The CCW class was thorough and came with a handout with the important information and resources. I felt comfortable handling the weapons and definitely felt safe on the range in which instructions were very clear. It was a great experience and will recommend to others - thank you!
— Former CustomerBoth you and Guro Johanna provided an excellent course! It was extremely informative, structured and efficiently run. The interaction and opportunities for hands-on application were exceptional! Your emphasis on safety allowed my daughter, the ability to feel assured that she could properly operate a handgun with confidence. I will be referring both my wife and younger daughter to your course as well! Thank you again!
