Pistol Packing Mamas Firearms Academy was founded by mother and military wife Elizabeth Handley. With a passion for teaching firearms education, she has instructed hundreds over 12 years of teaching private lessons and as a Chief Firearms Instructor.

By listening to students' requests, Pistol Packing Mamas Firearms Academy was established to provide ongoing training for continual skills improvement. We are now a growing community of Pistol Packing Mamas in Colorado and California. Although we promote our services to fellow mama bears and women, we welcome people of all backgrounds and genders.
