This course is a complete guide to understanding the basics of firearms ownership, safety, and nomenclature, and how it applies to home- or self-defense.

"This class was interesting and informative. Ne'Shara presented gun safety and situational information in a way that gave us a lot to consider when deciding how and when to use lethal force to protect ourselves. Prior to going to the range, she showed us how to handle and shoot our handguns safely. I felt comfortable and confident in my abilities to protect myself and my family after completing this course. I’d recommend Ne’Shara’s class to anyone looking to obtain or renew their concealed carry license.."

"Ne'Shara was a great instructor! I'd recommend taking this class to anyone. However, the email info needs to be updated. The wrong phone number was in the email & no suite # was in the location address. We were contacted back quickly via email though! The "classroom" itself was not a classroom at all & the projector was crooked & blurry. My suggestion is a more professional workspace. It was barely suitable for 4 people."
