Shield Firearms Training

What a great group of eager and "inquisitive" students! Lots of questions because they wanted to understand and get it right! Love it! More people better prepared to keep themselves and others safe. Here's what one student had to say about class -

"Steve and Chris made this training one great experience. Down to earth, bolts and nut teachings about gun handling, and rules and laws that have given me confidence, and peace about carrying a firearm legally. I personally was overwhelmed with the whole conceal carry process, but their method of training really made the process very easy. Thank you both, you are a great team."

Sad story of a good Samaritan trying to help and ended up losing his life. Always ask the question, "Is it worth dying or going to jail for?" before taking action. In this case, maybe it was, but you have to ask the question and then be prepared for the outcome.

The top screw is what was originally in my mom's strike plate for the dead bolt on her front door. The bottom screw is what is there now. Please replace your strike plate screws with some that are 3-4" long. It will increase the force required to gain entry from approximately 2 kicks to closer to 13 at 3 times the force per kick. Hopefully, any intruder will get tired after a few kicks and leave. This will buy you time, and time buys you options.

What this CCW class lacked in numbers they made up for in enthusiasm! Do you know the universal fi****ms safety rules and the 5 elements of self-defense law? These students do! Great job, Everyone!

Another great CCW class in the books with students eager to learn. Lots of smiles on the range on this day! Many said they shot better than they ever had before. A little coaching can make a huge difference!
