What veterans are saying
Real reviews from verified customers
Outstanding class
“It was a great class, very informative. They cover everything you need to know about conceal carrying. I highly recommend it to anyone who owns a firearm. I’ll definitely be taking more classes offered by them. I’m a veteran and it opened my eyes to carrying a firearm in the civilian world.”
– Don K., Colorado
Well worth the time and energy!
“I’ve been avid with guns for quite some time, being a military vet as well as a hunter has kept me well fluent with multiple fire arms, but not fully knowing the real world outcome from how our great nation has evolved with the legal aspects… a person may well be 100% within their rights, but the fall out of not knowing the truth behind our actions can be devastating… thank you for the knowledge, and I will continue to advance my education towards safety as well as security.”
– Jason I., Florida
Most excellent instructions
“Learned new information about the do’s and don’ts of handling and safe use of my firearm. Being former military with the training and experience there was some issues that were a little bit different but well explained.”
– James C., Arizona
