    "Carly and Melissa are awesome instructors- I didn’t know what to expect, but I know I left feeling empowered, comfortable and actually exited to learn more about gun ownership and safety practices for both myself and my home. Their realistic and honest approach made the class a safe space to openly discuss and ask questions every step of the training. They made sure we all understood the importance and responsibility of gun ownership and carrying. I recommend all women, even if you are not interested in gun ownership to take one of their classes.. you will learn so much more than you think. "
