About Me

The Origin Story

James Dowler

While living in Massachusetts, I worked at Smith & Wesson and as an armed guard. I also worked as a Range Safety Officer in Clearwater before I started my firearm safety business in Palm Harbor, Florida.

I feel strongly that anyone who owns a gun should know how to use it safely, responsibly, and with confidence. Training and education are key to owning a gun.
