MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

SAFETY FIRST & RESPONSIBILITY

We are proud that we have NEVER had a Safety incident or negligent discharge in ANY of our Concealed Carry classes or any handguns training situations over our 40 years of shooting and training experiences. Our GOAL is to NEVER have ANY type of Gun Safety incident or concern in the classroom and during live-fire at the range.

BE PREPARED JUST IN CASE

We believe that handgun ownership and use come with the responsibility to society, yourself, and your loved ones. It is our duty and responsibility to take advantage of a Right afforded us in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights to defend ourselves and our loved ones if necessary. And to use deadly force ONLY as a very last resort. We should FIRST AVOID TROUBLE, while being prepared JUST IN CASE.

STUDENT FOCUS & POSITIVE CLIMATE

We want a positive environment for learning and a NON-INTIMIDATING classroom and range climate. Our GOAL is to accomplish relaxed and disciplined learning with reduced stress, in professional surroundings.
