"My wife and I recently took the 16 hour CCL class, and it was a great experience! Going in, my wife wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being far more valuable than she anticipated. Our instructors, Paul, Sean, and Dustin kept everything real. No fluff and no rushing just to get through it. He broke things down in a way that actually made sense, especially when it came to safety and the legal side of carrying. That alone really opened her eyes to the level of responsibility that comes with having a CCL. What we appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like just another class you sit through to check a box. It was hands-on, practical, and focused on making sure you truly understand what you’re doing not just technically, but mentally as well. My wife had never shot a gun before, and it had been close to 10 years since I last shot s handgun. By the end of the class, she felt comfortable, learned a lot, and is already looking forward to getting back out to the range. Whether you’re completely new or have some experience, this class does a great job of meeting you where you’re at. At the end of the day, we didn’t just walk away with our certification we left with more confidence and a much deeper respect for carrying. We definitely recommend DeWitt Firearms Training to anyone considering getting their CCL."
