FreeState Firearms Training

---

Our main objectives are to educate our student base and followers with information that will make themselves and their families/friends safer, with our main focus being concealed carry and defensive handgun training, personal defense is about much more then firearms, it's about a mindset and a lifestyle.

We subscribe to and follow the Professional Code of Defensive Shooting Instructors.

1. We are committed to the safety of our
students and hold that the expected benefit of any training activity must significantly outweigh any known or perceived risk of that activity.
2. We believe that it is our responsibility to understand not just what we are teaching, but WHY we are teaching any technique or concept, or offering specific advice.
3. I recognize that defensive shooting skills, along with the drills and gear used, are inherently specialized and usually distinct from those of target shooting, competition and hunting endeavors.
4. We will encourage our students to ask questions about course material, and we will answer them with thorough and objective explanations.
5. We understand that Integrity and Professionalism are subjective traits and we strive to maintain high levels of both. We are capable of, and willing to, articulate the reasons for the way we conduct our courses and how we interact with students & peers.
6. We believe that it is valuable to engage our peers in constructive conversation about differences in technique and concept, with the goal of mutual education and evolution.
7. We believe that the best instructor is an avid student, and we will strive to continually upgrade our own skills and knowledge. As part of this belief, we understand that our own teachings need to be subject to critique and open to evolution.

Personal protection should be a mindset, not just a skillset.
