As…read moresomeone who likes to be prepared, I appreciated the emails from Juan clearly outlining the expectations for the training, including what to bring, maps showing where to go, and paperwork to fill out ahead of time. As a relative beginner when it comes to firearms, I was a pretty nervous going into it but everyone on the Medic Up team was so professional and patient. They had good senses of humor too, which made the class fun and eased my nerves. There were 18 people in my training, and plenty of instructors. Someone was always there to help me when I needed it. Victor and Sebastian helped me with my grip and trigger pull which significantly improved my accuracy. Not only are these guys very knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to firearms, you can tell they are passionate about it as well. Beyond actually shooting a gun, they also provided education regarding life saving measures and the importance of legal representation. Matt led the legal portion, and he had a vast understanding of every bill/law pertaining to 2A rights. It was very eye opening and inspired me to do my own research. Sebastian presented the medical info and you can tell he knows his stuff. He demonstrated how to respond to gun shot wounds to different parts of the body, such as using a tourniquet, packing a wound, or using a chest seal. When I got home I ordered a few more things for my emergency kit based off his recommendations. Day 2 was in a classroom, led by Randy. He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered every question and hypothetical situation thrown at him. He provided a lot of clarity regarding when you can legally defend yourself using your firearm. Also, I received my course completion certificate from Juan by the end of the day. Overall, this was a very organized, well-rounded course led by professionals. Despite my nerves going into it, there wasn't a moment where I regretted being there or felt uncomfortable. TBH I liked it so much I wish it was longer! It was engaging and informative and I walked away learning way more than I thought I would. I am excited to continue to hone my skills and I will definitely be taking more courses with Medic Up in the future.

10/10 Weekend and experience, I can't recommend MedicUp ENOUGH!…read more I found MedicUp Consulting through various recommendations on the CaGuns reddit. Every single review had high praise and spoke to the level of professionalism that the instructors brought to the class. Now I get it! Ron, Juan, Randy, Victor and Matt made this an incredible weekend that I will always be grateful for. Before this class, there were alot of things I was unsure about in regards to carrying, legalities, and mindset. We live in an age where everyone on the internet can give an opinion or advice, no matter how bad or wrong it may be. After this weekend, I feel both confident and comfortable in my understanding now. You get REAL answers and advice from active and retired law enforcement officers. They dont bullshit you or try to sell you fluff. And man, they know how to have a good time and keep things fun. 16 hours flew by and left me wanting to come back just to hang with them again! No matter how simple or basic a question you may have, they never make you feel stupid, nor put you down, and they really take the time to address ANYTHING. I never felt like I was just a customer or paycheck. Truly felt like I was welcomed into the family. During the live portion and quals, there wasnt a SINGLE mishap nor moment where anyone felt or did anything unsafe. Not once! It just goes to show how on it they are, and how well they can articulate, teach, and enforce safety. I'm thankful for all of the skills and information I took away this weekend, but probably the best/most useful was practicing and applying tourniquets in the Stop The Bleed portion. With MedicUp, you get what you pay for and MORE. I can't wait to be back in 2 years for my renewals, but more than likely I'll see yall again sooner for either the lowlight or shotgun class. Thank you guys again for such a FUCKING AWESOME weekend!

Laughable that a person can be doing something this long and still not know what the eff they are talking about. An upper receiver is not a firearm under federal law (27 CFR § 478.12), is not serialized, and is not regulated on its own. Barrel length by itself does not magically create an SBR. An SBR determination requires a rifle with a shoulder stock and a barrel under 16 inches (26 U.S.C. § 5845(a), (c)). That determination depends entirely on the serialized lower receiver--which in my case is a legally owned and DOJ-registered semi-automatic pistol, not a rifle, and is configured to be California compliant under California Penal Code § 30515. This is basic, entry-level firearms law. Being incorrect is one thing. Being aggressively, confidently incorrect--and then doubling down when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about--is something else entirely. Instead of listening or checking the law, the owner insisted I was committing a serious federal felony and spoke to me in a hostile, unprofessional manner and cursed at me, all while in front of other patrons. Embarrassing for him to say the least. This is peak FUDD behavior: outdated knowledge, refusal to learn, and ego over facts. Shops like this don't just inconvenience customers--they actively spread misinformation that can get people in real trouble, especially in California. If you've been "in the business for 42 years" and still don't understand the difference between an upper receiver, an SBR, and a compliant AR pistol, that's not experience--that's willful ignorance. Do yourself a favor and avoid gun stores that let pride replace competence.

I had been contemplating purchasing a firearm for a few years, however I always seemed to convince…read moremyself not to do so, particularly because I was afraid of having a gun in my home. As it turns out, a thorough understanding of firearms safety and proper firearms training changed all of that for me, and that's where Applied Fundamentals Consulting comes in. Julian is as professional as they come, and will cater to your level of expertise, from novice to expert. With over two decades of law enforcement experience under his belt, Julian has had extensive training himself, and his ability to patiently and effectively convey his knowledge and expertise to his clients is absolutely apparent. Aside from the hands-on training that you'll receive from Julian, he makes it a very important point to also teach you about firearms safety. Muzzle awareness, being aware of your surroundings, finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot, and much more. On top of this, his philosophy that if you're going to learn to make holes, you should learn to plug them as well, shows how adamant he is about ensuring that his hands-on training and safety go hand in hand. Additionally, Julian has also consulted me in terms of the various options that are available to me as a firearms consumer. From handguns, to ammunition, gun belts, holsters, weapon mounted flashlights and optics, safety gear and emergency/medical equipment, expect to be FULLY educated by Julian when it comes to firearms. Needless to say, Julian's training has given me all the confidence that I need to have a gun in my home, and to safely and confidently use it, if and when necessary. In fact, I am so comfortable with my pistol now that Julian recently consulted me on spec'ing out a rifle to meet my needs and even acquired the parts and accessories that I needed for this build. I have no doubt that with Julian's training, I will become as confident with my rifle as I've become with my pistol. If you're looking for a true professional to guide you, and more importantly, provide you with the training and knowledge necessary to become a law abiding gun owner, reach out to Julian with Applied Fundamentals Consulting. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

I attended their intro to handguns class, covering the basics of safety and proper form, and getting in some introductory shooting experience. John, our instructor, was very engaging and great at commanding attention when needed and building up the class's confidence. Afterward, I took them up on their 'newbie' offer of free range time and rental after class. Kevin signed me up for a lane, let me rent a couple of handgun models I researched previously, and critiqued my targets, giving some general feedback and advice. He also pointed me toward a couple other models that are known to be more friendly to left-handed shooters that I can test out in the future. Great place; a little on the older and smaller sides, but staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. I get the feeling that as I 'shop around' for my go-to range there's a strong chance I will gravitate back here, since these guys are passionate about what they do, and seem to want to inspire that passion in others. Definitely will make it a point to stop by again.

As expected for a weekend, there was a wait, but since we were off for the day, we didn't mind hanging out on the folding chairs in the retail section for 30 minutes. The staff is awesome--super friendly and easy to talk to--and the check-in was painless. While waiting, I noticed their optics prices are actually lower than most other shops in OC. I'll definitely be back when I'm ready to pick up another Holosun. The only real downside is their range rule: you have to reload your magazines at the shooting stall, not the back table. Because the space is tight, I couldn't reload while my friend was shooting. We ended up spending half our time just loading mags, which really cut into our actual trigger time. It's a solid spot and less expensive than other local ranges, so I'd come back alone, but I'll probably skip the "buddy trips" here since the reload rule makes it hard for two people to get their money's worth.
