Instructors offering CPL classes

This Thread is meant not as an advertisement for any one class but as a reference for members of MGO to find an Instructor that offers classes that satisfy the state of Michigan's requirements to submit a CPL application. While there are many great instructors in Michigan that are not members of MGO, I hope this will steer more business towards MGO members.

Michigan Gun Owners does not endorse or recommend any of the instructors on this list and is not responsible for any exchange between you and any instructor. MGO only provides this information as a starting point in your search for instruction.


For instructors that want to be added to this list you must be a ****PAYING MGO MEMBER****. Please pm me with:

Your name/ business name
Contact phone and/or Email
Training Location

With my schedule please allow a few days for the list to be updated once you've sent your pm.
