It is about applying current fundamentals, tactics, and techniques in the lawful use of a handgun. Fighting Handgun is constructed in a manner, as is the actual course of instruction, to build upon each topic presented, as opposed to being a mixture of stand-alone topics.

Don is an active shooter response instructor as well as a scenario-based force-on-force instructor. He holds professional instructor certifications through the NRA and Simunition, as well as the NYS Department of State as both a Firearms Instructor and a General Topics Instructor. Don has trained a tremendous amount of people over his career, including everyone from serious armed professionals across the law enforcement, executive security and military spectrum to housewives. The majority of Executive Options courses are client-based, however, they include the NYS armed guard curriculum, judicious use-of-force, defensive and tactical firearms, active shooter response and scenario-based force-on-force training.
