ABOUT US


Hi there, my name is Kyle Thompson. I am a full-time career Firefighter/EMT in the South Texas Coastal Bend. I started Thompson Tactics (now Patriot Response) because I feel that in today's world, there are many people that are un-educated when it comes to firearms. Reasons as to why we have them, what they can be used for, and how to safely handle them. I want to help educate both parties, those who are against guns, and those that are pro-gun that just want to better their skills with their firearms. Working as a firefighter in my area, we operate alongside our local police department and we get to see a lot of the good and bad that they have to deal with. With everything that is going on in the world currently I truly believe everyone should be prepared and know how to defend themselves. 

As someone who grew up around guns, and has a strong respect for what they are capable of, my first priority in this industry is safety. 

We are teaching a variety of classes, which you will find on the "Classes" page. In case you were wondering, no, I am not a law enforcement officer or former special forces operator. Although I am a very regular shooter, I am just a proud American patriot who happens to be very passionate about helping people and educating others on how to stay safe in this crazy world we live in. Shoot us a message if you have any questions, and we'll do what we can to answer them.  Also, check us out on social media and our "Blog" page here on the site where you will find lots of good information.  Thanks for checking us out at Patriot Response!
