We're Your Expert In Firearms Law

Attorney and instructor Steve Sulzer developed a law of self-defense course that has become the gold standard for those who carry concealed or rely on firearms for home security and personal protection in Virginia. Working with the National Firearms Law Institute, Mr. Sulzer is preparing similar courses to explain the law of self-defense in several mid-Atlantic and southeastern states. In addition to the Virginia course, courses for the District of Columbia and Florida are completed, and work has started on courses for Georgia and Pennsylvania.
