History
In the years 202 & 2021, 38 million handguns were sold in the United States. After retiring from a 32-year career in Sales and Marketing, I felt there was a need for safe handgun training within the Greater Charlotte, NC and Rock Hill, SC area. So, in 2015 I began my quest to put the experience I had obtained from being around and using guns for most of my life to use by obtaining instructor ratings from the NRA and USCCA, and then become certified by North & South Carolina to conduct Concealed Handgun and Concealed Weapons Permits from both states. What makes me unique is that I don't need a class of 15 or more students to schedule a class of instruction. As a matter of fact, I have conducted classes for just one student, and offer discounts for former members of the military.
