deadly force encounter himself in 1985 and all of these varied experiences have given Guy a unique perspective on deadly force issues that he brings to this seminar.
