“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed….” - Noah WebsterOur primary mission is to teach soft targets to be hard. The softest targets today are unarmed individuals - the second softest are places where individuals congregate and feel safe. These targets have come to the attention of criminals, both foreign and domestic, and are being actively pursued. Our goal is to make you less hard and thus, less of a target; individually through instruction in the handling of Firearms and in marksmanship with Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun; corporately through providing security assessments, plans, policies and procedures for the softest targets, our homes and places of worship.
Firearms InstructionValegreen's approach to firearms training is to emphasize the basics. This sounds trite, but once you have mastered the basics, the rest will come. If, however, your foundations are weak, you will never develop great advanced skills. So our concentration is on safety, firearm handling, marksmanship, and effective methods of concealed carry. While we use and completely support the NRA's educational programs, there is always room for improvement. All of our courses are supplemented by additional material from multiple sources. Additional information and our course catalog are available by clicking on the Firearms Instruction tab.
Here's a quick takeaway for your consideration:
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas JeffersonSecurity ConsultingIt is a fact that criminals predominately target 'soft targets', not universally, but in the vast majority of instances the bad guys pick easy targets. The point is to become, and to create the impression that you are, a hard target. Proper security is based upon risk assessment, not 'feeling' - what this translates to is the great majority of security planning revolves around issues other than the (realistic but rare) 'active shooter' incident. It is much more likely that you will be the victim of a weather or medical emergency than of a crime. However, correct risk analysis doesn't just take into account the probability of an incident, it also considers the consequences of an incident. With our location in the 'National Capitol Region' we are also in the unique position of sitting on top of the highest priority terrorist target in the United States if not the world.
Valegreen's approach is to provide comprehensive securit planning, not just planning for the spectacular, but the common place as well. Additional information is available by clicking on the Security Consulting tab.
