"Our family just completed the 12 hour training. Most of us had never even held a gun before! The training took us through many real life scenarios and was very hands on. I highly recommend this class. Thanks, Rick!!"

"My family took the 12 hour course (6 hours on two different Sundays) and it was by far the coolest thing I've ever been a part of. I have never held a gun before taking this class and now I feel super confident in every aspect of owning and operating a handgun safely. Even if you have no plans to purchase a gun, taking this class is so beneficial in learning different ways to defend yourself using whatever you can. Rick Niles takes you through MANY real-life scenarios and shows you how to defend yourself and survive. Like Rick said during the class, "There is a one in a million chance you will encounter someone that wants to harm you, but in that one in a million chance, do you want to know how to survive?" I highly recommend this class to anyone and everyone!"

"I highly recommend this training! It is extremely insightful...covering a wide range of topics and drills to effectively improve gun safety knowledge. I took this class having no previous experience and some apprehension. After completing this course, I am much more informed, aware, and confident. Rick does an awesome job of educating and demonstrating critical elements of being a responsible gun owner. WELL DONE, Rick!!!"

"I went into this class with zero knowledge about guns. I left knowing how to handle and use a gun in a safe and responsible manner as well as all the laws and regulations. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in a conceal carry permit. I can confidently say I am ready to go to a range to practice my skills and will be prepared if I am ever in a dangerous situation. Thanks Rick, I had a lot of fun learning (and beating my dad in all the competitions)!"

"I would highly recommend this class to anyone wishing to conceal carry. There is a lot of hands on training in many different scenarios. Rick Niles is very knowledgeable on all aspects of conceal carry, with his expertise you will leave this class with the confidence to know the laws and protect yourself and family in any situation."
