    "I’m thrilled I took this class. Brian and Mike were very knowledgeable, and because of that, I was able to be fully informed on the rules & regulations regarding CT, as well as crossing state lines. They were also very clear on the responsibility of becoming a gun owner as well as the responsibility of carrying a handgun. Their style of teaching made it easy yet fun to understand, relate and engage in the topics.They also offered & encouraged the class to ask questions which makes me feel comfortable enough to continue a relationship with instructors in case I have any questions or need any assistance. When it came to the actual firing of a firearm at the range. These two gentlemen were very patient and gave you enough guidance to make you feel comfortable with the firearm and make the target. I recommend the training classes at USCCA with Brian K and partner Mike. Thank you and have a blessed day."
