What People Are Saying…

“Jim’s course is amazing! He’s very good at explaining things and helping to understand. Very hands on, highly recommended."
— Former Customer
"I recently took my New York State concealed carry class with Jim, and I highly recommend him. He kept the class engaging and interactive instead of relying on hours of videos, which made the material much easier to understand and retain. His knowledge and experience really showed throughout the course, and he encouraged questions and discussion rather than just reading from a PowerPoint. Even with my previous military experience, I learned things in this class that I hadn’t been taught before. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional instructor who genuinely wants his students to leave with a solid understanding of responsible concealed carry. He offers a wide variety of services and I will absolutely be using him to set up a range at my home and help me pick out my first concealed carry weapon."

-Ruth Woodin

"I participated in a situational awareness course as a first responder, with Jim and was thoroughly impressed. It brought a level of understanding of situations that we may encounter that one might not expect. I’m looking forward to sharing this training with my fire company in the near future."

-Jennifer Moore-Warren
