STUDENT TESTIMONIAL
I was so excited and a little nervous about taking this course. I started to cancel twice! A friend
of ours, who is quite comfortable with firearms recommended my husband and I to seek out
Dr. Holifield and I am so happy we did. This course taught us how to select the best firearm and
for me to feel more comfortable around handguns. I have had previous firearm courses but,
this one provided a great deal of information and training.
Thanks Dr. Holifield, for calming my fears and teaching me the importance
of good firearm training!

TIPS To Live By
Guns have only two enemies, Rust and Politicians.
It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off or the shotgun rack!
The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, at 1400 feet per second the response time of a .357 magnum is nearly instantaneous.
The most important rule in a gun fight is: Always Win - cheat if necessary - you dictate who fires the first shot!
Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets... You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.
If you are in a gun fight:
Shoot to kill.
If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
If you're not loading, you should be moving,
If you're not moving, you're dead.
In a life and death situation, do something...It may be wrong, but do something!
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.
You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
