Why choose The EDC Guy Academy?
We understand training is an investment and not an expense. Most businesses these days are only interested in making a quick dollar off of you. Yes. Those cheap Groupons! They normally have very large classes which means you won't get to learn much, or get the proper range time you need. To be honest those student end up coming to me to learn the basics, consultation purposes, and actual firearm training. In this industry you get what you pay for. The EDC Guy Academy believes firearm training is an investment. I will help you learn everything you need to know.
Our relationship just doesn't end after class. Once a student always a student, you will always have a support system. This means, even if you have to defend yourself or protect your family.
The EDC Guy Academy is a partner with the top concealed carry association in America, the USCCA. Through our partnership, this will ensure you get the best training and if need be, the BEST legal aid in America. Their membership offers so much, while remaining super cost effective. If you have the unfortunate choice to defend yourself, you definitely want the USCCA in your corner.
