Mike Kneuer is a civilian firearms instructor, USPSA competitor, and founder of Suburban Protector, a firearms training company dedicated to helping suburban men and women become confident, capable, and prepared to defend themselves and their families. With over 20 years of concealed carry experience and 5 years as an instructor, Mike focuses on equipping everyday citizens with the skills and defensive mindset needed to survive the worst day of their life.

Unlike traditional target shooting instruction, Mike’s approach is built around realistic, scenario-based training designed to mimic actual encounters—not just punching paper on a range. Whether it’s drawing from concealment, moving under stress, or navigating life-or-death decisions, his training empowers students to take responsibility for their own safety and respond like professionals.

Mike is an NRA-certified instructor, USPSA competitor, and Stop the Bleed instructor.
