“From complete beginner to confident carry in one year!

A year ago, I was completely new to firearms but eager to learn. As a woman entering this space, Best Defense made the experience incredible! The staff is incredibly patient - no question is too basic or stupid. They taught me everything: safety, cleaning, proper stance, holster selection, and tactical training.

What sets them apart is how welcoming they make it for women. I felt safe and respected from day one. No rushing or pressure - just thorough, professional instruction. They even address women-specific challenges like concealed carry with different clothing styles.

I became a member and joined several leagues because the community is so supportive. The women's groups are fantastic! Today I carry confidently and feel truly empowered.
Ladies - if you're curious about firearms for protection, sport, or just learning, this is THE place. They transform beginners into skilled, responsible gun owners. Highly recommend!”

“Always touch and go when you visit, you never know what "mood" they are in. Yes, it is less than tidy, but they usually have what I need at a fairly decent price. Not sure what's up with the odd hours lately, but oh well...check the hours before you go.”
