Ethos Firearms Training Ueniweb

Ethos Firearms Training operates in Bloomington, Indiana, focusing on practical self-defense and safety instruction rather than range time alone. Founder and USCCA instructor Dennis Abrams teaches that firearms instruction should prepare you to protect your household and loved ones—not just teach you to shoot.

"A bad instructor will just teach you how to shoot and that training can be fun and you will learn, but it won't teach you how to protect your house or your loved ones. We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training."

This principle drives every class at Ethos. The difference between learning to shoot and learning to defend is substantial, and it shapes how courses are structured.
