IFT believes that everyone, who so desires, is properly prepared to protect themselves. With that in mind, our team of dedicated individuals is eager to assist members of the surrounding communities. Our core drive in all of our courses surrounds safety. Safety drives responsible gun ownership from the day of purchase to the day the first bullet is fired. We especially appeal to first-time gun users or owners. For females, we provide a patient and nurturing environment where a woman can go from being scared of a pistol to loading and firing it with confidence. Debbie Duran is an NRA Certified pistol instructor and Certified handgun instructor with the State of Maryland.
