Our class consisted of people from ALL backgrounds and ages...from novice to experienced and everything in between. Myself being older, highly skilled and experienced, I liked how no question was ever overlooked or undervalued by our instructors vast knowledge from those with less knowledge. The highlight of the 2 day CCL class for me was range qualification. It was relaxed, yet structured and everyone was at ease and safe. As is most things in life, the more you put in...the more you'll get out of the overall experience. Although instructor Don could have droned on and on doing ALL the reading, he wisely chose all the class members to read aloud. This was helpful to the entire class and especially the shy students who would've just sat back letting their classmates carry the class. My experience was quite satisfying and highly productive. Instructors Don and TC are dedicated to teaching students well and it shows in their actions.

Absolutely do not give this man your money. The class is mostly him rambling about his own…read morepolitics, making up statistics that you can look up and prove aren't true, and just generally being a bigot and a creep. He also makes tons of comments about how "even women" can learn to shoot and things like that. He spent so long talking about political crap that we ran out of time for the actual class in order to make it to the range on time. He gave literally ONE sentence of direction about each person's shooting and then rushed us all out. He was also so scattered that he didn't bring our certifications with him to the range so I had to make a second trip to the office to pick it up. Horrible experience and I don't feel any more knowledgeable than before I dropped a couple hundred bucks on this jerk.

After experiencing the NRA Basics of Pistol course from Andrew, it is something that I believe…read moreeveryone should do prior to owning a firearm.
