What attracted me most was that the class was mostly Online. What started as me just trying to complete something to check a box, turned into an engaging training experience. Mr. Galletta has both a passion and a skill for teaching. Although it started as an online course, it felt like I was sitting in the classroom gaining the experience I needed. Following the online course, I also signed up for the live fire qualification. I had the pleasure of Mr. Galletta personally overseeing my qualification. From speaking directly to him, he genuinely cares about giving you the tools you need to protect yourself. I will be using this company for all future renewals, training and referring anyone wants proper firearm training.

After allowing my CCW to expire (we were planning our 50th wedding anniversary at the time), I…read moredecided to get my CCW just in case we ended up with a new sheriff who was not 2A friendly. The online class was very good, all in all. I wish John would have repeated the questions asked from the class during the filming as we heard his answer and, at times, had no idea what the question was. There is no way to make the CA law review interesting but it is a necessary couple of hours of boredom. The videos, personal stories, and First Aid was excellent. Much better than a previous online class I'd taken. At the range for qualification, one of his assistants stayed with me through the qualifiying on three weapons. She had the patience of a saint as I was extremely nervous and was shooting a weapon I had just picked up from the gun store that morning. I highly, highly recommend the course. John was very responsive to my calls and texts. --Greg England

After finishing the rounds I brought, I noticed my groupings were down and to the left. Since I had just installed a new optic, I thought it might not be zeroed correctly. On my way out, I decided to ask for some advice. Mike was extremely kind and took the time to ask a few questions to understand the issue. He then gave me about 36 rounds, told me to grab a new target, and said he'd meet me in a lane. Long story short, he spent 10-15 minutes helping to figure out the problem and got me shooting in the right direction ;) at no cost. I didn't expect that at all and couldn't be more grateful for his time. I also met Steven, the owner, who was just as friendly and took time to answer my questions about purchasing specific firearms. At no point did I feel like a burden. Thanks again for your time, I'll definitely be back, even with a 30-40 minute commute. It's worth it.

The instructor was solid, knowledgeable, patient, and did a really good job breaking everything down without overcomplicating it.

His diverse background in military, executive protection, and competition shooting brings together the best of all worlds into a personalized training meant for the every-day civilian in protecting themselves, and ultimately in winning a gun fight. Best of all, he has multiple trainings geared towards your level of proficiency--- I will definitely go back for his advanced class. Can't recommend him enough, whether you're a brand new shooter or experienced!
