About OnPoint Personal Defense

Angela Humphries is the joint founder of OnPoint Personal Defense, a South Carolina-based company offering firearms and personal safety training with a strong emphasis on real-world preparedness. She co-founded the business with her husband, Dale, blending professional instruction with a deeply personal mission: to equip everyday people with the mindset, tools, and confidence to protect themselves and those they love.

Originally from England, Angela’s journey into personal defense began in 2019, following the death of her father. That loss brought to the surface a painful family history—her grandfather’s murder, her father’s unresolved trauma, and the long-lasting ripple effects of violence left unanswered. In the midst of that grief, Angela realized she no longer wanted to rely on chance or others to feel safe. She purchased her first firearm and began training.

But the path wasn’t easy. As someone with no pistol experience, she found herself overwhelmed and intimidated by traditional firearms training environments. After a particularly harsh experience where she was yelled at and nearly walked away from shooting altogether, she chose to return—not because she had to, but because she refused to quit. That grit became a turning point.

Angela went on to take numerous courses and certifications, investing hundreds of hours into becoming both a skilled shooter and a compassionate, clear instructor. Today, she trains others the way she wishes someone had trained her—especially those who are new, uncertain, or nervous. She is a firm believer that a firearm is not always the answer, and she teaches alternative tools like pepper spray, Image-Based Decision Drills, and situational awareness, alongside emergency medical training.

Her approach is practical, no-nonsense, and deeply human. She brings calm to chaos and clarity to confusion—and believes the ultimate goal is not to win a fight, but to avoid one altogether.

Angela is also a former British Army member and an EMT in Dorchester County, SC. She continues her own training constantly and believes instructors should always be students first.
