Pistol Packin' Mamas was born out of a late in life respect for firearms and the sport of shooting. As one of the few females at gun shows, shooting ranges and 2nd amendment right meet ups, I decided that educating others and having them join in this sport was a mission I was passionate about. That combined with very few local resources for gun shooting women inspired the beginnings of Pistol Packin' Mamas. As my journey progressed I discovered just how much misinformation is out in the world and am proud to have a team that helps educate both men and women about gun ownership. Early on I was fortunate to connect with the United States Conceal and Carry Association and received my Firearms Instructor Training from Michael Martin. Both of our instructors, husband John and Clayton Burkland also received their certification from Michael as well. We currently teach Intro to Guns, MN Permit to Carry, Home Defense, Street Defense as well as host Special Events that combine the training modalities. Our vision for PPM is to facilitate connections and outfit men and women in the arena of gun ownership. We will do this through special events, training, one on one relationships and of course our apparel line!
