Trained by someone who did this for a living

Amy Lucas, founder of Steel and Stilettos Firearm Training

Amy Lucas

Founder, USCCA Training Counselor and Certified Firearms Instructor

Amy spent 20 years in law enforcement, including time as a field training officer, SWAT team leader and firearms instructor for the State of Michigan. Today she teaches CPL and handgun classes built around one on one coaching, and she still works armed protection when she is not on the range.

She founded Steel and Stilettos to give women and first-time shooters a place to learn from someone who has carried a gun professionally her whole career.
