Handgun Safety Class

  • All of our instructors are certified to teach the NRA Gun Safety program. 
  • We are happy to arrange for an instructor for your church group, Scout group, 4-H club, and pretty much any other group you can put together.
  • This is typically about a 4-hour class.

Handgun Carry Permit - Temporarily Suspended 

If you are interested in an State of Tennessee handgun carry permit class please email [email protected] we have currently suspended this offering due to limited interest since the state passed a permit-less carry law. If there is enough interest we could offer this class again.
  • Our Handgun Instructors are certified by the State of Tennessee.  They teach the Handgun Carry class focuses on the new Constitutional Carry gun laws.  This is an 8-hour class.
  • You will need:
    • A handgun, holster, ammunition, eye and ear protection, and ID. 
    • Plan to bring a lunch or you can go out locally during lunch break.
    • Cost of the class is $65.

The application process for Handgun Carry requires you to fill out the application form online. There will be a computer at the TSF class to start the application process, which generates a needed application number, but if you can complete the online application BEFORE the class, it will be a tremendous TIME SAVER.

Defensive Handgun Class

  • We are proud to offer an advanced handgun class that will teach you everything we would like to include in the Handgun Carry Permit class but don’t have time for. 
  • You will spend most of the 8-hour class on the range learning how to draw your handgun from your holster, shoot strong hand only, weak hand only, while moving, around barricades, and more. 
  • You will need to bring a handgun, holster, minimum of 3 magazines for your handgun, approximately 200 rounds of ammunition, and eye and ear protection.
  • This will be a movement, defensive type class with lots of shooting and drills they can learn to give them the confidence they need for any situation.​
  • Cost:  $150

Refuse To Be A Victim

  • Improve your personal safety strategies with NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim® Program.  Experts agree that the single most important step toward ensuring your personal safety is making the decision to refuse to be a victim. That means that you must have an overall personal safety strategy in place before you need it.
  • Through a four-hour seminar (shorter presentations are available) called Refuse To Be A Victim®, you can learn the personal safety tips and techniques you need to avoid dangerous situations and avoid becoming a victim.
  • Hundreds of federal, state, and local law enforcement officials across the country have implemented Refuse To Be A Victim® into their crime prevention and community policing initiatives. 
  • Here are just a few of the topics presented in the Refuse To Be A Victim® seminar:
    • Home Security
    • Personal Security
    • Automobile Security
    • Workplace Security
    • Technological Security
