The National Shooting Sports Foundation says that over 16 million guns were sold in the U.S. in 2022. That tread is not slowing down in 2023.Firearms sales are still booming from its unprecedented levels in 2020 and 2021.

However, owning a firearm is a tremendous responsibility. Millions of new gun owners haven’t received proper training to handle a gun safety. To avoid needless injuries or deaths, Pilum Defense Agency LLC, has created new firearm courses and invites all new gun owners into a professional, non-intimidating environment to learn the fundamentals of firearm ownership, starting with safety to live fire.

“Due to the pandemic and the political climate, people have turned to guns for safety by the millions” Michael Mancha, Pilum Defense CEO. Michael said, “Now is the time to focus on training to ensure people stay safe.”

“People are purchasing guns with no idea how to use them.  We want to promote safe handling practices and prevent an unintentional or negligent firearm discharge. Training is the key,” said Mancha.
