Your Destination for Professional Firearms Training

Our Mission

At Derek Arms Academy, our mission is to empower responsible citizens through expert firearms education and tactical training. We believe that confidence, safety, and preparedness are built through proper instruction, hands-on experience, and a deep respect for firearm responsibility. Whether you're a first-time shooter or an experienced carrier, our goal is to provide a supportive and professional environment where every student leaves with the skills and mindset necessary to protect themselves and others.

We are committed to offering the highest standard of training in Charlotte by combining proven teaching methods, real-world scenarios, and certified instructors with decades of experience. Our curriculum is designed not only to meet legal requirements but to instill a lifelong understanding of firearm safety, situational awareness, and decision-making under pressure. At Derek Arms Academy, we don’t just train shooters — we build protectors, guardians, and confident individuals who take their role in society seriously.
