Firearms Training

NRA certified instruction

Safe, confident, responsible gun ownership, taught by an NRA certified firearms instructor. From your first safety course to live fire at the range.

Firearms & self defense

Safety first. Every time.

Red Dragon is a firearms and self defense school. Albert is an NRA certified firearms instructor, and he teaches the same way on the range as on the mat: realistic, practical and safety first at every step.

Whether you just bought your first pistol, want your spouse to be as comfortable as you are, or want to defend your home with confidence, there is a course for you. Classroom sessions can happen at the school, in your home or at your office, and live fire is done at a local firearms range in the Nashville area.

My husband and I took a couple of beginner gun safety courses from him and he is very thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommend him.Dana Burk, firearms student
