Our Mission Statement

Protect The Important’s mission is to teach the safe, responsible, and proper use of firearms. Founded by a firearm owner and instructor certified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA), Protect The Important is committed to providing the highest quality education that will enable individuals to make informed decisions for their personal safety and firearm usage.
PTI’s goal is to build a community where firearm owners are knowledgeable, skilled, and responsible. We believe that the proper attitude combined with quality training and regular practice is essential to firearms safety whether used for sport or protection.

Our Most Popular Courses

The Basic Pistol Shooting class is for all individuals regardless of previous experience. The class teaches the students how to safely handle, store, aim, shoot a handgun. The class also includes information about California laws which can be very confusing.
“The “Refuse To Be A Victim (TM)”  class was developed by the women of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in 1993 in response to women nationwide who requested information about crime prevention and personal safety. 
The next step after the Basic Pistol Shooting course is the Personal Protection in The Home course.  Students will learn and practice defensive shooting skills that may be used to defend your home.
