WHY US?
Firearm safety and training is a serious choice. Personal training means "hands on" training with a certified instructor that can answer your questions as they arise. It also means an instructor that can adapt his teaching methods to the needs of the individual student.
We will give you the personal, hands on, training that will ensure you are comfortable and safe with your handgun. We teach one on one or in small groups of 2-4 people (larger groups will be considered on a case by case basis), for a reason. The smaller the group, the more individualized attention that can be provided to each student.
Safety, Safety, Safety! Remember that? Our instructors will teach you how to safely handle your handgun. You will receive positive encouragement with gentle correction to keep you from developing bad habits which can endanger yourself and others.
Cost: I believe our rates are highly competitive. Are we more expensive than the online courses you can find? Yes - but remember you get what you pay for. Offering the ability to qualify for the Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit by taking an online course is something with which I simply disagree. You would not expect your teenager to sit through a driver's ed class and get his or her license without any behind the wheel training, would you? Just like a car, a handgun can be dangerous if not handled properly. If the Commonwealth is going to require training to qualify for concealed carry, in my opinion that training should require someone to actually fire a gun! We have the experience to teach you how to do that safely and effectively.
It has been said that people retain only 10% of what they hear and 25% of what they see, but 65% of what they DO. In our classes you will both watch and practice the skills taught. In other words, you will get to DO what you learn, under a watchful eye. Try that with an online course!

There are numerous online training courses that may qualify you for the the Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP), but before you send your credit card number into the ether, here are a few questions you should ask yourself:
- Can an online course answer your questions in real time?
- Can an online course give you hands on training?
- Can an online course show you what recoil feels like?
- Can an online course teach you about squib loads or hangfire?
- Can an online course show you how to clear a malfunction?
- Can an online course teach you how to hold and aim a pistol?
- Can an online course give you the satisfaction of taking home your very own target filled with holes you put there (in the bullseye, of course!)
- Can your online course answer your questions about concealed carry in Virginia?
- Can your online course help you complete your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application? We have a notary public on staff and we will walk you through the application process and answer any questions you may have.
