ALWAYS TRAINING.... NEVER TRAINED!
About Us
Ernie Ramirez
Assistant Instructor
CA DOJ Certified Firearms Instructor
I was born and raised in Merced, CA and have lived in this area my whole life. My first firearms experience came from my Father taking me to shoot at the age of 5. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked and continue to be a “Student of the Gun”. Having this firearms experience lead me to becoming a cadet with the California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2002, where I worked for approximately 11 years. I felt the need to expand on myself and wanted to start teaching and helping others on the outside. I began working at a local firearms dealer where I became interested in assembling and repairing firearms. I also began teaching for the California Department of Fish & Game as a Hunter Safety Instructor.
I truly enjoy all aspects of firearms instruction; however my passion is the tactical side of firearms and tactics.
