I have owned firearms since I was 8 started with a 410 shotgun in Tennessee , However I started my training 3 years ago and got my ccw and signed up through firearms training in Corona and I train monthly with them as well individual home protection shotgun training and handgun training for protection . My ccw was because I live in Southern California unfortunately , I need major protection for if I ever have to do the unthinkable and take a persons life .
