Guardian Firearm Training and Personal Protection

Mike Driscoll brought decades of military discipline into civilian firearms instruction. As a former U.S. Army Sergeant (E-5), NRA-Certified Instructor in Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun, and NC Certified Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH) Instructor, he approaches every class with a single priority: safe gun handling practices come first.

"My #1 priority is instilling safe gun handling practices in every student—period. Once you understand how to safely handle and operate a firearm, developing your marksmanship skills becomes a rewarding and empowering experience."
