CWP Classes & Firearms Training

I loved the class very in detail about the guns they could not explain enough the importance of gun safety how dangerous it is to point a loaded or unloaded weapon at anybody I also learned a better way to shoot clear sight picture and how to properly aim a weapon no question is a dumb one and VERY hands on at the range practiced with the unloaded firearm to get the feel practiced loading and unloading the gun and loading mags also helped clear malfunctions if we needed the help overall very good experience highly recommended loved the outdoor range as well

Safe Family Defense, to my knowledge is the only school offering this format, Beginner Pistol and CWP in one class. The class is a Full Day by necessity. Joe was Very thorough, covering all aspects of safety that a new gun owner needs to know. I took the class as an experienced shooter who had not shot for several years as a refresher. Most schools require a Basic Pistol course or demonstration of proficiency before taking the CWP course adding an extra time and money commitment: this class offers both in one allowing a person who has never shot to learn fundamentals under close supervision then test for CWP and qualify on the range, all in one day. We had many experience levels, from never having fired a handgun to experienced but rusty, all qualified both on the written test and the range. This class helped me correct many bad habits that I had collected over the years. I can't say enough good about this Class!!!

I recently took the CWP class and I’m very happy with the place I chose. Fun, but on point with teaching and informing and now my fave place.I highly recommend them for any teachings you may need or a place to enjoy.

Joe is the man! Great informative class, definitely will be back for more defense tactics and lessons.

It was a great learning experience me and my girlfriend really enjoy every bit of it

Such a great experience. Signed my mother up and tagged along. Joe and team are amazing. Highly recommend!

I was nervous at first, but I decided to take the chance and it turned out great! I definitely plan on coming back again!

The class was awesome. You may think you know all it is to know about safety and defense but Joe was a very thorough and knowledgeable instructor. Definitely will be taking more classes

Very thorough and practical firearms training. Joe is professional, knowledgeable, patient and has a heart of gold. Worth every penny, and then some. If you take self defense and firearms seriously, this training is top notch.

My CWP class i was eager to attend was originally scheduled for February 21. No problem, I picked the date and had made sure all my other duties and commitments were secure. But on February 20, the very day before I got an urgent phone call say the instructor had to leave town on an emergency. No problem, we immediately began talking about rescheduling and I picked a date that would be good for me. Unfortunately, I got another call soon after from the instructor saying that the new date wasn't good for the other two people attending. A new date was suggested by the instructor that was not good for me. But I agreed to it figuring I could move things around. It would be difficult but I was trying to be helpful considering the instructors situation. So the new date for the class became March 15. On March 14, my daughter who was home for spring break learned she would have to leave the next day. Given that I had been so accommodating to the difficulty earlier I called asking to see if i could just reschedule, not cancel and ask for a refund. Instead of understanding I got flack about the rules and terms. About how it wasn't in the time frame. I understood and said I would be at the class. I admit i was not feeling any warm and fuzzies but I'm a big boy. The next morning as I was about to leave for the class my daughter discovered an issue with her car. Given that she would be driving to Virginia i rightfully redirected my priority to her and skipped the class. I'm done with safe family defense. Calling me on February 14 and saying the class that was suppose to take place on the 15 would have to be rescheduled due to an emergency while giving me a hassle when I asked for the same courtesy is unprofessional. I have to say again that March 15 was not good for me but I figured I'd work around any issues. Unfortunately events got in the way. There are other places to get my CWP and I'll be going to them.
