Who Is The Glock Girl?

The Superhero of Safety... maybe,
a woman with passion... YES!

My name is Julianna Crowder and I am a certified instructor for The WARRIOR in Every Woman (R), Concealed Handgun License Instructor for the state of Texas, Texas Hunters Education Instructor and a Certified Instructor with the NRA.  I was raised around firearms, but it wasn't until 2004 that I developed an interest in competitive sport shooting, hunting and self defense.  I am still on the path to becoming a hunter, but my passion for self defense and education in respect to proper handling and use of firearms is in full gear!

In the spring of 2006, my husband John insisted that I get my concealed handgun license.  I was less than impressed with the class I received.  I decided that we could do it better, so I enrolled John for the CHL instructors course a few months later.  John is the ultimate gun guy, and it made sense to me that with his experience, knowledge and ability to teach others that we had a great business opportunity with him as the instructor and I as the office manger.  After 6 months of offering CHL classes, John encouraged me to become a CHL instructor so we could team teach our classes which brings perspectives from both male and female, and how that relates to self defense, so summer of 2007 I joined the ranks!  Late 2009 I began teaching on my own when John was not available to teach with me.  In the spring of 2010 at a networking function someone asked me what kind of gun do I carry and I answered "Glock", and that day "The Glock Girl" was born!
What began as a business opportunity has become a quest!  Before I took my first concealed handgun license class I didn't worry too much about my personal safety, never thought anything bad would ever happen to me and if it did there would be a "Superhero" to save me.  Fortunately nothing bad has happened to me, and I have become my own "Superhero" by taking an active role in my personal safety which has improved my odds of not being the    
target of a random violent crime.
My goal is to inspire other citizens to take control of their personal safety .  It is not just about getting a license to carry a gun, it is about knowing how to safety use the firearms and for the appropriate reasons.  Through my own process of learning these skills, I understand that having a gun is only one tool in my tool box.  I also incorporate other methods of self defense into my plan, and have started a new path to become proficient with my knife, pepper spray and hand to hand techniques.  I have been asked if I am paranoid, my answer is no. I am just taking control of my personal safety.  No one else can do that for me, I have to be able to survive if that horrible moment ever occurs where I am the target of a crime.  Having these skills will help me.

Tactical Journal- 3rd Quarter 2011 (not available online yet)
"I have attended 3 CHL classes in the past and I am a Master Rifle Instructor, US Army Distinguished Rifleman, and National Rifle Coach/Competitor.  So I know what I am talking about when I say the parts of your presentation I observed were, by far, the most professional I have seen for CHL training--good job!"
