We provide one-on-one shooting supervision in the shooting booth. We understand that you need expert instruction on the safe operation of a pistol from a whisper away.

Unlike the others, we do not have one instructor who watches five students on the range at the same time. We are right there with you each and every step along the way to ensure that you are safe while learning.

Finally, our Chief Instructor actually teaches the class. He does not rely upon the playing of out-of-date and boring DVDs as a substitute for quality and up-to-date instruction.

Our training is a 100 percent live and entertaining presentation which ensure that you fully grasp and understand the material well after you leave the classroom. My students see for themselves how fast the GroupOn classes are over before we reach the half-way point of our class.

Our Chief instructor has been training citizens, such as yourself, for over 15 years with a 100 percent safety record.

How to Survive a Violent Encounter

If you've never done it, the answer seems elusive.

The very first step is to prepare yourself. Accordingly, you need the tools. Hands down, the best tool is a firearm. So, buy one. If you don't know how to select a proper one for yourself, be my friend. I will teach you.

The next step is to get training on how to use that gun. If you need coaching or a CPL, I can help you. Shooting a firearm is not rocket science, but you need to know the fundamentals. Again, I can help you.

Learning any topic, such as marksmanship and self-defense can be learned. I've trained thousands. I know what I am talking about.

A very efficient way of training is to learn from the experience of others. Accordingly, I have a new installment of my FREE self-defense series. On Saturday, I will present two new speakers who had the experience of being hunted by a predator.

They survived and are willing to tell their stories.

You should be there. Learn all the details. Hear how just one piece of information can tip the odds in your favor if you ever need to defend your life, your family, or your home.

This program is FREE. It is my gift to my community. I care. If you didn't know, I was a violent crime victim years ago. I made personal protection my life's work. I want to share my knowledge with you.

The training is this Saturday from noon until 2pm. It is only two hours long. We have two speakers who have awesome and powerful testimonies to share. You will learn something that will better help you protect your family.

How NRA Fi****ms Instructor Rick Ector Was Robbed In His Own Driveway - Part 11

What Am I Doing Now? - Training Is Still My Passion

My journey in the gun rights community now spans almost 20 years. As you have read, years ago I was ambivalent about guns until I was held-up in my driveway. Well, it did not take long before I made a few changes.

I bought a pistol and obtained my Concealed Pistol License. I spent a lot of time studying personal protection until I made the decision to become on instructor. It did not take long before I became a person who trains citizens to be instructors - Training Counselor.

I then became interested in empowering women. I did not talk about it earlier, but one day I saw a TV news story about a woman's n**e and deceased body being found in a field. In the aftermath, i felt the urge to do something. I asked a few fi****ms instructors I knew to help me train a class of 50 women how to shoot a pistol - for free.

Fast-forward to now, my group of volunteers and sponsors are now preparing for the 13th annual version of this event. Cumulatively, almost 9,000 ladies have been trained for free. The program will top over 10,000 participants this year. Keep watching my social media and I will keep you updated.

I just had the most engaging conversation with the sweetest old lady on planet Earth. I will have the honor of meeting her in my next class. She attended the free women's shooting event a few years ago and just decided that she wants to start carrying. I feel very happy for her and the decision she made. For her, now is the time to take action. As I told her, nobody can make this decision for you. You will do it when you are ready. She's ready. True story.

A Responsible Gun Owner Needs Training

How NRA Fi****ms Instructor Rick Ector Was Robbed In His Own Driveway - Part 10

During the class, I learned a staggering amount of information about the safe usage, storage, loading, unloading, handling, purchasing, transporting, and maintenance of fi****ms. Before that day, I truly did not know how much I did not know about fi****ms.

I was introduced to the nomenclature of all of the firearm’s constituent parts on both a revolver and a semi-automatic, learned how the parts inter-operated to create a discharge, learned the legal aspects of self defense and lethal force, learned how the media and “certain powers that be” distort the truth and spread outright lies about handguns, learned the proper fundamentals of shooting a firearm, learned a few shooting stances, and learned how to become a more hardened target.

(To be continued)

How NRA Fi****ms Instructor Rick Ector Was Robbed In His Own Driveway - Part 8

Pure luck, it seems, brought a gun into my possession that fit my hand perfectly. I couldn’t test fire it, as the shop didn’t have a range. So I had to “take it on faith” that I could handle shooting it. I must have filled out a ream of paperwork that day; it was like closing on a house.

