Student Resources Library
At 2A Firearms Academy, we believe responsible armed citizens deserve more than a certificate. You deserve a structured learning path that builds judgment, confidence, and real-world preparedness.
To support that mission, enrolled students receive access to a select set of exclusive training e-books—each written specifically for everyday defenders, spouses, and CCW practitioners in the Bay Area.
These materials are not publicly available and may only be accessed by verified students and alumni.
