In God we trust.
Thank you for choosing Whole Armour Firearms and Security Training
I am Owner, Trish Cullum. I take great pride and honor in our family business, we offer exceptional training to best equip you with safety and skill. Our firearms specialist is skilled to train hard, work hard and teach hard; our training is well above average in comparison to competitors. I trust that anyone who takes any course will not go away unlearned if they attend with an open mind to be taught. Let me brag on our instructor a bit:
Instructor, Justin Cullum
I have listed my training history with documentation for three reasons. One, it is a visual representation of my passion and dedication to perfecting my profession. Whether it was the Electrical Trade, Martial Arts, the Secret Service, Firearms, or Emergency Medicine, I put in the necessary time and effort to excel at my craft to be able to then instruct others in such a way that they will have the ability to do the same. Two, it separates us from many firearm instructors and security companies. Not all instruction and training are the same, though most can check a box for you; our goal is to teach gun safety, proper understanding and use of a firearm, and security training that will last long after your time with us has passed. Simply stated, my training history allows you to judge if we are a valid source of information to assist with your wants and needs. My long history of training and teaching benefits you by the abundance of information that is woven into every class we give. Lastly, we are different because of our teaching style. Whole Armour uses real-world practical examples to illustrate unchanging principles. Once a student grasps the principles, they are then able to identify and correct their own shooting and tactical errors. They are now capable of applying those principles to different weapon systems, weapon configurations, and security-related scenarios.
