360 Tactical teaches home defense training in Miami built around the realities of defending an occupied home — low light, family members in other rooms, and the legal weight of every decision you make. It is built from our live-fire courses at the Homestead Training Center plus low-light training, which is the condition most home defense incidents actually happen in. Students bring their own firearm and ammunition.
Home Defense Is a Different Problem
Carrying in public and defending a home look similar on paper and are almost nothing alike in practice.
On the street you can leave. At home you often cannot — there are people down the hall you are not willing to abandon. On the street the lighting is whatever it is. At home it is 3 AM and pitch black in a floor plan you know by heart and an intruder does not. On the street you are usually alone. At home a spouse may be moving toward the same hallway you are pointing a firearm down.
Those differences change the answer to nearly every question — where the firearm is stored, whether you move or hold, what you say and when, and what happens after.
What the Training Covers
- Safe storage that is both secure from children and fast to access
- Choosing a home defense firearm — pistol, carbine, or shotgun
- Weapon-mounted lights, hand-held lights, and identifying your target
- Shooting in low light and near-total darkness
- Whether to move through the house or hold a defensive position
- Communicating with family members and with 911
- Working with a partner without covering each other with a muzzle
- Florida law on the use of deadly force in the home
- What happens in the minutes and hours after a defensive incident
A Sensible Path
- Introductory Course ($175) — safe handling and fundamentals, if you are new
- Intermediate Course ($200) — drawing, reloads, movement
- Advanced Course ($200) — advanced defensive work
- Low-light training ($225) — the condition your home defense scenario will most likely occur in
Couples should train together. A household defense plan only one adult can execute is half a plan — private sessions are the easiest way to do that.
A Note on Storage and Children
Every home defense conversation has to include storage. A firearm a child can reach is a catastrophe waiting to happen; one locked in a safe in the garage is useless at 3 AM. Modern quick-access safes solve both problems and we cover them in class. Florida also has specific legal requirements around firearms and minors — see our guide on safe storage and minors in Florida.
