Lynn Givens

Lynn started out as what we call a “motivated student”. Earlier in her life she was stalked and threatened by a mentally ill person who made a number of credible death threats against Lynn and others, including her son. She began taking self-defense shooting courses and was immediately hooked. Within seven months she became a TN State Certified Instructor, going on to attend several hundred hours of training over the next few years.

Because of her experiences with a stalker, Lynn has worked extensively with women facing similar problems, and she was recognized for this work with a plaque from the local Attorney General’s office. Lynn was featured on the cover of Concealed Carry Magazine and written about in At Home Tennessee magazine.

Lynn is the lead instructor for our Ladies Training Program, and she assists with various other courses, including advanced classes conducted on the road all over the United States.
