"I have confirmed with our Handgun Unit that Mr. Yeager is not a Department of Safety and Homeland Security certified handgun instructor and Tactical Response is not a department certified school." Qualls said in

Though Yeager lists himself as a "firearms instructor." Qualls told TPM he is not certified by the deparlment and that there is no such certification offered.

A Tactical Response employee who picked up the phone at the company's Camden. Tenn. headquarters told TPM the company was not responding to questions about Yeager and hung up after being pressed on the certifications.
Here's a screengrab of the relevant porlion the long list of certifrcations on Yeager's website:
