VerNeil Mesecher Jr.

I am the founder of Pegasus Personal Protection and am dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills, knowledge, awareness, and confidence needed to better protect themselves and their loved ones.

As a USCCA certified firearms and non-lethal self-defense instructor, I provide practical, real-world training focused on situational awareness, conflict avoidance, and developing a defensive mindset. My courses teach responsible decision-making regarding the legal use of force, safely deploying defensive tools, protecting one's self before, during and after a violent incident, and understanding the legal and personal responsibilities surrounding the use of force.

I believe that personal protection training should be accessible, practical, and empowering for everyone, regardless of experience level. Students come from all walks of life. Some want to become responsible firearm owners. Others simply want to improve their awareness and personal safety skills using non-lethal options. Whether working with first-time gun owners, experienced shooters, real estate professionals, or individuals interested in non-lethal defense options, my goal is to create a supportive, stress-free and enjoyable learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence in their skills.

In addition to firearms fundamentals and defensive training, I teach Texas License to Carry (LTC) certification classes, women’s handgun fundamentals, home defense strategies, situational awareness training, real estate agent safety courses, and non-lethal defense training such as pepper spray, TASERS, and self-defense launchers.

Pegasus Personal Protection, is committed to helping people become more aware, prepared, and confident in their everyday lives while promoting effective personal protection strategies and responsible firearm ownership.
