"If you’re reading this review stop searching.. this is the one. Cliff knows his stuff and is an excellent instructor. A real advocate for our 2A rights. Highly recommended for the HGP course!"

"Very well planned and executed course by the instructor. i was not bored or lost during the class and feel very confident in my well being during the up coming range day. Cliff is very knowledgeable and made sure that the class knew they would be able to contact him even after the course for questions or concerns about what they learned and for more education."

"I recently took the wear & carry class and Cliff is very knowledgeable. He was patient with me at the range and made sure I understood everything. He put me at ease and made me feel comfortable with shooting. He also answered any questions I asked. If you’re searching for a class, look no further. This is the one for you. I’ll be taking more classes in the future."

"I took the Maryland Wear & Carry course through DPS recently and it was a great experience. We had 2 evenings of zoom meetings that I was able to attend from the comfort of my home. Cliff is obviously an expert in this field and informed us on firearm safety and Maryland gun laws. He was professional and kept the course interesting by adding stories from his own personal experiences and by showing videos (mostly of what not to do). The range day was held at a private range and Cliff was very thorough with his instruction on how to safely load a magazine, hold the firearm, sight, and shoot. I haven’t been around handguns much prior to this class, but now thanks to Cliff, I am less intimidated and feel more confident. I look forward to taking his Beyond the Permit course for more instruction. Not only was it a great experience, DPS was significantly more affordable than any other local company offering the same course. I would highly recommend DPS and Cliff to anyone interested in their Maryland HQL or W&C permits."

"I took the MD wear and carry permit class with Cliff and he was a very good instructor. He is very knowledgeable and patient with his class. He knew the honest answer to the questions asked along with being honest about the MD laws. He kept his class interesting and engaging throughout the two separate nights. I plan on taking the Utah permit class through him because he is very trusting and knowledgeable about multiple topics."
