Sparrow Defense

On April 25th, 2026 we held a very successful Ladies Only course. The turnout was amazing and everyone seems to have enjoyed it! Thank you Tiffanie Love for setting everything in motion!

Big shoutout to the people who came out and helped me keep things moving, specifically:
SBG Athens - Girls in Gis all-stars Coach Katrina and Melody who came out and showed the ladies some unarmed defensive skills.
My favorite stepsons Cody and Jeremy, along with Hunter, John, and other John of the Gun Club staff, who ran some shoot house instruction and helped maintain range safety for me.
And the ever-reliable Ben Ewing, who is a value add to anything he instructs.

Course material covered:
- GA law and use of force
- Weapon cleaning and maintenance
- BJJ concepts for unarmed defense
- Basic shoot house tactics for home defense
- Range time with semi-auto pistols, revolvers, and the AR-15

We will look to hold another Ladies Class on this format later in the year.

Due to safety concerns, the Sig 320 pistol in any variant will not be allowed on the range or in any training conducted through Sparrow Defense at any venue.

Should you have a conflict or concern with this policy, please contact us directly. You won't change our minds, but maybe we can find you a pistol that doesn't experience "unassisted firing" issues.

First open enrollment course of the year just dropped on April 13th!

Defensive Pistol I is our entry-level concealed carry pistol course. Perfect for those who are familiar with fi****ms and looking to start working from the holster.

We'll cover marksmanship and the fundamentals, and then we'll move on to applying those to solving problems in real time.

Defensive Pistol I - Sparrow Defense This one day course focuses on the use of a pistol deployed from concealment. Prior to attending Defensive Handgun I, students should be able to demonstrate safe handling and use of a firearm. Students should already possess their own handgun and a holster. Students should expect to shoot up to 500
