Quotes
"Handing over final authority to a government along with the means to prohibit effective resistance to that authority, is irreversible. Once authority has been given to a government, and that government has authority over interpretation of the laws, the enactment of laws, and the use of force to coerce, the citizen is permanently subject to whatever that government or its successors choose. If a relatively good government becomes a very bad one, then if the relatively good government has removed the possibility of effective resistance, that removal is still in place for its replacements." -- Samuel C. Wheeler III, Department of Philosophy, University of Connecticut, "Arms as Insurance"

At the Shepherd School, we teach you how to be better prepared to protect yourself and your family from human predators.

We teach more than just how to shoot firearms. While handgun training is a large portion of our classes, we believe that a survival mindset is more important than a handgun. Firearms are tools, and while they are good tools, they are worthless without the will and skill to use them.

We offer classes for the Tennessee handgun carry permit, a non-resident Utah concealed firearm license course, TN armed, unarmed, baton and chemical spray security guard certifications, NRA courses in home firearm safety, basic pistol, personal protection in the home, and Refuse To Be A Victim.

Please visit our Events Page at the top of the page to find our next firearm class. In order to keep our prices and student to instructor ratio low, pre-registration is required.

Our Nashville based Tennessee handgun carry permit and armed security guard classes are held in an air conditioned indoor range.

While the majority of our classes are held in Nashville, Tennessee, we are mobile, and can tailor classes to you location. We are flexible and If there is something you need that is not listed, feel free to contact us with your requirements.

If you want to take a firearm class, but are new to guns, we are the instructors for you. We have been teaching the Tennessee handgun carry permit class for a number of years and are not one of those instructors who think everybody is a gun enthusiast. We approach gun training with a positive, low stress, enjoyable attitude and are not "Drill Instructors".

We offer substantial discounts to Law Enforcement, EMS, Fire, Dispatch, and Emergency Management, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information on pricing.

We do not sell firearms.
