Full description and what we offer
Merica's Defense Firearms Training is run by Cody Stowe, a retired Army infantryman with two decades of real-world military experience. After leaving active duty in 2019, Cody moved to Virginia and started this operation because he saw the gap—too many gun owners had access but no proper training. His father was a Houston PD officer killed in the line of duty, which shaped his commitment to doing this right.
Cody holds certifications as an NRA Instructor, USCCA Certified Instructor, and Virginia DCJS Certified Personal Protection Specialist. He also trained in Modern Army Combatives (Level 3), was a L.I.N.E.S Combatives Instructor, and served as a Military Mountaineering Instructor for the Northern Warfare Training Center in Alaska.
