Empowering Women Through Firearm Training: The Mission of Alpha Female Tactical

At Protect Her Path, we believe that every woman deserves the knowledge and confidence to protect herself effectively. In a world where personal safety is paramount, finding the right resources and training can be challenging, especially in a male-dominated field like firearms. The story of Katrina Cain and her initiative, Alpha Female Tactical, in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, resonates deeply with our mission. By creating a safe and supportive environment for women to learn about gun safety and self-defense, Cain is empowering women to take control of their own safety. Her dedication to proper training and understanding of the unique challenges women face is exactly the kind of leadership that can make a real difference in our communities.

In DeFuniak Springs, Florida, firearms are prevalent, but not everyone is familiar with how to use them safely. For women, finding a comfortable place to learn about firearms can be especially difficult. Katrina Cain, owner of Alpha Female Tactical, has recognized this need and offers specialized courses on a private range at Bullets and Bones in DeFuniak Springs.

Cain’s classes focus on teaching women about gun safety and self-defense in an environment tailored to their needs. “We wanted to create a space where women could learn comfortably because the firearms industry is so male-dominated,” she explained.

Her motivation to start these classes stems from her own experience. After obtaining her concealed carry license, Cain realized she had not been adequately trained in handling a firearm. “When I got my permit, all I had to do was fire a single bullet, and that was it. My husband and I knew that more training was necessary for women to feel truly comfortable with firearms, so we launched Alpha Female Tactical in October 2020.”

Beyond the shooting range, Cain’s commitment to safety is informed by her role as a deputy with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. “I’ve seen the effects of domestic violence and crime, not just locally but globally. It’s crucial that women feel empowered and confident in their ability to protect themselves and their loved ones.”

The courses at Alpha Female Tactical are designed to build confidence in women from all backgrounds. “We especially want to support women who may have experienced trauma or have had negative encounters with firearms or domestic violence. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for them to learn self-defense.”

Alpha Female Tactical offers a range of classes, from beginner courses for those new to firearms to advanced tactical training. “We cover everything from concealed carry and self-defense to hand-to-hand combat, pepper spray, non-lethal options, and comprehensive firearms training,” Cain said.

She stressed the importance of proper training for anyone carrying a firearm. “Carrying a gun without knowing how to use it properly doesn’t help anyone.”

In today’s world, where personal safety is becoming increasingly important, Cain and her team at Alpha Female Tactical are working hard to ensure women feel empowered and capable of defending themselves.
