So I want to begin by saying this is an amazing course to experience. Very thorough, detailed, and…read moreinformative. Not only are you recognized as student but you are taught to be the best. Also want to mention the Los Angeles Sheriff's department has a list of instructors who are approved in the state of California to teach. So these are the guys to learn from. These instructors are legally licensed to teach you the safety and skills to obtain a CCW certification. Shoutout to Ron, Juan, Robert, Victor, Randy, and Sebastian for being the best representation of what and how all instructors should be. Patience and professionalism at its finest! Whether you're a beginner shooter or an expert, Medic Up offers you lessons from all ranges. Ha Ranges, see what I did there? In all seriousness they are an amazing group of gentlemen who take their time to ensure you are well informed and ready for what can occur at any given scenario. Education is key so think wisely and choose the best class of instructors for your education. P.S. did I mention these are some really cool individuals? Need I say more?

From a friend's recommendation, my Husband and I took their 16 hr initial CCW with Medic up. I felt…read morevery comfortable with every Medic up staff member that was there with their experience, expertise, and making sure we feel safe on range and learning the curriculum. Communication on where to meet, time, and transparency made it clear on where and when I need to be as a student to do what I need to do. Staff members have a very unique vibe with each other as well as talking to students, giving feedback, working with your skill level and others to ensure safety for everyone, and constructive criticism on what can be done better. Despite a malfunction on my part, they were willing to work with me to come back the next day to finish my qualifications so I can get it signed off, which I greatly appreciated. Despite the price being more on the higher side compared to other places, I think I got the knowledge and insight that was worth what I paid for (and more). I don't know what other places have on their curriculum, but I gained a lot of insights from the range and in person classes. Everyone felt encouraged to ask questions, engaged, and network. I highly recommend Medic up and would definitely like to come back for another class! Updated review was to fix grammar

The instructor was solid, knowledgeable, patient, and did a really good job breaking everything down without overcomplicating it. The class itself was well run, and I felt like I actually learned something useful rather than just checking a box. They also sell guns, accessories, ammo and offer additional classes and trainings, plus they provide FFL services. I'd definitely recommend them! -Michael

During the online purchase process, Sako suggested a few FFL's, and Guns LA was one of them. I said yep, although I had never been here, and away we go. A few weeks later, I received an email notice that the rifle had arrived at Guns LA, and I drove over to go through the transfer drill. They buzzed me right in, I was greeted by a couple of the guys, and they handled everything right away. Typical easy California transfer: pages of paperwork, produce CDL, provide DNA sample, raise your right hand and swear you are not a communist or a Klingon, take a polygraph...the usual drill. Because they have a highly Yelp rated gunsmith, I handed them the Leopold scope and mounting rings I had purchased and asked them to mount it (yeah...as if I could have mounted it). No problemo. Ten long days later, I returned (and yes, the DROS paperwork stamps the exact minute from the ten days you started the process and you are damn RIGHT I was there at the exact minute to accept my rifle). They gave me a break on the price of mounting the scope since I did the transfer paperwork there, which was generous and unexpected. Everything was perfect. Although I live in Pasadena, and there are closer gun shops, I would absolutely go to these guys again. Thumbs up and thank you!

I had an excellent experience at Guns LA in Burbank and can't recommend them enough…read more About a year ago, I purchased a handgun from another dealer that has since permanently closed. Recently, I noticed some parts were coming loose and was concerned about safety. I reached out to a few shops, and while the first place was willing to help, I felt like they were more focused on trying to sell me something rather than genuinely helping with my issue. Thankfully, I found Guns LA right around the corner. After seeing their great reviews on Yelp and Google, I decided to stop by and I'm so glad I did. Deon helped me from the start and was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He never made me feel uncomfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly. Not only did he inspect and fix my firearm, but he also spent time teaching me how to properly use my Holosun sight and gave me helpful tips to improve my shooting. He even shared a flyer for private training lessons, which I really appreciated. Best of all, there was zero pressure to buy anything. He genuinely cared about helping me, not making a sale. When I returned to pick up my handgun, Deon and Mike explained that the previous dealer had actually left out some important parts, something they couldn't believe. Luckily, Guns LA has a certified gunsmith on staff (apparently one of the only ones within a 20-mile radius), and they took great care of everything. I'm extremely grateful to have found this place. They've earned my trust and my business. I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases, and they're now the only shop I'll trust with my handguns and AR-15. Highly recommend Guns LA if you're looking for honest, professional, and knowledgeable service! Big thank you to Deon

This is the place I'd recommend to my family and friends if they decided they also needed this training.

Walking into the Seven 4 Para classroom humbled me instantly…read more As a firearm owner for 4 years and a CCW holder for 2, I thought I knew what I was doing--until Eloy and Alec's 16-hour CCW class completely changed that. Their instruction revealed gaps in my knowledge that previous classes never addressed, to the point where I seriously questioned whether I was truly worthy of the responsibility of carrying. What sets Seven 4 Para apart is the depth of their expertise, real-world experience, and unwavering professionalism. They took me to an entirely new level in safety, technique, and situational awareness. My initial CCW class two years ago felt like a rubber stamp by comparison--no real challenge, no deep accountability. If you're serious about elevating your gun ownership, self-defense skills, and overall responsibility, this class is exceptional. The volume of essential information packed into 16 hours is intensive but absolutely necessary. Eloy and Alec go above and beyond to ensure every student truly understands the concepts--they won't sign off until they're confident you're safe, capable, and respectful of the responsibility. No shortcuts, no rubber stamps here. Huge thanks to the entire Seven 4 Para team for investing the time to advance my knowledge, sharpen my respect for carrying, and improve my decision-making under pressure. This training was worth far more than the cost--it's an investment in safety and peace of mind.
