Let’s dive into what we offer at our Fountain Inn spot and why we’re your go-to for firearms know-how.

Why Fortress Firearms Training is Your Upstate Hub

I started this company because I saw a gap in our community for real, no-nonsense firearms education. We’ve got one location—right here in Fountain Inn—and it’s where all the magic happens (except for churches, but more on that later). Our instructors, a crew of law enforcement and military vets, bring the kind of street-smart experience that’ll make you say, “Man, these guys get it.” We’re not about dull lectures; we’re about getting you confident and ready—whether it’s for personal defense, a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP), or just mastering your firearm. Here’s what’s on the menu at 285 SC-418:

Our Training Offerings

1. South Carolina CWP Course – Carry with Swagger

Want to carry concealed—or even open—in South Carolina? Our SLED-certified CWP course is the real deal. We cover the laws (don’t worry, I won’t quiz you on the fine print), teach handgun retention, and get you comfy with safe handling. It’s perfect for Greenville or Simpsonville folks who want to carry smart and legal. Small classes mean you’re not just a number—you’re getting my crew’s full attention right here in Fountain Inn.

2. Personal One-on-One Training – You, Me, and a Gun

Need something custom? Maybe you’re in Mauldin and want to perfect your stance, or in Greer and need a refresher. We offer one-on-one sessions at our Fountain Inn location, tailored to your goals. It’s like having a buddy who knows guns inside out—no group chaos, just you and us working on what matters. (And way more fun than jogging on a treadmill, I promise.)

3. Kids as Young as 10 – Little Shooters, Big Skills

Got a kiddo 10 or older? Bring ‘em to Fountain Inn! With a parent present and a waiver signed for both of you, we’ll teach them firearm safety and handling from the ground up. It’s a kick to see these young ones light up when they get it right—and you’ll be the coolest parent in Greer or Simpsonville for it.

4. Church Security Team Training – We Come to You

Here’s the only time we leave Fountain Inn: churches. If you’re part of a church security team in Greenville, Greer, or anywhere in the Upstate, we’ll travel to your site for active shooter training, site assessments, SOP development, and firearm qualifications. I’ve helped plenty of teams get ready for the unexpected—because peace of mind beats dodging bad fruitcake at the fellowship hall any day. Everything else? It’s all at our home base.

5. Real-World Skills with a Chuckle

I don’t just want you hitting targets—I want you ready for life. We focus on practical stuff like situational awareness and keeping your gun secure, all at our Fountain Inn range. It’s serious prep with a light touch—because if you’re not grinning a little while learning, I’m slacking.
