Our Mission

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..." -George Washington, 1790

Our mission is to develop the skills and mindset required for individuals to confidently protect themselves, their loved-ones, and others in our community both from physical and intellectual danger. Our nation was founded by individuals carving out a new world fighting for their lives and community; today our society encourages individuals to be absorbed by a societal directed lifestyle, which suppresses independence, freedom, and the fighter mindset. We are resolved to change the narrative and instill self-reliance and a passion for freedom and truth. Society speaks of peace through compliance and compromise, but this is a fallacy. If it were factual, then there would be nothing worth fighting for, but today more than ever, we must fight for what we believe.

As Douglas MacArthur said, "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." The fighter mindset is not only for war, but equips individuals for the intellectual battle of peace that always foreshadows war. The intellectual battlefield is littered with truth besieged by deception; this is where we must fight first. The greater the span of time before action is taken, the greater the intensity of the response must be. When that time comes, we must act with overwhelming violence to subdue the enemy that seeks to destroy our freedoms and take our very lives. Now is the time to prepare for that eventuality through the acquisition of skills, training, and knowledge.

McCall Tactical was founded on these principles, and seeks to provide the highest quality training to develop a community of fighters who can adaptly navigate today's battlefield and be ready should evil come lurking in the night or parade down the streets in broad daylight. Play hard, work hard, and always do the right thing.

“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…” -Richard Henry Lee
