RUNNIN N GUNNIN
Firearms Training You Can Trust
Ohio-certified instructors teaching CCW licensing courses and Basic Firearms Training right here in Cleveland. Built for beginners, welcoming to everyone — especially women ready to take their safety into their own hands.
Who We Are
CLEVELAND'S FIREARMS
TRAINING EXPERTS
Runnin N Gunnin was built right here in Cleveland, Ohio with one mission: to give everyday people the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely own and carry a firearm. Whether you're brand new to shooting or looking to get your Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit, we've got you covered.
We are especially committed to empowering women. Women are disproportionately affected by gun violence while often having the least access to proper firearms education. We believe every woman deserves the knowledge and confidence to protect herself — and we've built our programs with that in mind.
Our instructors are Ohio-certified, experienced, and passionate about safety. We keep classes small so every student gets personal attention. You'll leave not just certified — but truly prepared.
MISSION
"To equip every student with the knowledge, discipline, and skills to be a responsible, confident, and safe firearm owner — on and off the range."
