    "Brad was an exceptional teacher that made the class interactive, fun, meaningful and full of knowledge. Each section of training was handled with knowledgeable precision that allowed a very detailed lasting impression of gun safety and the laws surrounding concealed carry. I truly loved the different scenarios we were put into that really mimics real life experiences and consequences. I appreciate that he truly made us think about the responsibility we have as future Concealed Carry license owners. The fact that I got a teacher who actually cared enough to give me detailed instructions versus one who just wanted to take my money was a pleasant surprise. The time he took on each area of class gave me a lasting impression that I won’t forget. The smokeless range was definitely amazing. I will be sending friends and family back to his class. Specifically. I could not trust a better teacher. I really wish I could give a rating higher than five stars. Thank you Brad"
