What They're SayingAbout the class

"Well, thanks to your website, both my son and I are now permit holders in Virginia. I recently bought him a small 9mm pistol; he liked mine so much I bought him one for Christmas. It's a good feeling that should the need arise, we can both defend ourselves and others. Lord knows, in these times, with people being abducted, police being gunned down in a coffee shop, and random shootings happening almost daily, the ability to conceal carry gives me great piece of mind." - Ms. L.H., Staunton
