What is OUR
Citizen Course?
The Citizen Course is a hands-on community development program designed to equip everyday people with the skills, confidence, and mindset to address real-world threats to our way of life. It blends classroom learning with immersive field training to teach, prevent, and inform—transforming concern into capability.
At the heart of our training is the word PRAUS, meaning “strength under control.” This principle guides our entire approach. We begin with a full day of academic instruction focused on:
Understanding and identifying local threats
Overcoming fear and uncertainty
Embracing your role as a prepared citizen
Learning practical tactics and techniques to protect your home and community
From there, we spend a day and a half on the range, progressing from foundational marksmanship to advanced shooting principles. We conclude with high-intensity, law-enforcement-level pistol scenarios designed to simulate real-life emergencies. These scenarios test decision-making under pressure while reinforcing the principles that lead to decisive action and control in unstable situations.
The Citizen Course is for everyone—because in moments of chaos, everyone benefits from training that builds skill, confidence, and composure.
