I'm grateful to have had several classes at Gunsite and to be a long time member of The Well Armed Woman that shoots once a month at Gunsite. Mindset is everything when protecting yourself. That couldn't have been more clear very early this morning...
This class is not scheduled through Gunsite Academy.
