Have Gun Will Train Colorado………
Training Philosophy for Rick Sindeband Certified Firearms Instructor
As a lifelong shooting sports enthusiast and dedicated firearms instructor, I train individuals, families, and business owners in the safe handling and effective use of firearms for self-defense. My instruction is grounded in nationally respected gun handling techniques and updated continuously to reflect the latest changes in firearm laws—both locally in Colorado and across the country.
Many of my students come to class with no prior firearm experience. Through a combination of lecture, audiovisual materials, and hands-on practice, they leave confident in their skills and better prepared to make responsible decisions about concealed carry and personal protection. I focus on building a strong foundation—because no single class can fully prepare you for the realities of armed self-defense. Like building blocks, each layer of training matters, but the base is critical.
My background includes four years of service in the United States Air Force, followed by nearly two decades in the insurance industry as a trainer and Certified Insurance Counselor. I currently hold Double Distinguished Expert status in both Semi-Auto Pistol and Defensive Pistol 1 with the NRA.
The goal of my program is simple: to help you become a safe, competent, and confident armed citizen—one step at a time.
