Rick did a fantastic job teaching the concealed carry class. He clearly emphasized those the items of highest priority and importance (there were many). Class information, instruction, and demonstrations were clear and likewise the final written test & practical shooting was seamless and well synchronized.

Rick is a great instructor with many years of experience. He explains things well and gives real life stories and goes over scenarios with the class. Great trainer in the classroom and on the range. Highly recommend others to take his training. In the future I will be signing up for his other trainings he offers.

My wife and I took the CCDW class. We had our eyes opened to things going on in this world that have started to become to close to home and our everyday life, so with what we took out of the class is we need to be aware of our surroundings. I would recommend this class because the instructor pointed out situations and shared life experiences with us. So get your license and carry 24/7. Don’t become a victim. Once we become a little more confident with our weapons, we may return for some more training.
