“I just wanted to say thank you for the great class of women last night at the Midvale Sportsman store. It was very informative. I feel like I've really learned a lot. Thanks again,"Madrugada F.
“Today we did a concealed carry course with instructor Paul M in Albuquerque, NM. We wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how pleased we are with our experience! It was worth the money! Paul is a talented teacher. We left the class much more informed about gun safety AND the law, which is exactly what we expected from a course like this. We liked that Paul used appropriate humor and provided real-world examples to help us retain information. He is clearly skilled with firearms and we have great confidence in his ability in this area. What you offer through your course and talented instructors like Paul is a real asset to our society. Thank you for helping us be better prepared to protect our family. Sincerely,"Daniel and Sirley C.
“I recently took a concealed carry class in Altoona, Pennsylvania. ...I felt the need to congratulate the instructor Jacquline and Legal Heat on an excellent course. I have and will recommend the course to others in my area. Good job to you all."David m
