About Us
As of 2020 we will be in our 10th year in business here at Fox Firearms. We want to personally thank the 6000+ students and many thousands of customers that we have had the pleasure to meet and help during that period of time. Thanks for the opportunity to serve all of you. Having recently turned 65 Chuck is now looking to retire and has started an inventory liquidation sale in the gun shop. P.s. If you have not been a customer of ours, now would be a great time to become one.
Chuck Cabaniss, owner of Fox Firearms Sales & Training Services has always had a passion for firearms. He has been providing safety and marksmanship training for youth as young as the age of five up to senior citizen for over 30 years. He has also collected firearms and been shooting since he was old enough to own guns. Chuck has done firearms competitions including Police Pistol Combat and Cowboy Action Shooting with over 75 trophies and a Maine State Championship to his credit.
Chuck was the first student at Unity College working for campus security to be sworn in as a law enforcement officer and authorized to carry a firearm. This occurred when he came to Maine back in 1976 to attend school there. He received training as a firearms instructor at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy during the 1980’s while serving as a law enforcement officer in Bar Harbor and then in Winslow. While he was a sworn officer he helped as an assistant instructor for the reserve officer training schools at the academy during the 16 or so years he served full and part time.
He also has NRA Certified Instructor and Utah Certified Instructor ratings in his credentials and is dedicated to helping people learn firearms safety and marksmanship so they can better protect themselves and their families. The Utah concealed weapons permit can be used for concealed carry in in 2/3 of the country!
Chuck is also active in his community and church, plus is a prolific recruiter for the NRA having signed up over 1000 new members in the last 7 years.

Nice guy, i drove 80min away for a hard to find pistol that he had instock only to get delayed by the feds. Was no problem at all, he held the firearm after I prepaid and 5 days later I picked it up. Was allot of driving, but very honest and straight forward. Thanks!
