Donna Cornell

I am a native Texan and proud Texas A&M Aggie. I’m a wife, mom, and I am very involved in my community and church here in the Mid-Cities. I have been around guns for my whole life and was taught gun safety and a healthy respect for firearms from a very early age by my father who served as a law enforcement officer for over 30 years and took his three daughters deer hunting each fall. As an adult, I found myself in a position where I realized I didn’t have a sufficient answer for many “what ifs” regarding my personal safety and realized it was time to explore owning a pistol and getting my License to Carry. In the process of training, I found that I truly loved shooting and training with pistols. I became involved with and a leader in a women’s shooting organization, now known as Armed Women of America (formerly TWAW Shooting Chapters) which led me down the path of becoming an instructor.

I am passionate about helping women and men be their own self protectors, make informed decisions, and find what works for them. As a mom, I understand the concerns and challenges of having firearms with children in the house, and I am committed to helping other parents teach their children gun safety.

Currently, I primarily instruct & train at Texas Gun Experience in Grapevine, TX (contact me at [email protected] for information about training with me at Texas Gun Experience). I can, however, teach classes independently including traveling to you (contact me at [email protected] for more information about and scheduling independent training).
