Lightning Defense Academy

"When looking for a place to take my Conceal and Carry class. I wanted to find a set of instructors that were passionate about this and took this seriously because they are indeed giving you the set of skills to keep you and others safe while handling a firearm. John and his team were beyond GREAT. They ensured no stone was left unturned and all questions were answered. I feel more confident in myself now having taken the course. Thank you so much!"

"This CCL class was amazing. I came in with a little bit of knowledge surrounding firearms and law but wow! John is extremely thorough and knowledgeable in every aspect. I left with a lot more knowledge than I was expecting. I highly recommend to anyone, regardless of level. His expertise is worth every dollar and I look forward to being part of other classes! Thank you John and staff, you guys are great!"

"John was my instructor for my CCL, and he was wonderful. He had a lot of energy, kept us engaged, and was patient for us newbies. Me and my boyfriend had a great time and he treated everyone equally, making sure we were all on the same page. I would recommend this class to my friends!"

"John is a phenomenal instructor. I took his weekend class for Conceal Carry and Home Defense and he taught everything amazingly well. He made sure everyone including myself knew what the risks were and and made sure everyone was comfortable and I really enjoyed the class. His son was also really helpful by helping me with my form and giving me tips within the class. I would definitely recommend checking his store out and taking a class with him."

"Wow! Me, my wife and brother took a conceal class with John and I’m speechless on how great the class was. Let me start with saying my wife has only shot a gun once in her life. She out shot me and our brother with John’s directions. This class could be extremely boring but John was top notch. His personality and knowledge kept us engaged all 16 hours. Because it was a smaller class he let us shoot his new firearm, which was awesome. He also taught us how to disassemble and clean our own firearms. He let us try in several products from the shop which is super nice. Price is better than anyone else around, not to mention he goes above and beyond for his clients. I can not recommend enough. We will continue to support his store just because he was an instructor who cared. Thanks again."
