A lot of the delay is the mounds of paperwork that the state requires you to present and fill out. Bottom line is the bad guys don't go into gun shops and complete the legal process so us good folks suffer. I've been in most of the gun shops in the Stanislaus County area as well as the Bay Area. Stage Stop can give them all a run for their money. Great selection. I didn't shoot in the range but I took a look and it's clean and well maintained. I looked at their products while I was waiting the prices seem fair. I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends.

Pros: Almost never had to wait for a lane (at least not due to a lot of people shooting). They have…read morea separate room for their rifle shooting. I believe you can shoot up to 7.62. SOME of the staff are very friendly and super knowledgeable. Big variety of firearms and parts/accessories. Cons: The rest of the staff look miserable aren't very welcoming or friendly. Ammo is more expensive than other places in the area. They also don't allow any firearm that THEY deem may not be "compliant". If I have all the correct paperwork for my firearms and have legally acquired them, I don't see why I'd be rejected. Will keep giving them a try for now.

Easy online instructions, all documents were completed prior to arriving for class on our scheduled day. Full instructions are explained in the email. The qualifications for shooting on the range also listed on the informational email. Full class this past weekend. Started on time and Sal again was our instuctor. There were 3 more instructors on the range when it came time to qualify. Overall, Defend To Survive gives us current laws, saftey tips and instruction. I felt safe on the range, they pay attention to detail, able to give tips/techniques for safe and accurate shooting. We will continue to use and recommend DTS!

They made the whole process smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. I also had an awesome experience during the CCW training with Instructor Richard, Brenda, and Kash.

Thank you to the entire Called2Arms team for the outstanding experience and excellent customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and welcoming place for CCW training!

I came here awhile back with my brother. We originally went to Turners to look into purchasing my…read morefirst gun. In order to get a feel for it, we came to Called2Arms to try out a few different guns and try out the one I wanting to purchase. You pay to rent the gun and for ammo. You must have an ID and need to fill out the paperwork prior. You must have eye wear and ear plugs, available for purchase. You can also purchase a Target or they supply the first one free. They have a staff member in the range to ensure safety and help answer any questions. It was a cool experience. If you're looking to purchase your first gun I'd recommend going to a gun range to try it out before you purchase it.

I spoke with Roe and told him what I wanted. He was really receptive and said he could get it all done. It did take a bit of time but the end product is amazing. My father and I couldn't be happier. Roe brought the pistol back to life and I plan to take great care of it and pass it down one day. I definitely recommend this place for all your 2A needs.

As a veteran, he brings a level of experience, discipline, and real world expertise that you simply can't fake.

Knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed to doing things right. I highly recommend Duck and Cover Tactical!

My husband and I visited this store for the first time and were surprised by how we were treated…read morebecause of the reviews. Upon arrival, we were buzzed in, which was fine. However, once inside, we were greeted by a dog before seeing any staff. Unsure of where to go, I called out for assistance. My husband has a very real fear of dogs due to a traumatic childhood experience in which he witnessed another child lose their life from a dog attack. Although the dog in the store appeared very friendly, my husband remained by the door, visibly uncomfortable, hoping the owner would call the dog back. Instead of recognizing my husband's fear, the owner became extremely hostile. He aggressively told my husband to "get the F out" and "F him," insisting the dog was a service animal. When I tried to explain and apologize, I was also cursed at and told to "get the F out" simply for trying to deescalate the situation. I was so shaken that I nearly had an anxiety attack. This is a business open to the public, and the owner should be more mindful that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. There are respectful ways to handle situations like this. A responsible business owner should be able to recognize and respond appropriately to a customer's fear, especially when it involves an animal. This experience was incredibly upsetting and, in my opinion, handled with zero professionalism or compassion. That's just my experience and perspective but I strongly advise others to approach with caution. If the owner feels offended, he may respond with unprofessional aggression.
