I think your class was very informative and the way you present it, in a relaxed atmosphere, definitely promotes a learning experience for those attending. The material you provided was also great, especially the NRA Guide to Personal protection. In addition, I feel your detective friend helped answer some of those gray area legal questions during his Q&A period, adding to the benefits of your training.

It has been two weeks since we were at Peters Gun Range in Roseville for the shooting portion of the CCW class. I wanted to let you know that I still am amazed at how much I learned from you. I am completely confident that I can handle any situation that may arise were I may have to defend myself. Before taking your class, I really was not sure what I would have done. Now I find myself wanting to go to the range and practice the skills you taught me. I headed north to visit some friends this weekend and we spent ½ of Saturday at the indoor range were they are members. They were amazed at my pistol handling skills and accuracy. Within the next couple of weeks, I plan to join Peters Gun Range so I can practice on a weekly basis. If you would like, you can use me for a reference to potential students. Let me know and we will work out some sort of communication.
I feel Dave did a great job. I learned a lot and feel that with practice, I will be very able to protect myself and my family.
Live fire.
Just wanted to thank you again for the great class. Your presentation made me think allot about the issues of prepare, practice and performance being linked so close and intrinsically. I will take this to heart and carry on.
Let me compliment you on the classroom portion of the CCW
course. Debbie and I were astounded by how much we didn't know. I would recommend
the class even for people who weren't interested in carrying a weapon.
