Full description and what we offer
What started as a personal mission in 2014 has become Heaps Tactical—a firearms training operation built on real-world experience and legitimate credentials. Founder Tina Heaps survived crime and domestic violence, then turned that experience into a purpose: helping people feel confident and prepared instead of fearful.
"After surviving crime and domestic violence herself, Tina turned her experience into purpose. Her real-world perspective, combined with unmatched credentials, drives every course she teaches."
Tina holds more qualifications than most regional instructors:
She's not just certified—she shoots at expert level.
$75 per person | Saturdays + select weekdays
The CWP class covers what most instructors skip over:

Tina personalizes every lesson. Whether you've never held a gun or you're working on advanced precision, she builds around your skill level and goals. No two students progress the same way—she treats it that way.
Refuse To Be A Victim is an NRA program. Tina's the only certified instructor in the area.
For younger shooters—safety-first instruction with hands-on skill development.
"I took Tina's concealed weapons permit class today and it was absolutely amazing. She goes over in great detail all of the rules, shares her tactics/knowledge, tips, and her personal life experiences that cannot be duplicated anywhere else... Tina just might be the Biggest Baddest Badass on the Planet."
"She's extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about firearms which makes the course so much more enjoyable. She makes you a priority even in a full class of people."
"Tina is an absolute joy to work with. She is VERY knowledgeable and courteous. It was truly an honor to learn from her."
Students consistently praise her: - Deep knowledge of SC law and liability issues - Real personal experience (not corporate training material) - Engaging teaching style - Willingness to work with inexperienced shooters - Availability and responsiveness - Professional but relaxed atmosphere
