I was searching for a place to get my concealed carry and a good friend told me about Joe’s class and that he was signed up to go. It was hard to get in and I actually called some other places and could have gotten into those classes with no problems. Meanwhile my friend goes through the class and calls me the next day telling me not to go anywhere else and that I would not regret waiting. He was right! I went in with absolutely zero knowledge of guns and came out well informed and confident of handling most any pistol. The EXTRA stuff Joe teaches and the information he gives you to take with you or look up later via web sites is way above and beyond any expectations.
