High Risk Vehicle Gunfighting
November 12-13, 2016
Murphy, North Carolina
Instructor: Rick Klopp

This is not a shooting class, per se – this is a class to get you better prepared working in and around your vehicle. Although normally reserved for a small niche within the operator community, the average American spends upwards of 15 hours a week in their vehicle and therefore this become a necessary skill set to own. Vehicle Gunfighting involves a vehicle, a gun and a fight – very complex dynamics and often in a very confined space.

This class is built around the “crawl-walk-run” approach and will begin with a review of confined space tactics with Airsoft. We will then progress to “purpose-built” props and live-fire exercises with our pistols. We will continue to advance vehicle gunfighting concepts as we use our pistols to fight our way to our rifles and look at some team-tactics. Specific topics include:

  • Primary use of your vehicle (drive-able, disabled, lack of egress)
  • Defensive tactics from inside/outside your vehicle
  • Seat belts and other restraints
  • Exiting your vehicle while under pressure
  • Engaging threats from the front, rear and lateral aspects
  • Concerns for additional passengers and shooting from their perspective
  • Vehicle design (center counsels, manual transmissions, A, B, C and D pillars, trunks, front-wheel vs. rear-wheel, etc.)
  • Use of the vehicle as cover (what’s safe and what isn’t)
  • Windshield, side windows, shooting through glass and bullet trajectories
  • Administrative functions of the pistol from within your vehicle
  • Discussion of gas station issues, parking lot dangers and panhandlers
This class will teach you to become dynamic in and around your vehicle – don’t be left helpless in this situation.
