Great experience all around. From the start to finish it was a turn key operation with great communication before, during, and after class. Kevin and Vince have set up safe and comfortable class room. The environment makes it easy for new and experienced shooters to feel safe. They answered all questions professionally and as detailed as we needed. For those nervous or anxious, this class is for you. Felt safe the entire time. Couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend.

I definitely enjoyed my time in this class. It wasn’t uptight or strict. The instructor was very knowledgeable and not only that was able to explain everything he was teaching in a down break so that the class would understand. He Asked questions and gave feedback when needed. I would recommend to anyone that is looking to get their concealed!! I really appreciate Kevin very stand up guy and understanding. Takes his time as well if you do not understand anything and not comfortable with the range. I personally could not have asked for a better instructor!! Glad I made my decision and went to him instead of anywhere else

Thank you Kevin

I have no regrets far as attending and gaining knowledge. His lessons will be with me every time I'm carrying. I would give him 100 stars but google only gives you the option of 5 stars.

I recently attended this concealed carry license class, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Kevin, our instructor, did a phenomenal job from start to finish. His teaching style was clear, engaging, and thorough, making even complex material easy to understand. He ensured everyone felt comfortable and confident with the safety protocols, laws, and handling techniques.
Taking the concealed carry license class with Kevin was an incredible experience. From the moment we began, it was clear that Kevin was not just knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about teaching and ensuring we were well-prepared. His deep expertise was evident as he covered everything from the basics of firearm safety to more advanced situational awareness and legal considerations.

What really stood out was Kevin’s ability to make everyone feel at ease, regardless of their prior experience level. He was patient, approachable, and very open to questions, ensuring no one felt rushed or uncertain. His real-life examples and scenarios helped to ground the material, and his emphasis on responsible carry made a lasting impression. By the end of the class, I felt not only prepared but empowered to carry with confidence and responsibility.

I can’t recommend Kevin enough for anyone considering a concealed carry class. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure his students leave with both the skills and the mindset needed for safe, responsible carry.

Not sure what I was expecting but it exceeded my expectations. Kevin came highly recommended by a good friend and I see why ! This class was very thorough and to be honest fun! I felt less intimidated even after Day 1. Good habits and consistent training from Kevin. I have already recommended to several friends. Thank you !!

Kevin is great instructor and very cool guy! The class portion wasn't solely power point and paper work, Kevin had us do dry fire training with Laser guns which was an interesting break from the presentation. He also made sure everyone was confident taking their qualifying shots by practicing with said laser pistols and, offered for anyone to stay later or come in a little early to practice. I would 100% recommend his class.

Whether addressing legal requirements, safety protocols, or situational awareness, Kevin’s command of the subject matter was evident.
What truly sets this course apart is the balance Kevin strikes between theoretical knowledge and practical training. His state-of-the-art classroom is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including laser-guided training pistols and weight-accurate replicas, which allow participants to practice in a safe and controlled environment. This innovative setup provides an invaluable opportunity for individuals with no prior experience to build confidence and skill in handling a firearm.
Kevin’s hands-on approach ensures that every participant receives personalized attention, regardless of their level of expertise. No question is too small or too complex—Kevin takes the time to address each one thoroughly and thoughtfully, reinforcing his commitment to ensuring that every student leaves the course with a deep understanding of the responsibilities that come with concealed carry.

To anyone considering a CCL course, I cannot recommend Kevin’s training enough. It is an outstanding program, meticulously designed and expertly delivered. Whether you are a seasoned shooter or someone completely new to firearms, this course will leave you feeling prepared, confident, and, most importantly, safe.
Kevin’s dedication to excellence and his genuine passion for teaching are qualities that are hard to find. His program is a testament to what top-tier firearms training should be.

The class was filled with useful information. Kevin was very thorough in making sure the information he was teaching made sence by explaining in detail if needed. The range was also a great experiance as Kevin gave me pointers on proper handling of the fire arm as well as where to look as you were firing. I am so glad I had Kevin as my instructor. He is now my go to guy!!
