Robert and Tony did an excellent job providing the necessary information to obtain the CCW license. I very much appreciated their detailed explanations as to the responsibilities and considerations that come with conceal carrying and gun ownership as a whole. In addition to the valuable information, they’ve opened my eyes as to how much there is still to learn. I look forward to educating myself further and plan on registering for more classes with them in the near future.
