DFW Gun Range & Training Center operates as a firearms retailer and training facility based in Dallas, Texas. It began in September 1995 when a local businessman and two Dallas police officers formed what was then the DFW Gun Club, anticipating a market for concealed-carry training under Texas law. In 1998 the organization expanded into a nearly 20,000-square-foot facility that combined classrooms, retail space, a gym, and a shooting range, broadening its offerings to law enforcement, security firms, and private citizens. In 2000 the Personal Safety Institute was created to meet demand for personal protection services for dignitaries, executives, celebrities, and at-risk individuals, focusing on armed and non-lethal defense training as well as staffing for protection details. The operation has drawn trainers with backgrounds in law enforcement and the military to support its programs, and it emphasizes keeping equipment and training methods current to provide updated shooting, training, and retail experiences for the Dallas–MetroPlex market, serving law enforcement agencies, businesses, and security services.
