The training teaches five important skill set: knowing if and when you can shoot someone, giving verbal commands, taking cover, practicing your 911 call, and interacting with police.
“If you’re going to be carrying a gun you need to carry it responsibly and that comes with all the training also with education too,” said Time Collins, district manager of U.S. Law Shield of Kentucky.
The training has more than 800 different scenarios programmed into it.
