Ms. Defense started because Kelly Reeves understood the intimidation factor. After years of putting off firearms training herself, she realized that comfort and expert instruction could transform fear into empowerment. Now she teaches others—primarily women—how to overcome that same hesitation and master the skills needed to protect themselves and their families.
Kelly holds certifications from the California DOJ, NRA, and USCCA. Her classes cover:
Private and semi-private instruction accommodates up to three people. Classes are 1.5 hours and customized to meet each student where they are—whether you've never fired a handgun or just need to shake off rust.
What's included: - Hands-on guidance from a certified instructor - Range fees and target systems (steel or paper) - Open range setting with safe berm boundaries - 150+ rounds of ammunition required (bring your own)
What to bring: - Centerfire handgun only (no rimfire) - Three magazines or speed loaders for revolvers - Eye and ear protection - Proper clothing: hat, long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes - Water and sunscreen - Notebook and pen
Clean and lubricate your firearm before class, or bring a cleaning kit. If your gun hasn't been used in the past three months, have a certified gunsmith service it first.
Teaching kids about firearms doesn't mean creating fear—it means giving them knowledge that saves lives. Ms. Defense offers dedicated safety classes teaching children the "stop, don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult" protocol.
Kids learn: - Firearm safety fundamentals - How to safely handle unloaded weapons - Basic shooting mechanics and grip techniques - What to do if they encounter a gun - The importance of secure storage
This class is dry practice only—no live ammunition or loaded weapons.
Class includes: - 1.5 hours of instruction - Child Firearm Safety Guide - Hands-on training with unloaded pistols
"I signed my wife up for one of Kelly's classes. She never shot a pistol before. Kelly made her feel so comfortable, and she got all of her shots in the 8-inch ring - 100% for CCW! All thanks to the amazing Kelly!" — Richard B.
"I highly recommend Kelly's class. She is super informative and patient. She makes the class fun and engaging. My daughter and I will definitely be signing up for more classes!" — Lanette W.
Personalized training works better than generic group instruction, especially for new shooters who feel more comfortable in private settings. Every session is customized to address specific pain points, build confidence, and progressively increase proficiency.
Ms. Defense provides several downloadable guides: - Comprehensive guide to traveling with firearms (air, rail, car) - Teaching gun safety to children - Buyer's guide for selecting your first firearm
Kelly Reeves is certified by: - California Department of Justice - National Rifle Association (NRA) - United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA)
