An online course can structure professional development and make revision easier. What matters is how study, practical work and feedback fit together – and where in-person training remains essential.

In many discussions about the use of firearms, a comparison is often drawn between the civilian sector and the authority sector. This frequently gives rise to misunderstandings and myths that lead to a distorted perception of the differences and similarities. Firearms are a powerful tool used by both authorities and civilians, but under very different conditions.

In this blog post, we will examine the differences in the use, deployment and handling of firearms by security authorities such as the police and prison service compared with their use in the civilian sector for self-protection. In doing so, we will take a closer look at the possible uses, training, legal aspects, carry options, liability, risks, strategies and training, as well as some training tips.
