CCW MAGGIE    702-375-5900 

In 2009 Maggie started by obtaining all of the requirements to become a CCW/CFP instructor which were the NRA Instructor ratings. For the first two years, she offered the CCW/CFP courses with a few fundamental firearms training classes. With the great response and student base following, Maggie taught and has invested far more than the requirements to become a NRA Training Counselor and in 2014 she obtained that rating and has been teaching the NRA curriculums necessary for students and instructor candidates to become certified. “There is a big difference in learning how to shoot a gun then learning how to use a gun for self-defense”. Maggie has always felt she could better serve the community in delivering life-saving skills rather than competing or recreational shooting. Over the past 6 years, Maggie has had a steady diet of defensive education and training and has offered her services to well over 5000 students. She offers Conceal Carry Weapon courses and Defensive Firearm Training Courses using the “Combat Focus Shooting” as the basis of her defensive training as she is currently seeking to become a Certified/Active CFS Instructor. In delivering the training materials for Multi-State Conceal Carry Weapons Permits, she feels the Firearms Possession Laws and Self Defense Laws are a critical portion of the courses. Though the topics of Use of Deadly Force, the Force Continuum, Criminal and Civil Liability are at the forefront of the discussion, it is also a greater responsibility to avoid a confrontation if at all possible. There is so much more to know about carrying a firearm in public for self-defense. Maggie takes training seriously. She has stated, "There are times that I may be the one and only exposure for students to learn to defend themselves” and “Students may take only one training course due to limited training resources and I want to deliver the very best information and training possible”. Taking a CCW Course is important, yet additional Counter Ambush and Intuitive Defensive Firearms Training are critical to your survival in her opinion. Maggie is committed to students taking away from her courses so much more than a Permit to Carry a Concealed Firearm. Her desire is to deliver the training that may potentially save their lives or the life of a loved one.
Not only is self-defense a way of life for Maggie, It is also a passion and as she has found, there is much more to being a defense instructor than taking an NRA class. She lives with the philosophy “To be a great instructor, you have to be a great student”. Maggie is currently offering several different training courses to civilians, law enforcement and our military.

Her most distinguished accomplishment this year was to work with and train our great Marines at Camp Pendleton’s Edson Range in CA (First Female non-military commissioned Instructor). It was a Life Changing event and will always be remembered. The sign of success of the training was when she was invited to continue to bring her programs back to the base.
