Devin did a great job in presenting the material. He made the class enjoyable!

Greg

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.

Loved it! A lot of very good information combined with hands on. I feel very comfortable that I could safely own a pistol and that makes me feel great about living on my own.

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.

Well-rounded and very informative for someone new to pistols, especially the parts and mechanics of guns and cleaning.

Excellent course that everyone should take, from an excellent and knowledgeable instructor.

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.

Devin is an excellent instructor. He explained the need for safety as the first priority and continued to emphasize safety throughout the class. He has an excellent knowledge of firearms, their components, and applications.

I’m so grateful walking away from this course with the confidence of knowing how to load, unload, check, and shoot a gun. The greatest gift is knowing how to handle and properly check a gun!
