Martinez CPL Training

Jaime Martinez teaches concealed pistol license classes that actually work for first-time gun owners. He's a USCCA-certified instructor with law enforcement experience, and he designed the curriculum around what people actually need to know—not what sounds impressive.

The Instructor Approach

"My goal is the best student learning experience. We learn all about how subtle things make a world of difference. This is done in a very open and comfortable classroom setting with questions welcomed anytime."

Jaime skips the corporate training-video nonsense. Classes are hands-on and entertaining. If you've never shot before, that's his specialty—he works 1-on-1 at the range and promises you'll feel confident by the end of the day or you take the class again free.

• •Classroom instruction (8 hours, 10 AM–6 PM)
• •Indoor range access and shooting portion
• •Handgun rental and ammunition (if needed)
• •Eye and ear protection
• •Range fees
• •Free coffee and lunch (usually pizza)
• •CPL application completion and guidance

Class Size & Setup

Maximum 12 students per class. The classroom and indoor range are at the same location:

The class covers everything required for Michigan CPL eligibility:

Morning Session - Universal safety rules and clearing procedures (semi-automatics and revolvers) - Types of handguns: revolvers, semi-automatics, striker-fired designs - Magazine operation and ammunition basics - Selecting a handgun for yourself - Defensive shooting fundamentals: grip, shooting platform, sight picture, trigger control - Unsighted fire and point shooting techniques

Afternoon Session (After Lunch) - Michigan legal use of force: reasonable force vs. deadly force - When deadly force is justified and when it ends - Civil liability issues and what prosecutors want to know - Defending your home vs. defending property - Encounters with law enforcement - Recognizing threats and avoiding violent situations - What happens after a shooting incident: phone calls, police arrival, statements, legal consequences

Range Portion - Marksmanship fundamentals - 1-on-1 coaching from Jaime - Aimed shooting and point shooting practice - Safety drills - Visual test covering material

• •People applying for their first Michigan CPL/CCW
• •Complete beginners (no shooting experience required)
• •Anyone who wants to understand Michigan's concealed carry laws before purchasing a handgun
• •People who want personalized attention, not factory-line training

What to Bring - Your own pistol (if you have one)—unloaded and cased for transport - Writing pad and pen - Snacks or drinks (coffee is free, other beverages available for purchase) - No ammunition in the classroom

For complete beginners, Martinez also teaches a "Home Firearm Safety" or "Introduction to Firearms" class:

• •How different guns actually work
• •How to safely handle firearms around others
• •How to check if a gun is loaded
• •Basic grip and shooting fundamentals
• •Proper gun etiquette
• •All skill levels and ages welcome

This is a great stepping stone before the CPL class.

Livonia is just outside Detroit, making the class easily accessible from: - Southfield - Farmington Hills - Redford - Royal Oak - Canton - Westland - Plymouth - Detroit proper

Michigan requires mandatory firearm training before issuing a concealed pistol license. This class meets that legal requirement and actually teaches you how to think about self-defense responsibly—not just how to pass a test.
