My name is Terry Bryson. I am A native of Cashiers, NC, but I grew up in South Carolina. My 27+ years in law enforcement has been varied, to say the least. By the time I retired in 2001, I had served as a city police officer in SC, a US Border Patrol Agent in CA, a US Customs Patrol Officer in Key West, and a South Carolina State Trooper. Upon my retirement I became the supervisor of the SC Department of Public Safety's Advanced Firearms Training Unit. In addition, I served in Iraq and Afghanistan froom '03 - '05 as a security contractor. 

I am certified to teach the NC Concealed Carry Handgun classes. I am also currently certified by the NRA LEAD (Law Enforecement Activities Division).
