My Biography

I have been involved with firearms for the past 60+ years. I've been involved in target shooting, hunting, and daily concealed carry. Recently, I decided to help others by learning about firearms. It bothers me when someone says they have a gun but doesn't know how to use it. I have met people who have stated they have concealed carry permits, but they don't know how to operate their firearms. They have a home defense weapon and don't know how to defend themselves. I hope you will take the next important step in practical self-defense and seek out training. Everyone should be comfortable and capable with their self-defense gun, and that doesn't happen overnight.

Request a Class

To hold this class, we require a minimum of two students. I will do it with one.

The textbook for this course is $25. It is not included. This is a three-part course. There is so much material that this book and the shooting course can not be taught in one day. The listed fee is a per-day rate. This covers the expense of the range rental and instructor fee.

The student will learn the basics of firearm safety, its care, manipulation, and marksmanship fundamentals. After your class, you should be able to:

A) What gun should you buy or use for your intended purposes? B) How do you use the firearm to make holes in what you aim at? C) know how to load and unload your firearm and clear a jam or malfunction. D) know how to clean it E) know how to store it at home, protecting others from misuse, safely.

Who is watching you as you are walking to and from your car? Are you prepared if someone approaches you? Are you aware of the different Color zones and what they mean?

Countering the Mass Shooter Threat Online begins with an examination of the data in a manner that has never been explored before. Part One starts with a high-level overview of several key data points, including definitions, trends related to these events, a breakdown of where these events are occurring, and a detailed examination of police response times to these shootings. Part One also analyzes what factors affected the outcome of mass shootings.

This course is designed for Security Guards. All applicants must pass the Qualifications Course, which consists of three hours in class and three hours of field time on a live range.

In this course, we will discuss dealing with a Mass Shooter, what to look for, and how to handle the situation. Class time is two hours, and field time on the range is three hours.

The student will learn the basics of pistols, handling, shooting, and firearm safety. This class is for people who are not certain about firearms, nervous around them, want to learn more, to be more comfortable around firearms.

These courses are part of the major and are available. I will be teaching Conceal Carry and Home Defense, as well as Basic Fundamentals.

Muscle memory, what is it? Proper and safe Dry fire Exercises. Range Exercises. Moving from Beginner to Expert. Drawing from the holster. Flashlight Hold options. Raising kids around firearms. How common is violent crime in the United States? Why is conflict avoidance so important? Situational Awareness: What is it, and why is it so important to know who is watching you? The Color Codes of Awareness: How do they affect you in your daily lives?

This is a classroom lecture on your church's security. The price is per person for attendance.
