NSP is a family owned business with the ultimate goal of promoting firearm skills and knowledge to train safe and responsible gun owners in our community
NSP is built on a foundation of education, training, and experience
NSP strives to make pistol and the CA CCW permit training process as convenient and effective as possible for new and experienced gun owners. NSP maintains specific instructor to student ratios and offers various hand’s-on course options. With training ranging from the Basics of Pistol Shooting to NRA and USCCA CCW courses, NSP wants to provide gun owners with options to continue their education and training. In addition, NSP also offers NRA basic rifle courses to introduce safe handling skills and fundamentals. These courses provide an opportunity for a parent or guardian to accompany an interested youth through the learning program. A great experience for both participants!
Whether you have never held a firearm, or you have been a concealed carry permit holder for multiple years, courses are designed so each participant takes away valuable and timely information and builds a solid foundation of responsible gun ownership. NSP is committed to improving the safety of firearm activities in our community, and to being more than a “check the box” training experience.
