The Friearms Within the Fight: 360X DEFENSE Firearms Instruction
“The gun is not your power—it’s just a tool.
You
are the weapon.”
— Professor Kenneth R. Haslam
Why This Page Exists
There are thousands of firearms schools in America.
But there’s only
one system that treats firearms not as a standalone skillset, but as a
strategic extension of total survival readiness.
Welcome to
360X DEFENSE Firearms Instruction—
Where firearms are powerful,
but not a crutch.
This is not a separate system.
It’s a seamlessly integrated pillar of the 360X DEFENSE Method.
The Myth: “If I Have a Gun, I’m Safe.”
We hear it all the time.
People believe the presence of a firearm guarantees victory.
But criminals don’t attack when you’re ready—they attack when you’re vulnerable:
- In close quarters
- At odd angles
- While seated or distracted
- When the weapon is holstered
- Or in jurisdictions where firearms are restricted
The real question isn't: Do you carry?
It’s:
Are you trained to survive when the gun can’t solve the problem?
What We Teach (And Why)
1. Weapons As Part of the Whole
The gun is powerful—but incomplete.
We teach how to integrate
firearms, empty hands, blunt and edged tools, and improvised weapons into
a single combat method.
- Gun jams? It becomes a club.
- Too close to draw? You intercept barehanded.
- Gun prohibited? Your pen becomes your equalizer.
- Multiple assailants? You learn when not to draw.
This is Strategic Seamless Transitioning™, and it’s the future of self-preservation.
2. Firearms Are 20% of the Equation
Most schools train the draw stroke.
We train the
decision to draw—and what happens
if you fail.
80% of survival is mental:
- Judgment
- Stress override
- Legal discipline
- Moral consequence
We embed
moral alignment, tactical restraint, and scenario realism into every shot.
Because a bullet isn’t just a projectile. It’s a decision you have to live with.
3. We Train for Chaos, Not Ranges
At 360X, we go beyond square range drills.
- You’ll learn to draw from concealed positions under duress.
- Shoot from the ground, inside vehicles, in low light.
- Retain your weapon in clinches.
- Move, fight, and think under pressure.
Because gunfights don’t happen in perfect stances—and no one says "Go" before they begin.
Why Firearms Still Matter—And Must Be Respected
Firearms are
the most efficient force multiplier available to a physically overmatched defender.
For seniors, injured adults, those with disabilities, or anyone against multiple attackers—a firearm can be the difference between life and death.
But only if:
- You can access it under pressure
- You can justify its use legally
- You can live with the consequences afterward
That’s what we teach.
Not just how to shoot—
How to survive. Legally. Mentally. Morally. Physically.
The 360X Firearms Difference
Traditional Gun School VS 360X DEFENSE Firearms Training
Draw from holster drills Train to decide if you can draw at all
Emphasis on shooting Emphasis on surviving and consequences
Square range stances Off-angle, seated, grounded, vehicle
One-tool mindset Full force continuum mastery
Focus on marksmanship Focus on moral engagement
Firearms with Conscience™
We call it "Firearms With Conscience™"—because a weapon in the wrong mind is just another predator’s tool.
At 360X DEFENSE™, we train warriors who don’t just shoot.
We train those who understand when, why, and
if they should.
“The firearm may end the fight.
But only the mind survives the aftermath.” —Koan
