Our Certified Instructors and Range Officers will train you properly to ensure that you are prepared to safely and legally defend yourself and your loved ones with a handgun.   While we do offer concealed carry classes, we also understand that guns are not for everyone and we strongly advocate for gun alternative (non –lethal) protection as well.
