About Prime Defense
A father and son who teach with two instructors in the room
Shawn Crowl and Jerry Crowl
Owners, USCCA certified instructors, Macomb County
Shawn and Jerry Crowl run Prime Defense Firearms Training out of Macomb County and teach across Metro Detroit. Both are USCCA certified for Basic Pistol, Home Defense Fundamentals and Concealed Carry, and both hold First Aid, CPR and AED certification along with oxygen administration training.
Jerry served as a Naval Aviation Ordnanceman, spent thirteen years as a volunteer firefighter with paramedic certification, twelve years in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and fourteen years as a reserve deputy sheriff in the marine division. He is also an NRA Range Safety Officer. Shawn grew up around hunting and shooting and had his own CPL at twenty one.
Their classes run with more than one instructor in the classroom and on the line, which means shorter waits for coaching and a second set of eyes on the range.
To ask about a Prime Defense class, call us at (248) 662-5744.

Common questions
Questions students ask
Is this class state approved?
Yes. Every class listed here meets the Michigan CPL training requirements, and your certificate is valid for your application at the county clerk.
Do I need any experience?
No. Beginners are welcome and many students are shooting for the first time. You will be coached at your own pace, and questions are welcome at any point in the day.
How long does the class take?
One day. You cover the classroom material and the live fire range session in the same session.
Do I need my own gun?
Not usually. Most ranges rent a pistol and sell ammunition for the range portion. Check the class listing for details, or call us at (248) 662-5744 before you book.
What should I bring?
A valid state ID, closed-toe shoes, a pen and a good attitude. Bring your own pistol and ammunition if you have them, and check your class listing in case that class handles ammunition differently.
Where does Prime Defense teach?
Prime Defense is based in Macomb County and serves the Metro Detroit area. There are no Prime Defense dates on this site at the moment, so call (248) 662-5744 to ask what is coming up.
