Ryan Masters
I recently (Father's Day) attended Christopher's Concealed Carry class, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Christopher's professionalism and expertise truly set him apart as an exceptional instructor. I would highly recommend his class to anyone interested in obtaining their concealed carry permit.
One aspect of Christopher's class that stood out to me was his exceptional ability to create a comfortable and inclusive learning environment. My wife, who has some anxiety around firearms, was initially hesitant about attending the class. However, Christopher's approachable demeanor and genuine care immediately put her at ease. He took the time to address her concerns, answered her questions patiently, and provided the necessary support throughout the entire class. His understanding and sensitivity towards her anxiety were truly commendable.
