Guns with Grady

William David Grady is an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, USCCA Certified Firearms Instructor, and Mississippi Enhanced Carry Permit Instructor. His background includes range safety officer certification, 4-H Shooting Sports coaching, and years of teaching. His motto says it all: "In a self-defense situation, a person will default to his or her level of training."

Mississippi Enhanced Carry Permit Certification

Eight-hour combined classroom and live-fire course that gets you certified to apply for Mississippi's Enhanced Carry Permit. This permit opens up more locations where you can legally carry compared to the standard permit. The classroom covers conflict avoidance, situational awareness, firearms safety, legal aspects, and more.

Private Shooting Lessons

One-on-one or small group instruction for anyone who needs a refresher—or who just wants to shoot their firearm and become familiar with how it handles. Not limited to pistols. Grady covers AR-15s, deer rifles, shotguns, and other firearms. Topics include proper grip, stance, magazine loading, and safe handling.

Try-Before-You-Buy Range Class

Got a new handgun you've never fired? This class solves the problem of discovering at the range that your new gun doesn't fit your hand or shooting style. Grady brings several smaller concealed carry firearms in different calibers so you can test them before deciding what to keep.

Mississippi Hunter Education

Offered once yearly (late summer/early fall). Required for anyone born after January 1, 1972 before purchasing a hunting license in Mississippi. Covers firearms safety, hunting etiquette, tree-stand safety, and licensing requirements.

Florida Concealed Carry Permit Class

For Florida residents and non-residents. Includes classroom instruction on Florida laws, live-fire component, and certificate valid for permit application.

Private Group Classes for Churches & Businesses

Groups can book Grady to travel and teach at your location—especially useful for church security teams needing Enhanced Carry certification.

Students should bring their own firearm if they have one, 50 rounds of ammunition, and hearing/eye protection. If you don't have a firearm, Grady provides handguns for the shooting portion. Bring a positive attitude.
