WHY I TRAIN | Amy's Story
One of the things we enjoy most at Justified Defensive Concepts is hearing the stories behind the people who show up to train. Every student has a different background, a different reason for starting, and a different goal they're working toward.
This week, we're featuring Amy's story:
"I first handled a firearm in junior high school but did not receive any structured training until my 40s. Defensive shooting training is important in order to safely, competently, and responsibly handle a firearm. I initially chose JDC based on professional referrals and have taken multiple classes -- pistol, rifle, shotgun, concealed carry -- with them over the past few years. I train with JDC because they create a safe and enjoyable environment to learn at your own pace; their instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional; they have small class sizes; and they provide great value (ex: dry fire exercises and solving malfunctions). My favorite class is defensive shotgun."
Thank you, Amy, for sharing your story and for trusting us with your training journey.
Everyone who trains has a reason. Maybe it's protecting your family. Maybe it's personal growth. Maybe it's developing skills and confidence. Whatever your reason, we'd love to hear it.
