Choose peace before your piece
Terry Claiborne here, unlike others, my experience and expertise in firearms is unrelated to my military service and have no law enforcement experience other than having them as students. I have spent decades in the defense industry as a problem solver and action plan specialist. That’s right, I’m just like you in that sense as an everyday person. My curiosity in firearms came connected to a loved one being murdered by a violent predator using a firearm. I lost another in what I only know to have been a shooting accident. I had a healthy respect for firearms, yet a burning desire to know more, which prompted me to take formal lessons and found that I had the knack for shooting. I quickly became a sharpshooter then reached expert level.
After hearing countless stories about predators taking advantage of the weak and innocent, I decided to become an instructor and pass on what I’ve learned to other, every day, law abiding citizens like myself…YOU! Since 2019 I’ve taught law enforcement, prior military, medical professionals, business owners, and people just like you learn to shoot proficiently, accurately, and feel empowered to protect themselves, their families, and other innocent people. I also understand that firearms aren’t for everyone, and therefore, teach other means of self-defense and situational awareness in order to avoid the predators altogether. When that’s not possible, you’ll know how to defend yourself by “Anymeans”

TESTIMONIALS
Terry at Predator Defense Systems is the ultimate professional. I had handgun training with him several times, and when I first started, I was honestly afraid to even pick up the gun. However, Terry was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Within the first 30 minutes, my confidence grew, and I felt more at ease. He broke everything down in a way that made it easy to understand, ensuring that I not only felt comfortable handling the firearm but also understood the importance of safety.
By the end of my training, I wasn’t just more skilled—I was empowered. I found myself asking questions about purchasing a firearm to protect both my home and my business. Terry’s expertise in safety, proper handling, and situational awareness is unmatched. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, thorough, and confidence-boosting firearm training.

I recently had the pleasure of training with Terry Claiborne, and the experience was outstanding. He demonstrated incredible knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine passion for firearm safety and education.

Ahmad Williams / Computer Science Professional
Terry is an excellent instructor. He's extremely knowledgeable ,safe, considerate and professional. Since I only held a gun several times in my life, but didn't know the fundamentals of handling a gun and being an actual gun owner. I wanted to understand them better, get comfortable with them enough that if I had to......I could protect myself. I wanted to be able to have conversations with people regarding guns - since most either claim to not like guns, or adhere to the misinformation out there regarding guns. Especially being exposed to the media and the madness. Terry has given me the knowledge needed to be a gun owner.
