It was a week ago tonight I learned of the death of Louis Awerbuck.  I lost a friend a mentor and a legend in the firearms training community. I've spent the last week thinking of the things the soft spoken but very direct man taught me. Things that I carry with me everyday of my life. Like things your father taught you. Things you hear in the back of your head as you are about to do something.
I ran into two friends last night standing in line at a cafeteria to get dinner. We sat together and laughed and talked about the things we had seen and done and been told by him. All three of us had the wonderful pleasure of being able to  say we had taken a class and learned from a true Master. It was one of these men that had suggested me taking a class with Louis back in  2010.
The class was "Tactical Handgun-Stage I"  It was a three day class with 24 hours of instruction here in North Carolina. The class prepared me and taught me what I was capable of doing with my handgun. I went back the next two years for one day refresher classes. May of 2012 was the last time I spoke to and trained with Louis. Here is a treasured photo of me and Louis that year.

I was feeling sad and sorry for myself last week when I read on some posts about people that had planned on training with Louis one day. That day never came for some of the guys that I follow on social media and have a huge amount of respect for. I thanked my lucky stars and my friend for suggesting that I take his class. I was very fortunate to have taken around 40 hours of instruction from someone who shaped me, someone who really cared about his students and running a safe line and teaching people what they were capable of doing to save their life or someone else.

I will remember Louis in what he taught me and the way he lived his life. 

Thanks for Flip Fierro and his brother Robert for inviting me on the radio show to discuss the Carry The Load National Relay. The hour long show was live this evening on Little Raleigh Radio. I really enjoyed the show and the ability to spread the word about the relay. Flip and his brother were very good hosts. Thanks so much.

The Carry The Load National Relay is coming through Wake Forest on May 9th, 2014 at 2am.
The Relay is headed to Dallas Texas but will pass through Wake Forest and make a quick stop at the Staples on Retail Drive. Please come out and walk with the team I have started with the Wake Forest Fire Department. If you are not able to attend or walk then please consider making a small donation.

The relay was started to bring back the meaning of Memorial Day. Veterans and current military members and first responders are asked to come out. All money raised is used for Military and First Responders families that need assistance.

When was the last time you practiced drawing from concealed. Watch this Surveillance video of an  off-duty sheriff's officer shooting of a robbery suspect in Chicago. Notice how fast the three suspects approached the man. Luckily he had his gun on him not inside the car. Pay attention to how fast  after he draws his gun he is on target and delivering a lethal shot to the robber. Then he goes to the passenger side of the car retrieves a cell phone and calls 911. He still has his gun drawn and looking for more threats.

Happy New Year everyone.

I hope everyone has some goals and things they want to accomplish in 2014.

I know for myself on a personal level I want to become an even better shot.
On a professional level I want to teach people how to safely and effectively shoot guns as a recreational sport and defend themselves and their loved ones in the need arises which I hope it doesn't.

Late this past year I was blessed when Barry Allen owner of the Academy of Personal Defense and Security asked me to help him team teach at his Concealed Carry Handgun classes.

I am looking forward to helping Barry in 2014 and helping even more students getting the instruction they need in several classes that Barry is planning on teaching. Please check the classes section of my website for upcoming classes.

If you have any needs or concerns please let me know and I will do my best to help you or get you the help you need to meet them.

Very Exciting News.

I am team teaching with another instructor at his facility in Wendell, NC.
We both recently traveled to The North Carolina Justice Academy in Salemburg, NC.
Where we took an update class on the new laws that became effective on Oct. 1st. 2013.
The new classes for N.C. Conceal Carry-Handgun will cover the new laws.

The classroom and range are at one convenient location in Wendell, NC. This cuts down on travel time from the classroom to the range for qualification.

He has over 7 years of teaching NRA classes and North Carolina Concealed Carry Handgun Classes.


Check the classes section of the website for class dates and email or call to register.

First the updated website is up. Let me know what you think.

Carry Handgun permit.
