First Defense Firearms Training CT

First Defense Firearms Training CT Teaching Fi***rm Safety and Responsibility in Guilford CT My name is Tyler Maynard and I am an NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor.

If you are interested in getting your CT pistol permit, you need to go through a basic pistol course first. I will teach you what you need to know about safe handling and storage of fi****ms and provide you with a certificate of completion of the course so you may proceed with the permitting process. If you have already gone through the basic pistol course and have already obtained your pistol per

mit, but are still unsure about your skills or want to know what it takes to carry your fi***rm safely and responsibly, then I offer private lessons that are tailored to your current skill set. (Please note, these private lessons are not NRA affiliated).

Another great example of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun. Risking your own life to protect the innocent is what it’s all about. This is why we have zero tolerance for the gun control groups and politicians.

The NRA recognizes the brave man who took action to stop a truly despicable act from going any further in Idaho.

Unfortunately, evil will rear its ugly head, making it crucial that good, law-abiding citizens have the means to take action when it matters most.

I can’t believe my eyes. NJ has struck down their “assault weapons” and magazine capacity bans. This is looking good for us getting our ri**es back very soon. If NJ can do it, anyone can!

In a case we are following, the Third Circuit En Banc has struck down New Jersey’s assault weapon and magazine capacity bans. This positive result is an exciting opening act to the upcoming SAF Supreme Court cases, Grant and Viramontes.

There are good things happening across the country for our 2A rights. CCDL has finally gotten their case accepted by the Supreme Court. It has been said that our case is the best written “assault weapons” case they have seen. We remain hopeful that we get our rights back!

Choose your fi****ms instructor wisely.

I won’t mention any names, but there are instructors out there (some of them are big names in the state that run large classes) who only have their students fire between 6-10 rounds for their live fire portion of their class. This does not meet the NRA qualification standard, which is the bare minimum of what the state requires.

In order to pass the NRA class, students must fire 20 rounds into a circle target. That’s not including any warm up, or first shots for someone who has never even touched a fi***rm before. My students fire between 50-75 rounds on average. Allowing students to fire 6-10 rounds and pass them through the class is unacceptable and does not do anyone any favors.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there, especially those who seek to protect their families.

Set up for today’s Concealed Carry course. This is a great class to learn about belts, holsters, pistol selection, red dot optics, how to dress around your fi***rm and much more. Fun live fire drills to practice to improve your safety, accuracy and proficiency.
