Wingler Firearms Training

Wingler Firearms Training, LLC is run by Paul Wingler, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and NRA-certified instructor operating in Overland Park, Kansas and surrounding areas. The operation centers on one core idea: "Promoting Safety through Education; Building Confidence through Knowledge and Training."

Wingler doesn't teach marksmanship as an abstract skill. Instead, he builds drills around real situations—home defense scenarios, concealed carry readiness, and situational awareness to avoid conflict entirely. His background as a Marine shows in the structure: each course builds on the previous one, emphasizing that skill development is cumulative.
