About the Seller
Having been around firearms for almost 50 years, I have learned so much. As a person that has trained people in various safety positions most of my adult life I felt the need to share my experiences that I've learned as related to firearms as well. I've always taken pride in teaching others and helping them to fully understand both the complexities and responsibilities of safe use and carrying of a firearm. Personally I won't EVER send a person out without being certain that I've given them all the tools to do this safely. Safety is the utmost importance of everything I train.
I just recently took a step towards organized shooting and am really looking forward to the new adventure!
