My Biography

My name is Cedric Barnes, I've been in the private security field for over twenty one years. I'm certified in basic weapons training by the Federal Protective Services, Homeland Security. Additionally, I am an NRA certified firearms Instructor, NRA Law Enforcement Instructor, United States Concealed Carry Association Instructor and DC MPD Special Police Officer Firearms Instructor. My best friend Kelly and I decided to pass my knowledge and skill onto you. So we started Barnes 1st Step Firearms Training, LLC, in December of 2014.

"My daughter and I took the Pistols Fundamental classes with Mr. Barnes and the experience was comprehensive and thorough. One class member even commented that another class that she'd taken was not half as detailed as the one received from Barnes' class. I will definitely take more classes with Mr. Barnes in the future.
