Sentry Defense

"Instructor, Dalton, did well. But I would not recommend Concealed Carry training here. (1) The class started with a 55 minute pitch from an insurance salesman. Not what I paid for! (2) Sentry offers fingerprinting needed for LA permit. I specifically asked if "mail in card prints" would slow down the permitting process. Sentry said no. When I later got on the state website, it plainly stated that mail in cards take "significantly" longer to process. Overall, Sentry has "wood to chop" before I would rate as satisfactory."

"February 16 approximately 1pm , Two Associates and I went to Sentry and I Had a White ARP. Your employee checked ammo and looked at firearms said were cleared and everything checks out. I grabbed my associates ammo and gave them to him and I grabbed mine after he walked off and left them on the counter. I saved my Glock mag and I proceeded to put my ARP mag back into my ARP which I’ve been to Sentry several times and never told me anything before because I’ve went past times with my firearm intact . So your employee instructed me not to insert the mag and wait until I go inside the range to insert the mag. So I never fussed bout it I was going to do as instructed. YOUR EMPLOYEE THEN GRABBED THE FIREARM FROM ME AND RACKED IT BACK AND SAID I POINTED A LOADED FIREARM AT HIM WHEN HE CAME AND GRABBED IT FROM ME AND MY HAND WASNT ON THE TRIGGER AND SAFETY WAS ON. I check and make sure my firearm is on safety before I leave my home and before I even enter the building at Sentry defense and we can run the outside cameras as well because I was well in the parking lot for approximately 20 minutes before entering the building(brown Kia in the corner spot in the parking lot). Ive got self defense training, gun training, and deescalating etc . My two associates and I were shocked that he said that when he came over and grabbed MY FIREARM FROM ME . I didn’t point the firearm and him and I’d love to see the footage and if I’m wrong I’ll gladly apologize but I know I didn’t and he tried to escalate the situation like I deliberately pointed the firearm at him instead of trying to supposedly “instruct” me like he was doing before he GRABBED THE FIREARM FROM ME. Very unprofessional and I have too much to lose to even deal with the ignorance. Won’t be returning at all. Please check the cameras hope to see footage and hear back and if I messed up I’ll gladly apologize but my associates and I both seen what happened . My hand wasn’t on the trigger or by the area as well while trying to put the mag back into the ARP"

"Very knowledgable and helpful staff. Polite and instructors are patient and professional. Prices on equipment are very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone. My wife and I enjoy shooting at their indoor range."

"When I was new to firearms, a friend of mine pointed me to this place for instruction. It's a very comfortable environment for first time shooters and the instructor was very thourough about how to handle a handgun in a safe manor and to shoot properly. I suggest any new shooters from the Lafayette area the give this place a visit for their handgun safety class. Also, the range at Sentry is nice and well lit. Since my visit there, I've been to some real dungeons that call themselves firing ranges. Upon experience, I see now that Sentry has a nice firing range with a good set up."

"Knowledgeable staff that was super friendly and informative. I’m sure I asked many dumb questions as it was my first time at an indoor range but not once did I feel judged. The options of pew pew’s,targets and availability is simply the best! First time or seasoned shooter this place is a great experience!"
