ABOUT SELF DEFENDERS

 

My name is Bradley Brubaker and I am the owner of Self Defenders LLC along with my wife Chelsea. I started this business because my passion is in the firearms industry. I want to train and encourage the public to become comfortable around firearms to protect themselves and their families.  I have 2+ years of being an instructor and I have been around firearms since I was 4 years old. 

I have trained law enforcement officers, military members, security officers, young and elderly people. My certifications are Basic pistol, Rifle, RSO (Range Safety Officer), CRSO (Chief Range Safety Officer) and Shotgun with the NRA.

We have multiple classes depending on your skill level from beginner to advanced. At Self Defenders, we have a class tier system, where you must take basic level courses to graduate to the next tiered class. We all start somewhere and build a solid foundation together! By the time class ends, you will understand firearm safety and experience pure fun!

We also offer private instruction, youth instruction, ladies only, and more to come!
