TACTICAL DEFENSE OPTIONS

Self-Defense, Home Defense, Concealed Carry & 2nd Amendment Rights

Self-defense is more about knowledge than it is about the hardware you use. If you are looking to protect yourself, your loved ones and exercise your right to bear arms, you also need to educate yourself — get the training, follow the laws, know your rights.

In the Chattanooga area, there are numerous companies and groups that offer gun safety and certification. Many of these organizations also offer a range of courses (beginner to advanced) in self-defense, tactical solutions and competitive marksmanship.

Our partnerships with regional law enforcement agencies, manufacturers and distributors, allow us to provide up-to-date info on issues that directly impact gun owners and shooting sports enthusiasts.
