We interviewed Tom Givens at SHOT Show 2014 about firearms training. He is the owner and operator of the Rangemaster training center in Memphis, Tenn. Since Memphis is sometimes referred to as ‘Mogadishu on the Mississippi,’ demand for firearms training there is high. Tom has had 60 of his private citizen students prevail in shootouts with criminal attackers, perhaps the highest number in the industry. Rangemaster is the venue for the annual Rangemaster Tactical Conference and Polite Society Match. Tom is also a prolific author and has produced or been the talent for several firearms training DVDs.
