      <title>Practical Carbine and Qualification (April 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Practical carbine examines the use of the carbine in an urban/home environment. While focusing on the AR platform, other weapons such as the AK and various bullpups are also welcome. We will be working to achieve quick hits on silhouette targets at home and parking lot distances. While useful equipment add-ons will be discussed, this is primarily a skills-oriented course.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;YOUR RIFLE SHOULD BE ZEROED PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. WE WILL CONFIRM AND REFINE ZEROES, BUT THE SCOPE OF THE COURSE DOES NOT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT OF ZERO FROM SCRATCH.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

While useful equipment add-ons will be discussed, this is primarily a skills-oriented course.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Surprise, AZ Monthly Meeting (May 04, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Helvetica"&gt;AZCSN meets the first Monday of the month at Reveal Vineyard Church. Our monthly meetings include an opportunity to meet and fellowship with other safety and security ministry volunteers, a training session on a different topic each month, and time to share updates and questions about church safety.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#151515"&gt;Survival Mindset&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Developing a survival mindset is the most crucial aspect of preparedness regardless of the type of incident you are facing. The belief that you are going to protect yourself, your family or others and survive the encounter is something you can control no matter what type of situation you encounter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;We can’t control what the attacker is bringing to an incident, but we can control our mindset.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Tucson Monthly Meeting (May 28, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our monthly meetings include an opportunity to meet and fellowship with other safety and security ministry volunteers, a training session on a different topic each month, and time to share updates and questions about church safety.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#151515"&gt;Survival Mindset&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Developing a survival mindset is the most crucial aspect of preparedness regardless of the type of incident you are facing. The belief that you are going to protect yourself, your family or others and survive the encounter is something you can control no matter what type of situation you encounter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;We can’t control what the attacker is bringing to an incident, but we can control our mindset.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Assess risk and use&amp;nbsp;verbal&amp;nbsp;techniques to defuse situations before they become violent.

      <title>Low-Light Handgun (October 23, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Take your tactical self-defense training to the next level and learn to protect yourself in low-light situations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Most handgun training occurs during daylight, however, it is well documented that many shootings occur under low-light conditions. So why not train for the most probable and realistic real-world scenario? Want to see what it looks like?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rods and cones – the human eye and how it works in low light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Night vision&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Back-lighting and front-lighting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Handheld flashlight shooting techniques&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Shooting from concealed carry positions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Point Shooting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Target Identification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Weapon manipulation skills (reloading, malfunctions clearance under low light conditions)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
