Looking for training

South tennessee/north Alabama area..any suggestions for a good instructor? Basically, just looking for handgun training for concealed carry and home defense. If there's one thing I've learned on here it's that no matter how much I try, I never put enough details in my questions/posts so just let me know what else I need to add.

Thanks in advance!

Check with a local gun shop or the NRA. Should be able to come up with someone local. Good luck. Have fun with it!

RangeMaster training under Tom Givens, if possible (he has a large staff of trainers) OR Shootrite Firearms Academy under Tiger McKee. I've had training under both and I can't say enough good things about them. Both know their stuff and know how to present it.

I like to see people practice.

Any one know of some thing similar in Southern Idaho?

I have trained with quite a few instructors at some of the nation's highly acclaimed academies -- including Messrs. Givens (Rangemaster) and Yeager (Tactical Response).

They are two of the best.

Some one like Rangemaster would do you well .Don't worry about the cost it will be worth every penny ! I took a course with J Farnam and it was very obvious that I knew so little !
My CCW goes back a longe time ,40+ years .In those days courses weren't even available and that was frustrating. You're lucky now with many courses available .
A good course will keep you out of trouble .#1 avoidance
You'll do better when properly trained . You'll do better in court as appearing a responsible , trained citizen rather than crazy with a gun.
#1 avoidance is the better than trying to survive a shootout and the subsequent court .
When carrying leave your macho at home.
