Silva Group Consulting

Firearms Education, Training, and Services

We believe that self-defense is a God-given natural right, inalienable, and absolute.  We believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, limited government as expressed by our Constitution, and an armed society of free citizens as expressed in our Bill of Rights.  

We firmly believe there is a difference between shooting a gun and using a gun responsibly to defend yourself and others.
Because under stress, the body experiences many things that reduce our ability to function effectively by up to 70%, then adding a weapon under those cicumstances , the results can be devastating and very negatively life changing
 
The only options to overcoming a devastitaing situation is to become educated, and train, train, train !!!
 
To reinforce our curriculum we use a virtual range to ensure you receive the proper levels of training and confidence with your handguns.

Life, family, and financial well being are all invaluable. Consequently we focus our courses on safety, threat assessment, principals of avoidance, escape and defense.
