2nd Amendment Firearms Academy

Firearms training designed to teach you to use your firearm confidently and safely. We are SB2 compliant and are certified with the CA DOJ. We offer regularly scheduled firearms and CCW training, private classes, and ladies-only classes in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento areas. Firearm gun safety and shooting training courses. Our goal is to make you feel confident in handling and using a firearm.

Let’s be honest—you didn’t end up here by chance. You’re here because you’re DONE playing around. You’re done with mediocrity, with the same old training, and with being unprepared. You’re ready to LEVEL UP. You want the best, and you won’t settle for anything less. Guess what? You’re in the right place.

At 2A Firearms Academy, we don’t do halfway. We don’t do surface-level training. This is about precision, responsibility, and the confidence to own every single moment, even the ones you hope never happen. Our certified instructors are here to get you into the trenches—live-fire training, in-depth drills, and expert coaching that digs deep into your technique and pulls out your best. We turn “good” shooters into sharpshooters, and we do it with relentless focus.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned shooter, we’ll break down your weaknesses, sharpen your strengths, and push you to a level of confidence and skill you didn’t think possible. This is where you get prepared for the unexpected. This is where you stop just owning a firearm—and start mastering it.

So, what are you waiting for? The stakes are high, and the world isn’t slowing down. You’ve got two options: step up and get better or keep doing what you’ve been doing. Your call.
