Kurtron Bornes

Founder

My name is Kurtron Bornes, founder and owner of John Henry Tactical. I’m a certified NRA Firearms Instructor and Texas DPS License to Carry Instructor with a passion for firearm safety, education, and responsible gun ownership.

I created John Henry Tactical to be the missing link between fear and confidence. My goal is to make firearm education approachable, engaging, and comfortable for everyone, regardless of experience.

I believe confidence comes through knowledge, safety comes through training, and responsible gun ownership starts with education.

Why we teach firearm safety

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful desire: to spread knowledge throughout our community. As a certified NRA instructor with over 10 years of firearms experience, I've seen firsthand the importance of proper training. My personal connection to firearm safety stems from a deep belief that education empowers individuals, fostering a safer environment for everyone in the East Texas area.

First Aid, CPR, AED

Our instuctor is also certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. He is dedicated to promoting safety, preparedness, and responsible action in everyday life. As a pistol instructor, he provides professional firearms training focused on safety, proper handling, and skill development. The goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in both emergency and defensive situations, while emphasizing discipline, awareness, and accountability.

Our unique teaching approach

What sets John Henry Tactical apart is our commitment to hands-on and patient teaching. We understand that learning firearm safety can be intimidating, which is why we create a supportive and engaging environment. Our experienced instructors ensure that every student receives personalized attention, allowing them to grasp complex concepts with confidence and clarity.

The joy of newfound confidence

For us, the most rewarding aspect of teaching firearm safety is seeing the smiles after a person has become confident in their safety knowledge and skills. It's not just about mastering techniques; it's about building self-assurance and promoting responsible habits that last a lifetime. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
