About Us
The company motto means "To save life".
It is what, and why, we teach.
Jesus challenged the hypocrites in Luke 6, declaring it better to ACT to save life rather than be passive and allow evil - even if it is HARD. We also need to decide to be our own first responders in a world full of evil. Even if it's hard.
Dedicated Instructors
Teaching mainly in Casco, MI and Corning, CA, Mark and the team run CPL/CCW classes, advanced defensive pistol and defensive shotgun classes, rifle classes and periodic training.
Beginners a Specialty
100% of shooters trained give a five star rating, and frequently mention how comfortable they were made to feel as they learned valuable shooting skills.
Certified Range Officers
MI Firearm and CPL Training uses certified ROs for all training. Mark is an NRA Chief Range Safety Officer and certificated USPSA Range Official.
Every student, from beginner to professional is provided with clear safety guidelines to ensure the continuation of our excellent safety record.
