Hello

My name is Langer. I am the owner and instructor here at Trusted Firearms Training. My father was the first to teach me about firearms safety and I started shooting rifles at the age of five. ​As a teenager and young adult I studied martial arts, including Shotokan karate, Chin Na, and Tai Chi. I have been formally trained by retired members of the military, retired law enforcement officers, and an instructor for SWAT teams. In 1995 I was doing entertainment security in Nashville, TN for country artists, as well as venue security and personal protection (bodyguard) work. This culminated with me being in charge of the backstage security at the CMA Awards at the Grand Ol' Opry in 1995 and 1996.

 

I started shooting pistols in 2008. In 2014 I was certified as an NRA Basic Pistol Instructor for the first time. I started teaching private lessons as well as concealed carry courses for Minnesota and Wisconsin. After eleven years I am certified as an NRA Basic Pistol instructor, including the Blended, Distance, and Instructor led only classes, Gun Safety Seminar, FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation, Pistol Marksmanship Simulator Training, and Women on Target Instructional Shooting Clinic; as well as also  being certified as an NRA Range Safety Officer, by the Massad Ayoob Group in Defensive Handgun, and in Church Safety by the USCCA. 

I love to learn and I love to help others learn. Whether you are new to firearms, new to carrying concealed, or are looking to improve your shooting skills, I would be more than happy to help!
