Flawlessly renewed my CCW, using their services for pistol qualification & a brush up on the new laws etc. The entire process from class to CCW renewal approval was less than 48hrs (my class was on a Saturday. CA - DOJ was the bottleneck) The information is fresh, raw & relatable. Told by people that have actually done the thing, at a high level, that they teach. Would definitely recommend.

Without getting into too many details I needed a class ASAP. I called a few places and checked websites for other places but all were full or classes a month or more out. That just wasn't going to work for me. Enter Keith Brown of First Priority Security Consulting. He was able to get me into a class in a few days. I have been shooting just about any firearm out there since I was 10 years old. I also have kept up with the laws regarding such. There is always more to learn and Keith is the man to teach them. Very engaging and well explained so you remember what was taught when you walk out the door. This was my first class with FPSC and I have had training elsewhere over the years by some pretty good instructors. His knowledge of the law is second to none and his focus is on keeping you safe from the bad guys and our judicial system which in many cases are the same. As an ex policeman his street knowledge is invaluable. Given that, Keith is one of the best, if not the best. read more

Professional, highly experienced and committed to educating people on all aspects around firearms. I owned a firearm but had never took any actual training. I only knew safety and very basic shooting from family and friends over the years. I decided I wanted both myself and my adult daughter to learn the correct technique and build up confidence to defend ourselfs and our home. Mr. Brown understood exactly what I was looking for and we set up a session. We learned so much in that session, it was very engaging and comfortable. The air-soft set up he has is a great way to practice what you learned and build up your confidence before heading to a range. * I knew we definitely had the right instructor when my 22 year old daughter's air-soft shots hit all in the red. We have since had a session at a range with Mr. Brown. It was great to have him there to guide us, make corrections and provide guidance. Now my daughter and I want to keep learning, improving and are enjoying this experience together. Plus there's a little fun competition! We both decided that Mr. Brown is going to be our "everything firearm" guy for as long as he will keep us. I couldn't recommend a more knowledgeable person for all your firearm needs. Better yet, he is down to earth and made us both very comfortable. read more

Where do I start... I contacted Mr. Brown looking to complete a training course. He was more than accommodating when trying to schedule since it's a pretty extensive course. Once it was time for class I showed up to his home which was very clean and had a great set up. He had a visual power point, my own handbook (so I could take my own notes,) as well as hands on training. He was patient and very calming to work with. As a beginner it can be intimidating and overwhelming, at least that's what I expected. The practical application explained and use of real life scenarios was the game changer. It all made sense Once I was ready it was air soft time. He had my exact model ( in air soft) to allow me to practice before we hit the range for the real deal. Never once did he try to change what felt most comfortable TO ME! Instead he checked my form and pointed out any adjustments needed. Once it was range time, I'm only gonna say this once.... Mr.Brown was right. I should wear a higher necked shirt while shooting. The range was soooo stuffy and hot (and I'm sure I was nervous) I decided against Mr.Brown's suggestion and took my light weight over shirt off. Immediately after, first shot fired... burning hot casing made its way to its cozy new home directly down my top and stuck inside my bra ‍ insert Mr. Browns laughter after my cute little 2 step dance I did to get that sucker out. Then repeat this 3 more times needless to say it was fun yet productive day at the range and I passed my test I would recommend Mr.Brown to anyone! But as a women he made my feel comfortable, confident and at ease! read more
