About Firearm Mentor

Many renewal students cannot remember their initial certification instructor or company.  We're not just trying to deliver a one-time certification class.  We care about our customers' long term safety and education, and we give the tools to support continuing education (YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, Newsletter) to support that.  We make deep, long-lasting connections.  Once you take a class from us, we have a relationship for life.  Immerse yourself in the world of the #FirearmMentor.  Please visit www.FirearmMentor.com for a list of classes.

Morris Ehrenberg was a Secret Service Agent during World War I, and participated in investigation of persons accused of being Communists during the "Red Scare."  He passed on his firearms training to his grandson, Larry, who passed on these methods to his son, Marcus Melnick, our primary trainer, in 1980.  Since then, Marcus has worked in Law Enforcement and Security, and has added modern safety tactics to the foundation that Agent Ehrenberg laid.
