About

Thank you for your support this past year!  The remaining women’s classes are full and I will not be adding any additional ones before the holidays since I use an outdoor range and the weather will be turning cold soon.  Check back next spring when I will be scheduling more classes as soon as the weather turns warm.

I have, however, scheduled a Utah Concealed Carry class for December 7 (indoor only). Go to the date and you can purchase a spot in the class.  Sign up now before it fills up!

ABOUT DEBRA JACKSON

I began shooting ten years ago when I went with some friends and discovered my “passion.” I joined The Well-Armed Woman (now Armed Women of America) and began taking classes to learn all I could about the sport. I love shooting and want to help women and youth learn to become experienced, educated shooters.

I currently teach classes in beginning and advanced firearms training, Utah CFP, and USCCA CFP and Home Defense, as well as individual and youth classes in firearm usage and safety. I am a certified NRA Pistol Instructor, an NRA Range Safety Officer, an Armed Woman of America certified instructor, a Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Instructor and a certified USCCA. I am also a firearms media consultant.

Debby is an absolutely wonderful instructor! I learned a great deal in my beginning handgun class. Then to go and be able to practice at the shooting range! I had so much fun! The women in my class were awesome as well. I highly recommend Smoking Gun Firearms Training!

Debby was amazing! Very, very patient with me and didn't treat me like I was stupid. I had a blast in the class and shooting range. Can't wait to get good enough to take her other classes. Very informative and fun to learn from her. Perfect environment and teacher for a beginner. Glad I found her online.

Debby is a great instructor. She makes you feel comfortable to ask questions, feel more confident in being around a gun, and was incredibly generous with her time and offers for continued support for those who take her class. I hope to take more classes with her in the future. Thanks Debby!

Debra is amazing and her class is wonderful. It’s hard to get in because she’s just that popular but so worth the wait. I wasn’t a complete novice to guns but I was still nervous. Her informative course and personalized experience made a huge difference. I feel more confident so that I too can be a comfortable, experienced, and aware firearm user. She gave great tips I hadn’t heard before and confirmed others. If you want more than just a concealed carry class, Debra is your woman. Stop delaying. Sign up today.
