Learn to shoot or enhance your skills with training from a National Rifle Association Instructor who is certified in the disciplines of Basic Pistol Shooting, Home Firearm Safety, Personal Protection, Shotgun, Rifle, Reloading, and Refuse To Be A Victim programs. No previous firearm experience necessary. Multiple course options to select from for beginners through experienced shooters. Safety classes are available for families and children (must be accompanied by parent). International Firearm Safety, Inc., holds a business license for both Lee County and the City of Fort Myers, is incorporated in the State of Florida, and maintains both General Liability and Professional insurance. Mr. Dean has hundreds of hours of verifiable training (always ask to see your instructors' credentials). No maximum time limit on private classes - we provide the individual attention necessary for you to achieve a level of comfort - we don't rush you out the door the way unprofessional trainers do. ( Most classes do require a minimum time ). Firearms of multiple different calibers, and ammunition, are provided for you at no additional cost - you will receive training with both revolvers and semi-automatics, both single-action and double-action. Private, personalized, one-on-one training available. There are classes offered for ladies only, taught with a female assistant. All courses by appointment - with convenient and flexible scheduling. Ask about scheduling Mr. Dean to speak about child access prevention at your church, school, Boy Scouts Troop, or special event. National Rifle Association certificates provided verifying successful completion of each level of training. Assistance is provided for filling out and filing Concealed Firearm Application forms. Fingerprint, Notary, and Passport Photograph service available.
ALL my classes are scheduled on a first-come first scheduled private basis, so this enables me to schedule at YOUR convenience around YOUR schedule, not mine : evenings, weekends, days, anything convenient for you.
My courses are in the Fort Myers area. There are many value added items in my course that are not found in others.
Also, I have the lowest student-teacher ratio in the state. My maximum class size is four persons. This makes for a better learning atmosphere and comfort in asking questions.
There is no time limit to my course. I am not simply trying to get you in and out in 2 hours. And you may contact me at any time after your training with any additional questions.
I train you on eight different semi-automatics and revolvers of multiple calibers. There are several reasons for this : it is a ' Training ' course, not just a ' Shooting ' course. This is to your benefit. We will shoot a minimum of 8 different guns, both revolvers and semi-automatics, both single action and double action; and ranging in caliber from a .22, .380, .38 Special, .40, .45, and more. This helps you become familiar with the differences in firearms. Most don't allow this, and the ones that do charge additional for a ' rental ' of just one gun. I do not. It is a good way to use different firearms to see what you like before you spend $500-$1000. You are welcome to bring your own firearms also.
I also do not do the gun show class of fire one shot and you are done. I will not give that class. You will fire a minimum of 25 rounds in my class - usually 50 or more.
My credentials exceed every other instructor in the State of Florida : I am THE ONLY instructor in the State of Florida certified by Arizona, Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Kansas, and New Mexico. I am one of only two instructors certified by Louisiana, North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Utah. As such I have had thousands of hours of training all over the country and most training was given by law enforcement. I am THE ONLY instructor IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES that is certified to give courses by 26 different states. Please ask me about the best combination of permits that will provide you with the most coverage in the greatest number of states.
I have a business license in both Lee County, and the City of Fort Myers. I am fully insured and bonded. ( if you do not select me as an instructor, PLEASE verify the instructor you select is licensed and insured, and that he is giving you an actual NRA course, and not just some course he made up - you may possibly lose your CWP if he does ) I am incorporated in the State of Florida.
I am the only instructor in all of South Florida that will train children. I ALSO PROVIDE A FREE GUN LOCK TO EACH ATTENDEE.
Finally, I do not charge extra for additional services - I am a notary, and will notarize your application here. I will take your passport photos here ( this is usually $15 elsewhere ). For other states I will do your fingerprints. The other instructors simply give you the class and send you on your way. When you train with me we will fill out your paperwork together, so it is filed right the first time.
There are just some things to consider when you are seeking an instructor. There are some good ones out there, but always ask to see their verifiable credentials. I am usually booked one month in advance, due to the fact that I am the only one that teaches so many different states and my small class size.
Currently I am two weeks lead time on scheduling. I charge $150 for the Florida class, and $200 for any other state specific course, EVERYTHING INCLUDED. I also put together a combination one-day course for six state permits that get you concealed carry in 40 states for one low flat one-time fee - so you can do it all in one place all at once.
