About The Owner
Why WE EXIST
My name is Desstoni Johnson, owner of FAB Firearms Academy, a firearms instruction school in Central Arkansas founded with women in mind.
As a survivor of random gun violence and with first-hand knowledge of how off-putting the firearms industry can be for women, I birthed FAB Firearms Academy to provide a relatable, safe and supportive environment for women to learn practical skills to defend themselves in real-life situations. We aim to teach techniques that are easy to remember and apply, empowering women to exercise their rights and feel confident in their ability to protect themselves and their loved ones if ever necessary.
