Our Philosophy
Qualified Instruction
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple enough. There is safety through education.
In a society where fact-checking happens to be sourced by hoax websites and shifty characters, we want everyone to be well-versed in their choice of firearm.
At the end of the day, everyone would like to be home with their families safe and sound.
We are no different and we focus on safety first. We also believe in teaching what you need to survive in the defensive moment
as well as afterward.
