Pragmatic Defense
About
Pragmatic Defense is a firearms training firm serving the greater Las Vegas area. We offer classes for all skill levels, including concealed carry, home defense, marksmanship & sports shooting. Veteran owned and certified by the NRA and USCCA.
I enjoy working with all skill levels, but introducing brand new shooters to the world of firearms is particularly rewarding. Providing a solid foundation and instilling the principles of perpetual safety is the most important thing a firearms instructor can do.
Mark Twain said, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you'll never work a day in your life." And I've got the best job in the world.
