Learn how to protect yourself.

Women are increasingly concerned about their own personal safety and want to learn more about personal self-defense. Firearms, along with proper training, empower women with a sense of freedom and security.

Personal Safety Alliance provides a non-threatening environment where women can get the education and training necessary to use firearms safely and effectively to protect themselves. The goal of Jody's firearms training is to give women the skills and ability to confidently defend themselves. Women require hands-on training and shooting range practice to enhance skills and to overcome any fears or inhibitions preventing them from carrying a firearm.

Jody has the credientials and experience to educate and train women to achieve these goals. For a listing of her credentials, visit Meet Jody

It's important to remember thatYOU...are responsible for your own safety.
