I recently completed my CCW class with Amer at Safely Carry, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Before taking this course, I viewed concealed carry primarily as a personal right. After spending the day with Amer, I left with a much deeper understanding that it's also a tremendous responsibility--not only to yourself and your family, but to everyone in your community. He did an outstanding job emphasizing safe decision-making, situational awareness, conflict avoidance, and the mindset required to responsibly carry a firearm. One of the things I appreciated most was the class size. Instead of being packed into a room with 50 or more people, the smaller group made the experience feel much more personal. It almost felt like a one-on-one session, and everyone had the opportunity to ask questions and receive thoughtful, detailed answers. Amer has a tremendous amount of knowledge, not just about concealed carry laws and responsibilities, but about firearms in general. He covered proper handling, safe carrying techniques, maintenance, storage, and practical tips that come from real experience. No question felt rushed, and he made sure everyone understood the material before moving on. If you're looking for a CCW instructor who genuinely cares about making you a safer, more responsible firearm owner--not just helping you check a box to get your permit--I highly recommend Amer and Safely Carry. I left the class feeling more confident, better educated, and with a whole new appreciation for the responsibility that comes with carrying a concealed firearm. read more

I recently took this CCW class and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the instructor kept everything professional, engaging, and most importantly focused on safety. The classroom portion was extremely informative without feeling like a boring lecture. They broke down the legal side of concealed carry in a way that actually made sense, especially around use-of-force and where you can and can't carry. That alone made the class worth it, since understanding the law is a huge part of carrying responsibly. What really stood out was how much emphasis he put on safety. The instructor didn't just go over the rules he enforced them and explained why they matter, which made everything stick a lot better. The range portion was equally solid. He took his time working with students of all skill levels, offering clear, calm coaching on fundamentals like grip, stance, and trigger control. You never felt rushed or judged, which made it a great environment to learn and improve. I also appreciated how organized the class was. Everything flowed well, there was a good balance between classroom and hands-on training, and he respected everyone's time. Overall, this class left me feeling confident, informed, and much more prepared to carry responsibly. Whether you're brand new or just need your permit, I'd highly recommend this course. read more

I just completed a CCW class with Amer through Safely Carry, and honestly, it exceeded every expectation I had. From the legal side to understanding real-world responsibility, this course wasn't just about getting a permit -- it was about truly learning what it means to carry responsibly. Amer has a way of explaining things that makes complex topics feel clear and practical. He breaks down safety, the law, and decision-making without ever making you feel overwhelmed -- whether you're new to firearms or just refreshing your training. Safety was emphasized every step of the way, and I never once felt rushed or like I was just checking a box. What really stood out was how thoughtful the instruction was. The classroom felt engaging and respectful, and the pace was perfect -- detailed without dragging, serious without being intimidating. I walked away not just certified, but confident in my understanding and ready to carry with awareness and respect. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants CCW training that's meaningful, educational, and empowering. You'll leave feeling informed, capable, and genuinely prepared. read more

This class was extremely thorough and very engaging the entire time. Amer, our instructor, explained the process, responsibilities and safety measures with real life experiences by engaging stories, which made the two days of training informative and enjoyable. He encouraged the class to participate with questions and there were many, all which were enthusiastically answered by Amer. I learned more than I thought I would, and you leave the class feeling very confident about your own responsibility and aptitude with CCW. Amer is a true professional and it's very passionate about firearm safety and controls and you will be very well equipped to pursue firearm safety yourself and with others. I definitely recommend Amer and his training as I am confident I am well prepared and informed. Amer sets the bar high and makes sure his students understand all aspects and process for CCW.

I thought taking a class from a female would be helpful and it was. Laura was able to answer all my questions, we had plenty of in class room time in a safe environment going over gun safety, rules of gun safety, how a firearm works, what a misfire is, anything and everything the NRA requires prior to even stepping on a range. We then went to the range and she worked with us individually on our grip, stance, and target aim. At the end of the 8 hours, I felt not only very comfortable about what I was doing, but was ready to run out and buy my first gun! Using Laura was the best choice for myself.