Anyhow, it’s funny now recounting the experience, but I was – in all truth – nervous while carrying my new encased gun from the back entrance of the shop to my car. I mused how ironic and funny it would be if I was to now be robbed of my new gun at the gun shop.

My next stop on my personal armament tour would be to venture back downtown to police headquarters to have my new firearm “safety inspected.” Before having my gun inspected, I had no idea of what tests they were going to perform to properly test my gun.

After they safety inspected my gun, I am still ignorant to the process even though I witnessed it with my very own eyes. Bottom line: by the time I left police headquarters this time, my name, my personal info, and the fact that I owned a handgun were now entered into a database.

On my departure from police headquarters I picked up a copy of an application for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) from the front desk. I opened the envelope and read the application. It was rather lengthy but informative. I figured that I would peruse it more thoroughly in my car. Right before I left the building, I asked a near-by police officer for a place where I could go and shoot my new gun. He specified a range and told me how to get there.

(To be continued)

How NRA Fi****ms Instructor Rick Ector Was Robbed In His Own Driveway - Part 7

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With One Step – Gun Ownership

Anyhow, after filing the crime report at my not-so-local neighborhood police station, I headed downtown to acquire a “Ten Day Purchase Permit.” The Gun Licensing Department ran my background to see if I had any official governmental prohibitions – felonies – against owning a firearm.

Of course, the check came back clean so I was issued the permit. I was now able to legally buy a gun within the next ten days. If I had failed to do so (buy a gun), I would have to come back downtown to repeat the process.

Next, I went to a local gun shop without haste and bought my first handgun. I didn’t let the ominous signs – warning customers against pulling out guns because they might get shot – or the fact that all of the gun shop employees were openly carrying their guns on their hips, deter me. I had no idea of what to buy, so I bought the same gun that my brother-in-law owned.

“If it was good enough for him, it must be good enough for me,” I reasoned. I didn’t originally plan on spending several hundreds of dollars on my purchase, but my first and only thought was to buy the best gun I could “afford” even if a few utility bills didn’t get paid on time that month. My life and safety were worth a ding or two on my credit report.

In retrospect, the gun dealer didn’t offer me a lot of informed customer service. To his credit, maybe he assumed, that since I was a guy, that I knew what I wanted. In fact, I didn’t know much of anything.

My ignorance was my fault. The dealer’s fault was not asking me enough questions to allow him to best assess my needs. However, his insensitivity did not stop him from also suggesting additional purchases: jacketed hollow points and an inside-the-waist (IWB) holster.

(To be continued)

How NRA Fi****ms Instructor Rick Ector Was Robbed In His Own Driveway - Part 7

I never bothered to research the facts on gun ownership for myself. I left that task up to other people to educate me through the media via so-called factoid public service announcements, speeches from various governmental officials who enact “feel good” legislation that doesn’t work or conduct gun “buy-backs” that can’t be objectively evaluated for effectiveness, and barbershop talk with many people in my community who discuss their feelings about guns rather than the honest-to-God facts.

My problem was that I allowed others to do my thinking for me on the subject of guns. I have since “in-sourced” that function back to the person I trust the most: me.

Everybody Knows Everything Until Something Happens

Well, something did “happen” to me – I was robbed in my own back yard while parking my car in my garage. Prior to this event, I did not see myself as a potential victim. I have always been able to “hold my own and handle my business” whenever I needed to do so throughout my life.

The mere idea that someone would have the audacity to size me up as a victim never crossed my mind. A gun in the hands of violent predators, who have no qualms about using violence or the threat of violence to accomplish their evil purposes, changes the natural order of the food chain. I then knew that I needed to make a few changes.

Consequently, I then chose to get on the playing field. To my surprise, I have been warmly greeted by the pro gun rights side and have been consequently shunned by the “guns are evil” side. Making the decision to own a firearm makes you a gun nut in the eyes of many ignorant people.

The uninformed and unenlightened folk will treat you differently and are prone to making snide comments about you. They’ll either tell you that they don’t “need” a gun because of where they live or they’ll demonstrate some Kung Fu disarmament moves they learned from playing Tekken on their PlayStation2 video game console.

They couldn’t possibly be more wrong. However, I’ll patiently wait until “something” happens to them and I’ll forget and forgive all of the ignorant things that they said and welcome them to the correct side.
