Discover the valuable insights within "The Responsible Gun Owner", a comprehensive guide for anyone committed to safe and informed firearm ownership.

I wrote "The Responsible Gun Owner" because owning a firearm is about a lot more than knowing how to shoot. It’s about safety, judgment, training, and understanding the responsibility that comes with it.

After more than 25 years of teaching fi****ms, I wanted to put the lessons I’ve learned into one practical book that can help both new and experienced gun owners become safer, more confident, and more responsible.

“It’s not a book about guns. It’s a book about being responsible when you own one.”

Getting a CPL isn’t just about checking a box, sitting through a class, and getting a certificate.

It’s about understanding the responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm.

At Michigan Pistol Academy, we’ve trained thousands of students over the years, from people who have never touched a handgun to experienced gun owners looking to sharpen their skills. Our goal has always been the same: give you the knowledge, confidence, and judgment to be a responsible gun owner.

We keep our classes focused on real-world information, practical instruction, firearm safety, Michigan law, and quality range time. Ask questions. Learn. Shoot. Leave better prepared than when you walked through the door.

If you’ve been putting off getting your Michigan CPL, now is a good time to get it done.

And if you want to continue learning after class, I put more than 25 years of teaching experience into my book, The Responsible Gun Owner. It covers many of the things I wish every firearm owner understood—not just about shooting, but about the responsibility that comes with owning and carrying a firearm.

But whether you ever buy the book or not, start with good training.

Train seriously. Carry responsibly. Never stop learning.

🔎 Searching for a “CPL Class Near Me”? Read This Before You Choose One.

If you're looking for a Michigan CPL class, you'll find plenty of choices.

Closest class? Cheapest class? Biggest class? Fastest class?

After more than two decades of teaching fi****ms and concealed carry students, I believe there are some much more important questions you should be asking.

I just published a new article:

“Michigan CPL Class Near Me: 15 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Concealed Carry Class.”

I cover what new students should look for in an instructor, class size, range training, Michigan law, working with beginners, continued training—and why earning the certificate should be the beginning of your fi****ms education, not the end.

Whether you take your class with Michigan Pistol Academy or somewhere else, make an informed choice.

A firearm in the hands of someone who cannot control anger, fear, or ego creates unnecessary danger. Responsible gun ownership demands emotional maturity, restraint, and the ability to remain calm during conflict when poor decisions can permanently alter lives.
