Every quote below is from an actual AFA student. No paid endorsements. Just women who finally got the training they deserved.
"Thank you for creating such an amazing place for women to feel empowered, supported, independent but most of all educated. That is the foundation of how any person can grow and be kind. I enjoyed my first ever online conceal carry class hosted by you and taught by Hannah earlier this week. It felt safe, companionable, sophisticated and even spicey with Hannah showing off all her special pieces and holsters and grips. I can't wait to continue this journey!"
— Mindy R.
"I have been carrying for a while, but I love that AFA focuses on the challenges that women face. Guns are designed with men in mind, and we, as women, have to overcome the obstacles that creates. Also, as typically smaller individuals, we need to learn how to protect ourselves against typically larger individuals. I want to feel more empowered as a woman, and I love that AFA focuses on women."
— Amanda R.
"I loved that this class didn't make me feel stupid. I have quite a number of male friends who assume I know everything because I bought a gun! So there are questions that I am embarrassed to ask them. Having a place where everyone understands that I have never held a gun until a year ago and I am learning how to use it safely is so important."
— Nancy N.
"Much of the firearms world is centered on men. AFA focuses on women. We are underserved by the self defense community. Most classes are taught by men whose way of communicating is very different from women. I felt heard, understood, and respected."
— Julie S.
"I have taken the NRA classes taught by men and gleaned so much more from AFA training! The difference in how the material is presented, the patience with questions, and the practical focus on how women actually carry — it's all different, and all better."
— Helen G.
"I enjoyed getting the information from a female perspective. All of my instructors in the past have been men. They don't communicate the same way. The AFA instructors explain things in a way that finally makes sense to me."
— Marilyn M.
"I got over the fear of handling a gun! I gained knowledge of how it works and also, the confidence to handle it. For a woman my age to finally feel capable of protecting herself — this is life-changing. Thank you for making this accessible."
— Barbara O.
"I've been a student for a few months and the training has been worth the price many times over. The legal information alone — knowing what to do and NOT do after a defensive encounter — is something I never would have learned from my range time or from my husband."
— Patricia C.
"Loved it. She talked to me like I'm a human — not a dummy. Every other firearms class I've taken, the instructor assumed I was either a beginner who couldn't learn, or an expert who shouldn't be there. AFA treats me like an intelligent woman who is serious about her own safety."
— Barbara M.
"Best training ever. This was very inclusive. It recognized that there are many women who are not young or athletic. I'm 67, I have arthritis in my hands, and I still want to defend myself. Nobody else has ever addressed women like me. Until now."
— Julie S.
"I love that AFA is incredibly informative and has no egos, no arrogance, no overly confident or pushy sales pitch. Just real information delivered by women who clearly care whether I succeed. That is incredibly rare in this industry."
— Misty M.
"Finding AFA was one of the best parts of my firearms journey! I went from terrified of my own gun to actually carrying it every day. The training here is the reason. I wish every woman who owns a firearm could find this program."
— Violet G.
"I appreciate the fact that I feel safe in the learning environment and free to ask questions without condescending answers. I have asked questions at my local range that got me laughed at. Here, every question is treated like it matters. Because it does."
— Becky B.
"Loved that it was practical, plain talk and down to earth but was not 'talking down' to us. The instructors respect my intelligence while still teaching me things I genuinely didn't know. That's a hard balance to strike, and AFA nails it."
— Michelle S.
"I love the way this information is delivered. Just good information, excellent delivery, and a complete absence of the macho posturing you get from most firearms instructors. As a woman over 50 coming to this later in life, I needed exactly this kind of teaching."
— Misty R.
