What Previous Students Say

"This class has it all! I was not looking forward to going to this class since I had 6 years of United States Marine Corps experience. I was expecting just another lecture class, but I was wrong! All throughout the class Bill and Wes kept it very interactive. It was as if we were feeding off of each other. I had 2 other marine buddies with me in the class and they felt the same way walking in, but completely different on the way out. The class was very informative, although I knew most of the gun information, I did not know the Texas law portion. Thanks Bill and Wes for answering my questions."
