Tracey was never anti-gun, but not having been raised around firearms, was uncomfortable around them well into her adulthood. Tracey didn’t shoot a pistol till around age…. well, older. Desiring to own a gun but not wanting to be an uneducated firearm owner, she signed up for a beginner’s class with her youngest daughter. Tracey’s experience in that course inspired her to want to teach others. Tracey went on to become a certified instructor to pursue her fresh passion for teaching students who are entirely new to firearms. In addition to continuing in the firearms industry as an instructor and range staffer, Tracey started a ladies’ firearm group to support women firearm owners through regular meetings and range sessions. Tracey is a huge supporter of the 2nd amendment! If you’re not, then give her a chance to change your mind. Tracey and her husband of 36 years live in Northwest Alabama. She’s the mother of 3 and grandmother to 3. NRA Certified in Basic Pistol, NRA Certified Range Safety Officer & Tennessee Certified Handgun Instructor.
