5 Stars - Highly Recommend!…read more I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the Pistol Certificate class at Safe and Secure! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease, which was a huge deal for me--I came in with a real fear of guns. Dan, our instructor, completely transformed that fear into confidence and respect through his patient and professional approach. Dan is simply incredible. He has a calm, non-intimidating teaching style that puts even the most nervous students (like me!) at ease. He never rushed the process, took his time with each of us individually, and ensured that we understood the safety procedures, handling, and mechanics of a firearm before moving on. I never felt pressured or overwhelmed at any point during the training. One of the standout things about this class is how thorough and hands on it is. Dan not only explained the laws and safety rules clearly but also guided us step-by-step through all the state and local paperwork required to obtain our gun permits. He made sure everything was filled out correctly and answered every question with patience and clarity. What really impressed me was how focused the course was on safety, responsibility, and proper mindset. This wasn't just about checking a box to get a permit--this was real education and empowerment. By the end of the class, I felt confident, informed, and prepared--not just to legally own a firearm, but to handle one safely and respectfully. I'm honestly looking forward to taking more advanced classes with Dan and his wife in the future. If you're looking into getting your pistol permit, or if you're nervous like I was, don't hesitate, this is the class to take. You'll walk out smarter, safer, and stronger. Thank you for a great class and thank you for serving!

I did notice this last time as someone else mentioned below, I was there an hour and the owner went to charge me for 1.5 hours. I told him I had only been there an hour and he changed the bill, but that is never a good sign. In any case, the website says Monroe Shooting Sports has tons of different classes to try so I figured I would try one. As I was leaving the range I spoke to the owner about what might be best and he suggested a 1x1 "mini class" the following Tuesday (a week later) and I said great. The website shows "mini" classes as $89 for 1.5 hours...fine. I email him (his preferred method of communication) to confirm and he says bring pistol, holster and 100 rounds of ammo and I will shoot for an hour. Odd it's 1 hour instead of 1.5 but okay....when I asked why he didn't respond. The day of, he sends an email, doesn't even have the decency to call, and says "Sorry I need to cancel today I am not taking on any new clients, but please consider a private lesson." Obviously a very disorganized place. After talking to the owner the first time to decide what to try, most of what is on the website isn't really offered...ie the mini classes, TIPS Tuesday, etc. In any case, crappy experience and he didn't care enough to follow up which surprises me as it's so important to put best foot forward out with shooters...new or experienced. Too many places to shoot for bd service and follow-up.

The most important thing about any place of business is going to be staff. The Staff here are friendly and it's a small community or family type atmosphere. The best part of this shop is the range. Nice and clean, great sound deadening, and the air is so clean. I spend a lot of time in the range so I really appreciate the air quality. Range is great for pistol shooting and some tactical shotgun and long guns. State of the art carrier system and all lanes are working. The place is usually busy but never really have had to wait more than a few minutes to get to a lane. Pricing is good for range time and there is an option for membership. The selection of rentals could be better but it's enough that if you have never shot you have a good selection. The store has a small selection of the most popular pistols and some long guns with decent prices. Overall the range, Store, and especially staff are great. And I highly recommend this place. This is the best indoor range with in 30 miles of my town I have been to in the area.

I felt so comfortable here for a person who has only shot two or three times in her life. They have a wide selection of weapons to purchase and the value of the class is very reasonable ($90 cash) you register in person the day before and park in the lot across the street. I'll be back to purchase my weapon. The range is kept clean and the instructors are on hand to assist. For someone who has little knowledge, they're very patient with teaching and if you have questions. Being black owned is a major plus!!

I found their groupon deal, which was one of the most reasonable priced places in the area. Joe was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what he does. They also offer add on services like passport sized photos and notarizing of your paperwork, at an extra (but nominal) fee. Additionally, they offer various other classes, like security training, CPR/first aid, self defense, etc. as well as 1:1 firearm instruction. Their classroom was a bit tight, as the class I attended had a large number of people in attendance. There wasn't enough space between the rows of tables and chairs to get up without everyone in the row needing to also stand up for the people sitting on the inside against the wall. A bit distracting, but that is my only (negative) feedback. Also, to note: the morning half of the instruction is in the classroom followed by a (lunch) break of one hour. Then, everyone is expected to meet up at the gun range (Delta Arsenal in Wallingford about 20 minutes away) for the hands-on portion of the class, where you get to shoot/practice with an instructor. I had assumed we would be shooting at the nearby gun range in Orange, but it wasn't a huge deal. Just might be helpful, so attendees can know what to expect before signing up. Most of the 2 hours in the range was spent waiting, as they do provide 1:1 time with Joe or one of his staff while shooting. You can shoot the basic hand gun or "buy up" to try a range of different sized guns for $20 extra. You get a signed certificate at the end of the class which you can submit to your city/town with your full pistol permit application and Joe makes himself available during that process, should you need help or advice.
