About Us

My name is Desstoni Johnson, owner of FAB Firearms Academy, a firearms instruction school in Central Arkansas founded with women in mind.

I started 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, judgement-free zone for women to learn, practice, and continually expand their firearms knowledge.

Day-by-day, we hope to introduce more women and all those who desire the education to responsible, legal gun ownership and skilled marksmanship. FAB Firearms Academy offers basic and enhanced concealed carry licensing, private firearms lessons, safety training for kids, virtual seminars and more. 

Certifications/Accolades: Gun Owners of America Arkansas Empowered 2A State Coordinator, NRA Basic Pistol Instructor, NRA Chief Range Safety Officer, USCCA Range Safety Officer, Stop the Bleed Certified, Arkansas Basic & Enhanced Concealed Handgun Carry License Instructor, Tennessee Certified Handgun Instructor
