Welcome to The Carry Guy Firearms Shooting Academy
At The Carry Guy Firearms Shooting Academy, we train responsible Americans—civilians, law enforcement, and military veterans—to handle firearms with precision, discipline, and purpose. We’re 5-Star Rated, and we take that standard seriously.
We believe in the freedoms protected by the Constitution—especially the Second Amendment. But rights come with responsibility. Owning a firearm isn’t the goal. Being prepared is. Skill, mindset, and safe practices must follow.
That’s why our training is built on The Defensive Triad:
Marksmanship • Gun-Handling • Mindset
Our courses are designed for real-world application, with progressive instruction that meets you where you are—whether you’re brand new or highly experienced. You’ll leave with greater confidence, capability, and clarity, plus a plan you can actually follow.
We don’t train fear. We train freedom.
