Champion Firearm Training

Champion Firearm Training operates out of Parma, Michigan, running certified CPL (Concealed Pistol License) and CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) training for Jackson, Hillsdale, Ingham, Calhoun, Eaton, Branch Counties, and all of Michigan.

Shawn is a certified MCRGO CPL instructor and structures each class around three core components:

• •Basic firearm safety fundamentals
• •Personal defense strategies and real-world scenarios
• •Shooting techniques and range fundamentals

Michigan mandates that CPL training must be certified by the state or a national/state firearms organization, provide at least 8 hours of instruction, include at least 3 hours on a firing range, and require firing a minimum of 30 rounds of ammunition. Champion's courses meet and exceed these requirements.

Classes combine classroom instruction on Michigan gun laws and defensive principles with hands-on range work. Unlike pure book-learning, students get actual trigger time under supervision. Reviews consistently mention Shawn's patience with shooters of all levels—from complete beginners to experienced gun owners brushing up on safety or legal changes.

"As someone relatively new to the world of firearms, I recently had the opportunity to attend a firearms class that exceeded my expectations in every aspect for a valuable experience. Shawn showed a passion for teaching and his commitment to safety was evident throughout the entire course." ~ Chrystal Williams

Students range from newcomers (often women with initial hesitations) to shooters refining skills. One attendee drove 4.5 hours to take the course. Another said, "I have taken NRA classes years ago and Shawn's class topped it by far!"

Instead of passive lectures, training emphasizes hands-on repetition. One review noted: "Lots of hands on learning for beginners to gain some confidence in certain scenarios before range time." Shawn provides individualized attention and lets students practice handling techniques repeatedly until comfortable.

Courses cover current Michigan firearm regulations, CCW restrictions, where you can legally carry, and how to properly register pistol transactions. Champion maintains updated resources on new Michigan gun laws and regulations changes.

• •First-time gun owners applying for CPL
• •Shooters moving to Michigan needing state-specific training
