ARMED … AND DANGEROUS ! ?
Have you considered, or are you considering, arming yourself with guns, pepper spray or stun guns, or learning some martial arts?
Don’t foster an illusion of safety. Fights for your life are no joke, and they require proper skills as well as knowledge of the laws governing self-defense. One misstep and you, the presumed victim, become the criminal.
Join two local self-defense experts for an information-packed evening exploring these important topics, and have your questions answered.
Some of the topics we will cover:
- The Implications of Being Armed in Public
- Staying Safe by Avoiding Danger
- Pre-Threat Indicators
- De-Escalation
- Using Force
- Non-, Less- or Less-Than-Lethal Weapons
- Empty-hand Techniques You Can Use Today
- The End Game – Escape

Defensive Firearms Training & Security Consulting
Our objective is to provide you with quality defensive firearms training and education in the use and safe handling of guns. We provide a combination of classroom instruction and practical exercises designed to develop proficient safety and shooting skills.
If you’re like us and follow the news on a daily basis, you are probably just as disturbed as we are at the level of violence in our society and communities. It’s difficult to go one day without seeing at least one news story involving a shooting or violent death too close to home. Most recently we’ve seen law enforcement officers and military personnel being targeted in ambush attacks with firearms.
Whether you are starting out in firearms for fun, personal defense, or work, or if you are well along in your shooting skills, we have training based on your needs and goals. All of our private students start as graduates of one of our live-fire classes. We do not do private sessions with any who have not completed our course, as we find there are too many deficiencies to risk discovering them on the range.
SILVER BULLETS SHOOTING CLUB
We are proud to represent the USCCA as a partner, meaning that in addition to the various instructor certifications we possess from the USCCA, we are committed to advising every client of ours that USCCA membership is a must for many reasons including their free training, resources, and self-defense insurance.
Special Order Gun Dealer
We accept transfers from online firearms distributors. Call for rates. Please let us know immediately if you have a gun sent to us.
