Firearm safety is not a political issue. Whether you are earning your CPL or keeping your kids safe, I teach from peer-reviewed research and real-world experience, not opinion. My classroom is judgment-free and evidence-based, built for people who want to be as responsible as they are prepared.
Your instructors are a PhD researcher in firearm injury prevention and active law enforcement officers. We own guns. We carry. We are also a published scientist and parents. No other course pairs this level of research with hands-on LE and firearms expertise, taught by people who live it.
Structured, professional instruction grounded in evidence. CPL students get thorough preparation for responsible carry. Families in our safety course learn storage practices, Michigan law, and the STOP protocol. Every class is practical, hands-on, and designed to build confidence and competence.
