Frequently Asked Questions

What courses are taught by LDGA? Liberty Defense Group Academy or LDGA, currently teaches Basic, Intermediate, and Advance Firearms to both public and private entities. 

I have taken other training classes, why should I take yours? While the basics of firearms insruction may be similar, we strive to set ourselves apart from other companies and instrcutors with this: No two students are the same. We offer more one-on-one instruction, and tailor our styles of instruction to meet your needs. 

WHY DO YOU COST MORE THAN OTHER PLACES? We pride ourselves in training to better standards than other companies.

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS? Yes, we offer discounts to Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders. Group Discounts are available.

DO YOU TEACH CONCEALED CARRY? No. Currently we do not have plans to teach CCW. We  believe in teaching repetition, responsibility, and respect with and for the firearm. We would much rather someone be comfortable with their weapon long before they go thru a CCW course. From what we have seen in our experience, CCW instructors Relay information, rather than Teach someone how to use the weapon.
