Paladin Group Training, LLC develops armed citizens into better shooters and tacticians who want to defend themselves in a world that is at times insecure. We train regular people from all walks of life who take responsible gun ownership to heart and who value the safety and security of themselves and their loved ones. Our training philosophy is simple: take the best of what’s taught in the training world and teach what is most relevant to the civilian defender.
