For Clay Howell, founder and owner of Patriot Training, firearms are an integral part of that. Since 2016, Howell has worked hard to make Patriot Training an institution everyone can learn from, whether they have been in the military or law enforcement or have never picked up a gun. Patriot Training is there for everyone no matter who they are or what they think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI firmly believe that, regardless of my personal beliefs, everyone has a right to personal protection and self-defense,\u201d Howell expressed. \u201cAt the end of the day, that\u2019s what we teach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patriot Training offers four rifle classes and three pistol classes, as well as medical training. Each class focuses on firearm handling and self-defense, whether you find yourself alone or in a team, in a neighborhood, or in a place of worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter where that is, everyone who carries a firearm should have some medical training,\u201d Howell said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/4-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/4-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/4-1-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/4-1-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, every situation where it is legal to draw a firearm is inherently dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe things that cause us to legitimately fear for our lives or grave bodily injury \u2014 those things are necessarily hazardous, dangerous,\u201d Howell said. \u201cIt has been discovered that the number one most preventable reason that people have died has been catastrophic bleeding, and that\u2019s just not good because the key there is the most preventable. [So] our medical classes are designed around preventing unnecessary death in a situation like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patriot Training \u201cRifleman Medical\u201d classes are helpful in many situations beyond simple self-defense, which has been reflected in the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThankfully, we\u2019ve not had many \u2014 just a small handful \u2014 that have ever had to use their skills,\u201d Howell said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had many more\u00a0students that have taken medical classes and used those skills than we have firearms classes students, and that\u2019s how we want it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/3-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/3-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/3-2-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/3-2-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Classes are typically over weekends, for one or two days, and cap out at 16 participants for pistol and 12 for rifle. For those who want to train specifically with their friends, small group classes are offered as well. Nearly all classes are built for beginners as well as experienced marksmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have designed the course curriculum from the ground up for the beginner, but also with enough \u2014 shall we say, leeway. Such that a veteran military man or a law enforcement officer that has experience \u2014 we can make the exercises challenging for them as well,\u201d Howell said. \u201c[The] age-old saying is that, \u2018You don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know,\u2019 and so we fill in those gaps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patriot Training is so effective because Howell and his assistant trainers are constantly refining their instruction. No single class curriculum is set in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGod has blessed us to have some really good assistant instructors in the program,\u201d Howell said. \u201cI really trust their judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-4-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-4-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Howell said he is always looking for \u201ceven a 1% improvement\u201d in his work, and the library of exercises he has allows him to adjust classes to the needs of the students. He is especially committed to satisfying his\u00a0students, with a 100% guarantee for new marksmen if they feel like the class isn\u2019t for them, or veteran shooters if they don\u2019t learn something new. It is rarely utilized, as most responses have been overwhelmingly positive. The number of students returning for more classes or bringing friends reinforces that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you like something, you share it \u2014 that\u2019s what we as people do,\u201d Howell said. \u201cI will rest contently knowing that people\u00a0continue to not only come back for more, but they share it with friends and family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a comfort to many to have the option of self-defense, and such training is not limited to those in careers that require it. The purpose of Patriot Training is \u201cto help people become mentally, physically, and legally prepared to defend their loved ones.\u201d Should calamity befall the academy\u2019s students, they will be ready to stand tall in the face of adversity. <strong>GN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEARNING NEVER truly stops, and that is doubly true in the arena of self-defense.
