No fluff. No fear tactics. No nonsense.

Just clarity and confidence.

    "Cody was a great instructor backed with real world experience. I originally was looking for a class to get my CCW permit but this class covers that and some real world examples. This has been my by far best firearm training course. "

    "The instructor Cody was incredible. I got so much knowledge out of it!! Very informative on the laws of conceal carry and on real life situations. The one thing that really stood out, “Your body won’t do what the mind doesn’t know.” Highly recommend not only Cody as an instructor but the facility is top notch. Thank you!!!"

    "John, thank you for the review. The class was very interactive and all of you were there ready to learn. That advice of, "your body will never go where your mind has never been," is something that really impressed on me early in my police career. I am glad it stuck with you. "
