Inland Training

Inland Training is run by firearms instructors who teach (or have taught) law enforcement—police officers, sheriff's deputies, federal agents. They've seen it all: brand new academy cadets through seasoned professionals. That experience translates directly to their civilian classes.

Their curriculum is structured in progressive tiers:

• •Basic - Fundamentals of safe gun handling and shooting
• •Intermediate - Building on foundational skills
• •Advanced - Refined technique and tactical awareness
• •Defensive - Self-defense applications and decision-making

Each course builds on the prior one, so you advance at your own pace.

"Safety is the number one priority with these classes—which makes it all the more fun."

Their approach is decidedly non-military. No boot camp atmosphere. No yelling at students who are learning. They recognize that every mistake a beginner makes is normal and expected. If you've only seen guns in Bruce Willis movies, they can get you on the right track.

They also understand the legal side—what you can and can't do with a firearm, what decisions will get you thrown in jail or cost you your house. These aren't things you can afford to get wrong, and they've logged decades teaching this material.

Students report high satisfaction with instruction quality and instructor patience. The emphasis stays on individual coaching rather than one-size-fits-all instruction.
