I really appreciated how the importance of safety was expressed and exampled. Constant reinforcement of good habits throughout the course was great!

Loved this course. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. I came in as a novice not knowing anything and already feel more comfortable handling a gun safely. Can’t wait to purchase my own and practice more.

I have been shooting pistols for about 30 years. [Liberty Defense was] able to identify the bad habits I have developed and help me to overcome them.

The class was awesome, from learning how to hold a pistol to shooting to safely cleaning one, I don’t think it could have been better.

Devin made the class light, safe and engaging, never intimidating.
