We are a couple that loves to shoot...sometimes we even like shooting together.

 Hi, I’m Mark, and I’ll tell you about Amy. Please don’t hold it against her, but Amy’s an Attorney. Wait! I know, I know. But she’s not that bad. She was an FBI Agent too! So, that ups her coolness factor. She’s also a pilot!  Now she juggles between an active law practice, adventures in real estate, firearms and self defense instruction, coaching kids’ basketball and soccer, and being a wonderful mother. With all of that going on, she still finds time to be an incredible wife! She’s smart and funny (and unfortunately, she knows it!). More importantly, she knows how to shoot, how to prepare to defend yourself, and how to have fun doing it. She particularly loves to work with first time shooters and couples that come to the range and want to learn to shoot together. Recently she’s been dying to break in her “new Italian,” the Benelli M4 shotgun we just picked up. There’s never enough range time!

 Well, It’s certainly hard to follow that intro.  But it’s Amy, and let me tell you a little about Mark.   Mark is a computer geek with a lifelong passion for firearms. By day, he listens to people (including me) complain about their computers and the internet.  He is my very own IT superman. By night, he helps people stay safe and become confident with firearms on the range. He knows a ton about guns.  Although he claims to be a better shot then me, which suggests he is delusional, he is a good instructor. He has successfully taught our teenage daughters to shoot.  Anyone that can take those two drama queens and get them to love shooting has skills. In addition, he's a wonderful and supportive father and husband.

A peek into our silly life.

What FLAG Defense is all about

​Our purpose is to offer you information to help you learn about firearms in a safe and non-political environment.  Everyone has their own beliefs about guns and the Second Amendment. We assume that if you are visiting us you have an interest in guns.   For Love & Guns was site for firearms enthusiasts. Changing it to "FLAG Defense" didn't change that. Everything we do in managing this site will be done with the following understandings:

• We’ll assume that if you’ve gotten here, you are interested in firearms. It doesn’t matter if you have that interest because you use them for work, you use them for sport, or if you use them solely for protection and security. It also makes no difference if you’ve been shooting for decades, or if you’re new to it. Everyone is welcome!
• We’ll assume you agree with the 2nd Amendment, and the American freedom it protects. We will refrain from talking politics here. There is enough of that all over the Internet. (Yes, Mark will keep his mouth shut about it, even if Amy has to duct tape it that way!)
• We will be looking at the shooting industry from a “couples” perspective. Everything is more fun together! We will talk about different drills, techniques, training, equipment reviews, and more, and give you a “his and hers” take on it. The fun part for us is that we don't always agree.  We'll let you see that too.

We’re glad you’re here! Feel free to look around and let us know what you want to see and hear about!  So click the button below and we will get going!
