    "Top Gun and instructor Jason Maness presented an excellent course in home defense with a shot gun, with absolute clarity of safety and responsibility. Ample time was provided in the classroom and on the firing range. As a novice to guns in general, I now feel confident in my ability with a shot gun. "
