About ACT Personal Defense LLC
ACT Personal Defense was born out of a desire to save innocent lives. It all started in early 2015 when a former police officer and tactical team (SWAT) leader woke up one morning to the news of another senseless murder of our young military men, not in some foreign land but close by in Chattanooga TN. On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on two military Recruiting Centers in Chattanooga, TN. When the dust settled, four Marines had died, a Navy sailor died a few days later from his wounds, and a Marine recruiter and a police officer responding to the scene were wounded. Finally the terrorist was killed by police in a gunbattle.
Out of this chaos came the idea to train as many law abiding citizens as possible in proper firearm safety and the fundamental skills needed to protect themselves, their families… Thus, ACT Personal Defense was born.
We pledge to provide a comfortable, low pressure, learning environment where everyday people can receive the proper training from an NRA Certified Instructor. A place where you learn to effectively and efficiently defend yourself, your family and home from needless attacks. Our programs use “Total Participation Involvement” (TPI) and "Discovery Learning" (hands-on learning) to minimize the use of lectures. We strive to provide a training process that will hold your interest and make learning fun. Our quality instruction provides a thorough understanding of safety, firearm handling, and will develop your marksmanship skills. After completing our course of study, you will have the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to own and safely use a firearm. Then you can truly say, as we do; “I carry to protect myself, my family and the innocent who can’t protect themselves."Will you join us in this endeavor to save lives?
