About Us
Your Instructor
Hi, I'm J.C. Smith and I've been a firearms enthusiast since my pre-teen years. From there to the Marine Corps, Law Enforcement Pistol Teams, Security Firearms Instructor in the mid 1980's, on to present day as an NRA Basic Pistol and Personal Protection in the Home firearms instructor, I thoroughly enjoy training people to be the best and safest they can be.
