Absolutely an amazing class, amazing instructor. Would recommend to anyone thinking of CPL, defense or just basic information.

"Me and my husband went to the Front Line Defense conceal pistol license class and our instructor, Dan, went above and beyond to make sure we not only knew the legalities behind carrying a gun for defense, but he made sure by the end of it, we knew how to handle a gun confidently and comfortably. I was nervous going into the class because I didn’t grow up around guns and I hadn’t even handled a gun until a couple years ago. However, after the class we attended, I can confidently say I am comfortable holding, taking apart, putting back together, loading, and firing a pistol. I learned SO MUCH about where you can and can’t carry, the laws behind self defense and the use of deadly force, and even learned a better way to stand while firing and the best way to hold a gun for maximum control. I would 100% recommend this class for anyone who is new to guns or even a veteran just wanting to get their conceal pistol license.."

Our Concealed Carry class was both educational and enjoyable. We really appreciated the instructor’s knowledge and teaching style. He explained everything clearly and took the time to answer all of our questions. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely recommend the class to others.
