Carla McCoy
NRA & USCCA Firearms Instructor
Susan Hutchcraft has been a full-time Law Enforcement Officer in Kansas for over 17 years, and spent 8 years also working as a Firefighter & Emergency Medical Responder in both Public Safety and Volunteer positions. During her career she specialized in the Investigation of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence & Juvenile Crime, as a Detective and School Resource Officer. Her commitment to community safety & training throughout the years led to opportunities to teach Personal Safety, Security & Emergency Medical skills within the Police Department, School Districts, and as a Cub Scout Leader.
Susan founded Not A Victim Firearms Training in early 2016 in order to provide practical, evidence-based training in a comfortable environment for anyone of any skill level. She has quickly become one of the Nation’s Leading Female Firearms Instructors, personally training over 7,000 students and over 350 new Instructors in the last few years while volunteering with several National Organizations to offer additional training opportunities. Her personal & professional life experience, extensive continued education, understanding of multidisciplinary safety concepts, and commitment to the best interest of her students provide a truly unique training experience.
