Minnesota Association of Defensive Firearm Instructors

When you take a carry class from a MADFI-certified instructor, you can rest assured that you are receiving top quality instruction from a highly-trained professional.

Our instructors average well over 40 hours of firearm instruction-specific training, not just in the mechanical, legal and tactical aspects of self defense, but in the art and the craft of teaching. All of our instructors hold, at a minimum, current certifications from the National Rifle Association, a law enforcement training organization, or equivalent.

We train our instructors in the specifics of Minnesota law, observe their classes, provide feedback on their teaching, and provide them with the tools and resources to share their knowledge with their students and other quality instructors.

This page will always contain the most up-to-date list of MADFI certified instructors, and is the definitive list of MADFI-certified instructors.
