FREE Concealed Carry Weapons Class = Whats not to like about FREE?!! The Class size was about 40 people and filled the entire class room to capacity, still it was a very comfortable setting and FREE Coffee. The course starts at 9am and last until 6pm with several 15 & 30 minute breaks throughout the day. The Training room has a large Flat screen TV, powerful A/C, comfortable chairs and 2 restrooms that are not assigned "Men or Woman" which makes them open & available most of the time. FREE COFFEE Ok?
The husband and wife Training staff- Robert & Gwen Easton, were very knowledgeable and gave a very good presentation and were readily available to take questions during class & during breaks. Its easy to see that they enjoy what they do and their professionalism, enthusiasm & respect for THE GUN is contagious.
The Range experience was one of the best I have ever had as were the facility set up. Instead of one big open line of 20 shooting platform stalls, the Range is divided into compartments of 5 stalls making it a more intimate& competitive setting. And the system that controlled the distance of the target was basic & very simple to use UNLIKE many I have experienced where you need to enter a code and push # followed by your birthday followed by...You get the idea. The Range Staff was also VERY Nice and lacked the attitude I've experienced at some of the local ranges where they seem like they Hate being there and you are a burden on their day. I even had someone in the Retail section of the store ask me "Can I help you find something?" whereas in my neighborhood store I'm standing at the register for 10 minutes trying to get someone to take my money!!
Overall a Great Experience and I will defiantly be back. I ended up spending (Investing)around $40 renting a gun to qualify & the ammo.(I could have got out paying only $25 had I brought my own 9mm but I brought my .380 and they didnt have any ammo for it)
If you calculate in the time the trainers put in Vs the cost of courses where they charge up to $150, its a STEAL of a DEAL & a great Community Service they are providing. In closing, I think the comment about " they make you pay to qualify and intentionally make people fail 3 times by making the shooting part so difficult" ROTFLMFAO!! = Its NOT their fault you cant shoot straight!! = THAT IS HYSTERICAL!!
