Our Instructors

At Advanced Defense Concepts, we believe that **owning a firearm is a right**, but **teaching others how to use one safely and effectively is a serious responsibility**.

Our instructors bring years of real-world experience in firearms handling, defensive tactics, and professional training. However, we also recognize that extensive personal experience does not automatically make someone an effective teacher. That’s why we focus on clear communication, patience, safety-first mindset, and the ability to help students truly understand and retain what they learn.

Larry — Founder & Lead Instructor
With decades of experience in firearms training, Larry has taught hundreds of students ranging from complete beginners to experienced shooters. He holds multiple instructor certifications and is committed to honest, practical training that emphasizes safety, responsibility, and real-world application.

We carefully select and work only with instructors who share our core philosophy: **Safety through education**. Every class is designed to build real confidence and competent skills — not just check a box.
