FCAT was started in 1996 by
Gary Mozingo in Mobile, Alabama. The first
students were local security officers. Because Alabama and Mississippi have
no stated codes for Security Guard training, Gary’s military credentials
were reviewed and accepted by the nation's largest security company.
Enjoying the range, shooting, and pay for such activities was all the
incentive required to try to do more of it. Prospects were approached
and the same questions kept coming up:
Is your company using NRA Law Enforcement qualified instructors?
During 2000, Gary attended and graduated from the NRA’s Law Enforcement
Instructor Course taught at Mississippi’s Law Enforcement Academy, in
Pearl, Mississippi. That helped to launch FCAT’s healthy increase in
customers.
We require $1,000,000 liability coverage for its Arms instructors.

instructor.

We want to buy our guns from the same company that trains our men.
