About Us
Willamette Firearms Instruction, LLC was founded by two average joes with a strong passion for firearms, firearm safety, and helping others become responsible, knowledgeable gun owners. At Willamette Firearms Instruction, we believe quality education is the foundation of safe, lawful concealed carry. Whether you are seeking concealed carry Oregon, concealed carry Portland, or multi-state training options, our goal is to provide clear, practical instruction that builds confidence and legal awareness.
We both grew up around firearms—hunting with family, learning safe firearm handling at an early age, and understanding the responsibility that comes with owning and carrying a firearm. Over time, we realized that firearms ownership is about much more than possession. It requires education, accountability, and respect for the law. That’s why Willamette Firearms Instruction, LLC is dedicated to delivering high-quality training for CHL Oregon, CHL Portland, and concealed carry Utah, helping students stay safe, confident, and legally prepared for concealed carry and home defense.

At Willamette Firearms Instruction, we have the training and credentials to support the instruction we provide. Our certifications include:

Why We Do It
The world of firearms can feel overwhelming for new gun owners, and even experienced carriers benefit from ongoing education.

Our mission is to ensure every student leaves our class with a stronger understanding of firearm safety, legal conceal carry, and how to properly protect themselves and their loved ones.
