More Than the Minimum
Meeting a minimum requirement is not the same as being prepared. Onyx Defence training emphasizes education, responsible firearm ownership, safe handling, confidence, situational awareness, secure storage, and continued learning.
The goal is not simply to complete a class. The goal is to help students better understand the responsibility that comes with firearm ownership and carrying a firearm.
