    • If you are going to carry a firearm you have to commit to the process. You have a moral and ethical obligation to train consistently and appropriately.
.
.
You can't only take a class that last a couple hours and expect that to save your life years down the road. Life goes on, we get lazy, we slack on dry fire at night, life happens.
.
.
But you know who doesn't care if life happens and we get lazy? Bad guys. Bad guys don't care if we trained. Bad guys don't care how much time we did or did not have. Bad guys just want something that we have. That could be our purse, our vehicle, our kids, or our lives.
.
.
So commit to the process. Honor the commitment. Train consistently, train well, hone your skills, don't forsake taking a class by someone who knows more than you that can point out where you're slipping.

    • Hey! It's been a little while since I've done an introduction and wanted to tell you guys a little bit about me.

My name is Nila and I started Mil-spec Mom back in 2014. .
.

When my husband was deployed I realized that I was the protector of the household. I also realized that I was not trained on how to do that.💏💑 .
.
So I started taking classes and looking for an instructor that could teach me how do you concealed carry as a mother and protect myself and my children. While I found instructors that could teach me basic tactics, I could not find an instructor that could teach me how to navigate the world of concealed carry and self-defense with my kids present. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🤰 I had questions like "where do I carry my gun if I'm also carrying the child", "how do I shoot a bad guy if I've got a child on my hip", "how do i have a self-defense mindset?", and other considerations that us parents think about when we carry. 👶 .
.
🧐🤓The lack of answers to those questions sent me on a journey of becoming instructor that I wish I'd had. .
.
I am now a firearms and tactics instructor that focuses on self-defense as parents and self-defense of the family unit; with my husband. I've had the privilege of taking hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of training from law enforcement, Navy SEALs, military personnel, private contractors, (including Chris Costa from @costaludus -my favorite instructor) and pretty much anybody that I could get my hands on. Every time I take a course, I go in wondering how can I translate all the Tactical ninja operator information to the everyday parent who is going through life, trying to keep their family safe.
