Who We Are

Phillip Canfield is the founder and lead instructor of 1 Shot Self Defense LLC. 1 Shot Self Defense LLC was founded out of Phillip's deep-rooted passion for firearms and his commitment to sharing that enthusiasm with others. The journey began during his college years when a classmate, a former military service member, introduced him to firearms and the importance of proper training. This encounter sparked a decade-long pursuit of knowledge, skill acquisition, and a profound understanding of safety in firearm handling.

Phillip has since become a licensed instructor in the state of North Carolina, dedicating himself to educating individuals on responsible firearm ownership and use. Among the various courses offered, concealed carry training stands out as a critical component of his curriculum. By emphasizing safety, legal requirements, and situational awareness, Phillip aims to empower his students with the skills and confidence necessary to responsibly carry a concealed firearm. Through 1 Shot Self Defense LLC, he continues to advocate for responsible firearm ownership while cultivating a community dedicated to safety and education.
