My Biography

Request a Class

Mini-course covers Tennessee Permitless Carry - state provision, definitions, permitless carry requirements & restrictions, and where you can carry without a permit. Will also compare to having the Tennessee Enhanced Carry Handgun Permit and why the student would want to have the ECHP.

    "I enjoyed the time spent with Zach and Paul. Both were knowledgeable and offered insights from a combatives/firearms approach. Though this was just a fundamentals class, it was time well spent to retouch the basics,and more importantly, it was time to allow the instructors to evaluate participants prior to more indepth live fire training classes for which this was a prerequisite.
