I was not looking forward to spending a gorgeous Sat renewing my license. Three people in my family have been here and had great things to say. Show up, Chrstine and Jason are SUPER organized and welcoming. Parking is easy. This is one of my fav ranges around. They are both really funny and have lots of data/facts/experience in this field. They are good people teaching good things those of us who care to listen. I learned a LOT (always be a student). This was an easy day, the beach and sun came out on Sunday. Not a bad place to be on a weekend. Will be coming to them on the next renewal. Content was not dry at all plus the puppy is super cute. Lunch is provided or you can BYOL. read more

Just completed Shootsafe Academy Conceal Carry training course. Christine & Jason are fabulous. I learned that warning shots, brandishing your gun, and drawing too soon are illegal. They taught me how to size up a threat, when to draw my gun, and what to do in the aftermath. The amount of legal stuff they went thru with Federal, State, and local laws was overwhelming as for what we need to know. They are most personable, friendly, and there to help develop your skills so that your CCW gives you support and confidence. Dick Dadourian 3-9-2026 read more

Thank you Jason and Christine for taking me in for the LASD CCW class at short notice. I was going in with the intention of just getting through the onerous requirements of the state and county for a constitutional right, and an expectation of it being a boring "might as well read" textbook class. But I actually came out with about 7-pages of notes across those 2-days. It was very education, very insightful! And yes, loved Jason's sense of humor... Also appreciated the insights you have given based on your experiences as LE - excellent. Again, thank you!!! read more

I attended the California CCW initial course and must say was the best firearm CCW course I have taken. The course was two days of non-stop training and tons of information. I was super pleased with the training and information provided by Christine Keil the instructor. Christine was great! She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and full of detailed information. The range qualification was excellent and safe. Christine went over all the safety rules and issues and explained everything that made you feel comfortable at the range. She even sat down with me after the training and went over the PowerPoint Slide information in more detail. I have taken many firearms and CCW training courses over the years, but this was by far the best firearms training that I have ever had. I highly recommend Shootsafe Academy for CCW qualification training and other firearms training. read more

Video review is enlightening and much is learned. Highly recommend this course with Jason and Christine! read more

I attend the CCW shooting course yesterday and I'm so glad I chose Jason and Christine as the folks to train me. We as a class went to the shooting range and qualified with them. Then we went to the classroom and learned all the rule and regulations of having a CCW. Jason and Christine were both amazing and very well knowledgeable. I drove from Sherman Oaks to attend their training. I highly recommend Jason and Christine. They both have an amazing sense of humor. They made sure the courses were exciting and they get you involved. Jason and Christine have over 20+ years of law enforcement experience. read more

Awesome experience. Came here for my CCW 16 hour initial class and it was great. Jason and Christine are top notch instructors, who are there to teach you how to legally and correctly be a CCW holder while also not taking their job too serious. And by that I mean, some gun shops and ranges can be so unwelcoming, unfriendly, and unhelpful. They are the opposite of this. They are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Great dynamic, and the class went by fast. First day was qualifications and class. Second day was an awesome Simulator where you start to feel the weight of being a CCW carrier. Would recommend to all family and friends ! read more

My husband, Brian just took their class. He said whether you are a first time applicant or seeking a renewal, Jason and Christine are the best of the best. Their comprehensive approach to all things CCW is nothing short of professional. Their classes are well worth your time and money. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! DO ALL THE COURSES THEY OFFER! I recently got my CCW and was nervous to start carrying around a gun as I've never done it before. The questions that came to mind were "what holster do I get?" "How can I effectively and efficiently pull out my weapon" "how can I safely pull out my weapon" and a bunch of other questions. Jason and Christine walked us through all our questions in almost a 1 on 1 training session, with their 20+ years of police training (in California) they walked us through all the different scenarios and tactics that one would need to use their weapon for as well as if the law permits it! Then you go to range to shoot! You get to walk up to targets and away from targets while firing while effectively holstering your gun. Then after you become a master at your holster you go upstairs and take their simulation course! You go through multiple real life simulations with A GUN to see how you'd react and how accurate your shots are on a massive scenario screen! After that the class discuses and you learn all kinds of new stuff! I FEEL SUPER CONFIDENT CARRYING A WEAPON AFTER TAKING THE COURSE! Trust me when I say Christine and Jason know what they're doing! You will not regret taking the courses! read more

I attended the CCW renewal Nov 23, 2024 with Jason and Christine. The material provided covered was complete and concise. They provided help guidance during different and difficult scenarios.

I have been using Shootsafe Academy for years. Both Jason and Christine are awesome. Both of them are extremely knowledgeable and it is always a pleasure to work with them. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for training and / or CCW certification. read more

I did my initial CCW class with Jason and Christine and more recently my renewal CCW class. My initial class was very informative, I learned a lot and it was very entertaining and fun. Both Jason and Christine did a fantastic job of involving the class in discussion while not making anyone feel uncomfortable. So when I had to do my renewal I went back to Shootsafe and I was not disappointed. They presented all the new information in an easy to understand manner. They have real life and practical experience which was really important for me. They are very detailed in their approach and that can be seen in the way they conduct their class to verifying everyone's information on all the forms and certificates. They took time to address everyone's questions and concerns both durning class and afterwards. If you're looking to get your initial or renewal CCW, I highly suggest you consider Shootsafe. Better yet, just sign up...you won't be disappointed. I'll be going back to them the next time I have to renew. I am also considering taking some of their other classes they offer. read more
