About Us
Why WE EXIST
My name is Desstoni Johnson, owner of FAB Firearms Academy, a firearms instruction company in Central Arkansas founded with women in mind.
I founded FAB Firearms Academy because I saw a need within the community for more inviting, unbiased and relatable firearms training for women. As a woman, I know first-hand how off-putting the industry can be for us and I wanted to create a safe space and judgement-free zone for women to learn, practice, and continually expand their firearms knowledge.
Day-by-day, I hope to introduce more women and other long-underrepresented groups in gun culture to responsible, legal gun ownership, safe usage, and skilled marksmanship. FAB Firearms Academy offers basic and enhanced concealed carry licensing classes, private firearms lessons, kid's safety training, and more.
