Firearms Training for Law Abiding Citizens

“The CCDW class was both informative and engaging. Jeff and Dave weave in anecdotal stories to help explain the laws and challenge our instinctual reactions compared to the reactions of responsible gun owners. It was nice to be a part of the class and it helped make the time go quickly. When we got on to the range, Jeff and Dave made these 2 first timers feel comfortable with the gun.

“Awesome concealed carry training class. Jeff and Dave are very professional and led good discussions. The simulator situations make you aware of how to react in possible real-life scenarios. I would take this class again just for the simulator. Highly recommend them for your concealed carry training.”

“Outstanding instruction from real professionals. Fluent in carry laws from numerous states. I have had a WA and TX CHL previously so Jeff was able to color in the differences immediately. Range instruction was excellent one on one instruction. I am extremely happy i went with First State Firearms for my concealed weapons firearms training.”

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

— Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting Cesare Beccaria)
