About Me

David Armstrong: I have served in the military and law enforcement, and for over 30 years have been a firearms instructor and trainer for law enforcement, the military, and civilians. In addition to 20+ years in the field I also have earned a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice and have done extensive research in the area of firearms use for self defense. Along with military and police instruction I have received training from such noted figures as Clint Smith, John Farnam, Bank Miller, Mas Ayoob, Bill Jeans, Greg Morrison, Paul Abel, Bill Rogers, and many more. I provide training and consulting to others, and have been recognized in court as an expert in training, tactics, and DUI detection and apprehension. I hold Instructor ratings in multiple disciplines and provide CCW classes for interested parties in Louisiana. "THE MORE I LEARN, THE MORE I REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS TO LEARN."
