Full description and what we offer
Willis Home Defense provides firearms instruction backed by California state certification (DCA, BSIS), NRA credentials, and USCCA instructor status. Whether you're picking up a gun for the first time or renewing your CCW, the training is built around your actual situation—not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
The shop is an authorized provider for Riverside County and San Bernardino County CCW training. New applicants need the legal 16-hour course to meet safety and qualification requirements for county sheriffs. Existing permit holders can do the 8-hour renewal through Willis Home Defense as well.
Note: California SB2 changed training requirements and costs—contact directly for current details.

The instructor brings over 20 years of qualification experience and holds POST certification (#22002164013002) along with state firearms instructor credentials.
They don't assume all students start at the same place. Beginners get proper function, handling, safety procedures, and dos/don'ts. Experienced shooters get refresher training tailored to their current level. The ladies-only option removes intimidation factor—bring a friend if you're hesitant. Quick Shoot sessions prove that shooting is a perishable skill, and they've built affordable ways to maintain it when certification isn't the goal.
All training addresses personal protection in the home, which is the core mission.
