2A Firearms Academy, a California Department of Justice–approved provider of CCW certification and public safety education, announced record enrollment and consistent sold-out classes across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The academy trained 223 individuals in 2023 and 181 in 2024. In 2025, it has already surpassed 407 students year-to-date, marking its highest participation on record. Every CCW course since November 2024 has sold out, with over 50 applicants trained monthly through its two recurring sessions.
“Our growth reflects a strong community desire for lawful, professional self-defense training,” said Doug Kevilus, Founder and Lead Instructor. “We’re seeing people from every walk of life—nurses, judges, firefighters, defense attorneys, and first responders—seeking structured, law-focused education.”
Community Demand for Responsible Training
2A Firearms Academy’s students range from first-time gun owners to experienced marksmen, united by a shared interest in personal safety and legal compliance. The academy’s curriculum emphasizes situational awareness, de-escalation, lawful use of force, and firearm safety, helping students build confidence and judgment under stress.
Since late 2024, the academy’s daily website traffic has more than doubled, reflecting growing regional interest in qualified CCW instruction.
“Our students come ready to learn,” Kevilus added. “They understand that responsible carry starts with education—not just a certificate.”
Certified and Approved Instruction
2A Firearms Academy’s training program is certified by the California Department of Justice and approved by multiple Bay Area law enforcement agencies. The academy serves residents of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, San Francisco, Solano, and Sonoma Counties, providing both new CCW applicant and renewal courses.
Led by POST and NRA-certified trainers, and U.S. military veterans, the team ensures that every student receives practical, compliant instruction backed by years of experience.
