Firearm and Safety Instruction

At The Guardian Firm, we offer the absolute best firearm and safety training. No other school offers the customization we do, including all female classes taught by a female instructor, delving into issues and situations only women face. Our courses are free from war stories, impractical hypothetical situations, legal debates, personal opinions, politics and lack of substance you will find at other schools.

Enhanced Carry Permit State Required Training (8 hours) $100 This class consists of current state and NRA certified curriculum. You will learn how to operate a firearm safely and graduate with an enhanced carry permit certificate. Instruction includes 4 hours in the classroom and qualification on the range. You will be responsible for bringing or purchasing your own ammunition (50 rounds) and firearm. Ammunition can be obtained at the range and firearms may be rented at the range. No reloads or Chinese-made ammunition are permitted in this class for safety reasons. If you do not currently own a firearm or you are new to shooting, it is strongly recommended you rent 1-2 firearms from the range, so that your instructor can assist you in finding the right fit for your needs. You may bring your own ear and eye protection, or use range provided gear. Targets will be provided for you. Below is a link to state permit fees.

  • Female Only Classes (cost and duration of course you select)
    We offer all classes in female-only formats with a highly skilled and experienced female instructor. This class is the first of its kind to go into depth on issues we experience as women from the type of clothing we wear, assaults, carjacking, defending you children, carrying while pregnant and around young children, and avoiding situations in which the use of a firearm may be required, are all addressed in this class. Classes focus on situations in which females are most likely to require the use of a firearm. You will become confident handling and carrying your weapon, in a more personal setting, where you can feel at ease asking any question or discussing life-experiences or concerns. These classes are often far more effective and enjoyable for women, without any pressure or non-applicable advice. Oftentimes, male significant others, range staff or even male instructors provide females poor advice when picking a firearm or during shooting instruction. Standardized tactics are not generally the best for women. In this class we will help you select the firearm that’s best suited for you. We will customize your training from type of firearm to ammunition, holster, carry placement, stance and use.
