Wayne Dobbs "Rule Four Pistol"

Wayne is coming back for his signature “Rule Four” course. Judicious and precise marksmanship is an absolute requirement, and Wayne’s take is highly effective in preparing you for that moment of necessity

This course is designed to meet the specific needs of private citizens and/or off-duty law enforcement officers carrying concealed handguns for defense. While this is the most common context of concealed carry, current events and trends have required another look at the realities of deploying those weapons in public settings. Also, since we are using these guns in public without the benefit of Rule 4’s backstops, bystander control and easy sized targets, these new norms require performance in extremis that few organizations or training courses provide (and often teach responses in direct conflict with real world needs). In summary, Rule 4, so easily applied and often placed in our collective comfort zone at the range, looms huge in a street encounter.
