In this podcast, Stan and Mike talk with longtime friend, Maggie Mordaunt, otherwise known as CCW Maggie.

Maggie is a firearms instructor in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the three talk about women in firearms, and talk about some topics surrounding that.  Women make up a large part of the firearms industry from new permit applications, to gun purchases, to instructors and corporate leaders in the firearms industry.

With more Women wanting to learn how to use firearms for personal defense, there has been a great need for basic fundamental courses and realistic defense training. In this podcast, we are discussing how Maggie got into the firearms industry, preferred handguns for defense and other topics.

Maggie’s Bio: Maggie is the Founder/Owner and Lead Instructor for Homeland Personal Protection Firearms Training. Her training is geared towards defensive shooting to defend against a potential lethal threat here in our Homeland, USA. As a female firearms instructor teaching the Certification Course for Multi-State Conceal Carry Weapon Permits, Maggie is known in the industry as CCW Maggie. Maggie is a Wife to a very supportive husband of (12) years, a Mom of (2) beautiful children and is a Woman who understands the importance of self-defense as a fundamental right.

In 2009 Maggie began her career by obtaining all the requirements necessary to become a CCW/CFP instructor which were the NRA Instructor ratings. For the initial two years, she offered the CCW/CFP courses with a few fundamental firearms training classes. With a great response from the community and student base following, Maggie taught and invested far more than the requirements necessary to become a NRA Training Counselor. In 2014 Maggie obtained her TC rating and has been teaching the NRA curriculums for students and instructor candidates to become certified. Maggie recognized that the CCW Curriculum was important, yet not nearly enough for students to learn how to defend themselves with a firearm. Maggie is Certified through I.C.E. Training as a DFC – Defensive Firearms Coach teaching the Fundamentals of Armed Home Defense and the Fundamentals of Conceal Carry.

We will have Maggie on for a part II podcast soon, to talk about the Women’s Defense Network, and more!

I am honored to be in the NRA Training Blog. I have been blessed to have taken training through the NRA programs since 2009 when there weren’t as many NRA Instructors or Training Counselors. I advanced through their programs quickly and reached a level and the requirements needed to take the NRA Training Counselor Training and in 2014 I achieved that rating. I feel there is a great responsibility to teach NRA Instructors how to be Great NRA Instructors and set them up for success. The NRA Instructor rating of Personal Protection Outside the Home is one way to achieve the requirements needed to teach the NV Conceal Carry Weapons courses, so I have many Instructors who come through our programs with that goal in mind. I also always recommend lots of additional legal and defense information to add to the NRA knowledge.

To this day, I offer the NRA programs and feel they are a great starting point to learning the fundamentals and have important information for anyone interested in learning how to use a firearm. With the number of students who have taken training with my company over the years, I have seen the vast difference of “learning how to shoot a gun vs. how to use a gun for Self-Defense”. With the recognition of the majority of people wanting to use a gun for their own personal safety, I wanted to give my students the best information and skill development possible so I invested my own resources to learn far more than the NRA Curriculums.

To add to my knowledge tank of Defensive Shooting I have followed the defense training doctrine through the I.C.E. Training Programs. On an Instructor Level, the Combat Focus Shooting and the Defensive Firearms Coach Instructor Deployment were so much more complex as they are based on a level of Understanding instead of memory or following a specific PowerPoint or book learning. These programs answered the “Why” questions based on science, physics, kinesiology and empirical evidence and I am proud to be the ONLY Instructors in our area who offer these great programs.

I still encourage the NRA programs to all my students who are wanting that “follow along the book type of learning” in a classroom and shooting range environment. I see the value in the NRA Programs as a great foundation to one’s skill development and I encourage ongoing learning of realistic force on force skills.

We are proud to offer a dynamic training program from the NRA Courses and way beyond. If you are looking for the NRA Classes, please look at the “Training Calendar” on this site to find more of the upcoming NRA Classes.

Thank You for taking the time to read the NRA Training Blog here.

Yesterday I sent an article about Avoidance. Today, let’s talk about Awareness.

Awareness can certainly have value, so we say, YES, be aware of your surroundings. However the fallacy that you can be aware of everything 100% of the time is just that, a fallacy.
The more you are aware of one thing, the less you are of others.
We can use Awareness to help us process more information to respond more efficiently or to avoid a situation all together. We primarily use Awareness as a deterrent. The term “Situational Awareness” is so over used or mis-used or even worse thinking that a color code chart is somehow going to magically be all you need to keep you safe.

In addition to being aware, you should take realistic defense training for the time you were not aware, caught off guard and Ambushed?

Come and learn “Counter Ambush Methodology” in our Fundamentals of Conceal Carry and Fundamentals of Home Defense courses March 4th-5th.
