Who We Are

Green Mountain Defense provides professional firearms training in the beautiful green mountains of Vermont

We strive to offer professional firearms training in a SAFE and COMFORTABLE environment.  Safety is our number one priority.  Every class and every private lesson will begin with a safety briefing.  

Our unique style of coaching can be adapted to the needs of a diverse group of clients.  If you have a special need or request we will do our very best to accommodate you.  

The decision to carry a firearm or use one to defend your home is one that should be given careful consideration.  We will do our very best to educate you as our client and provide the best guidance we can.  Our solutions are not cookie cutter and the "right answer" is not universal.
