About Us

Barry White — Founder

Born and raised in Charlotte, NC, I graduated from Independence High School in 1991 and have spent over 30 years in the automotive industry. But my lifelong passions have always been rooted in the outdoors, firearms, hunting, and fishing. From Boy Scouts to adulthood, the motto “Be Prepared” has guided me — and it’s the same lesson I pass on to every student I train.

Our Mission

CitiBoi is more than a business — it’s a movement. Through firearms education, outdoor recreation, and community outreach, we empower people to protect themselves, enjoy nature, and give back to their communities. Whether it’s helping citizens earn their concealed carry permit, selling trusted firearms, or mentoring youth, CitiBoi stands for preparation, responsibility, and community strength.

CitiBoi Outdoors

Built from my love of hunting, fishing, and nature, CitiBoi Outdoors promotes a lifestyle of outdoor adventure and survival skills. From camping trips to teaching preparedness, we bring people closer to the wild side of life.
