Patriot Response

Patriot Response operates training programs in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, focused on education for shooters at every level.

"My first priority in this industry is safety." — Kyle Thompson

Kyle holds multiple certifications: - Licensed Firearms Instructor - Texas LTC Instructor & LTC School Safety Instructor - NRA Pistol Instructor & Range Safety Officer - NRA Refuse to Be a Victim Instructor - AHA CPR Instructor - Stop the Bleed Instructor

He's not former military or law enforcement—just a regular shooter and proud American who believes everyone should know how to defend themselves safely.

Patriot Response serves both people interested in firearms and those skeptical about them. The focus is education over ideology. They publish content on concealed carry mistakes and other practical topics on their blog.
