Protection First CCW

I have my cpl all ready but I called for some good ranges and the guy was very helpful

I really enjoyed the lecture portion of this class. The instructors were very easy-​going and provided information in a very practical manner. There were two instructors: one to discuss the legal aspects of being a gun owner and one to instruct in handling a firearm. Although they talked for hours, it did not seem like such a drag because they were very personable.
Things started to go a little left when it came time to visit the range. I was aware that the range was at a separate location from reading a previous review. However, this was not clarified during the registration process or openly until well into the class lecture. Of course one can ASSume that the range is at a separate location based on the type of building that the class is held in. It is obvious that the range isn’t on-​site. Still they should inform the class well ahead of time in case someone may not be willing or able to travel to the range. The range that we used was in Royal Oak, although the instructors did not seem committed to using any particular range…
When the time came to go to the gun range we all met up there only to find that the range was closed due to a power outage. Obviously this was not the fault of the instructors, but it probably could have been avoided had they made a call even if just to confirm that it was okay to bring a group at that particular time…
So our class ended up dragging on into the following day. There were 3 of us in the class and the instructor did give us the option to finish up that same day, but at a range that was slightly farther away. We opted to return the following day to finish the range portion.
So for the day of the range training we had been instructed to meet at the building where the class was held only to get there and wait for other class members to show up and then we drove to the range. I was confused as to why we didn’t just meet up at the range. I was initially under the impression that we were meeting at the classroom building because there was something else that he needed to review before we went to the gun range…
The overall experience was fair. It obviously could have been better had there not been issues with the range set-​up. I did enjoy the presentation of the instructors. I at all times felt comfortable at the gun range. The instructors both seemed very experienced with the laws and handling firearms. I never once felt intimidated with handling the guns or to ask questions in the class.
I feel that the issue with the range, although could have been avoided, was an isolated incident and it doesn’t impact the knowledge base of the instructors. In addition to the basics of gun ownership and CPL/​CCW they initiated thought-​provoking scenarios and other considerations for general safety.

I took this class in January of 2013 and this was such an amazing class. Once we started the class the teacher went over handgun basics and covered every possible scenario you can imagine. He took endless questions and made sure every person in class understood the laws and was comfortable. We then went to the range where we were broken up into smaller groups and got 1 on 1 training on the range with different situations. I like this as we were not just standing on a range firing at a target, they got us to move around a bit and fire with different hands and from different positions. Overall I was blown away by this class and highly recommend this class to anyone looking to educate themselves on the carrying law. s
