Dude is knowledgeable, polite, and funny. Great experience doing my CCW training with him.

I took the CA-16 hour CCW course from Keith. He covered the material quickly and thoroughly and kept the class engaged the whole time. (which is hard to do). Keith also possesses real-world experience and insights that are extremely useful. I would recommend Keith to anyone wishing to take their CCW courses. read more

FPSC is very accommodating and responsive. Was able to make my modification quickly. His fees for transfers are also very very reasonable.

Keith is very knowledgeable and will do everything he can to work around your schedule. Will be going back to him for my future renewals

Awesome very detailed class!!! Very relaxed setting to learn. Instructor is very knowledgeable concerning laws of the State and firearms. I recommend this class to all that have an interest in learning proper procedures. Thanks again Mr. Brown read more

Prior to taking my CCW renewal through First Priority I had utilized Keith's FFL services on a few occasions and purchased ammo. He is such a cool, experienced and knowledgeable dude so I was stoked when I saw him on the list of CCW class vendors. I went in for the shooting portion pretty nervous but surprised us both and shot well (hadn't been to the range in too long), especially after he identified my trigger finger issue (instilled in me by a different instructor!). He knows his stuff, he's funny as heck and made the classroom portion totally fly by. Will definitely utilize this business again in the future!! read more

I recently completed a 16 hour CCW Course @ First Security Consulting. The Instructor Keith Brown was very knowledgeable and made sure that I was caught up on all of the gun laws concerning Conceald Carry. He made me feel at home and maintained a very professional demeanor at the same time. What I enjoyed about the course was the fact that he encouraged me to ask questions and let me know that there weren't any dumb questions. The range work was a breeze and I felt very confident going in. I recommend anyone to take his course if you are considering getting a CCW or if you need to get familiar with a firearm.. read more

It was great experience very friendly training was nice Keith Brown was very acknowledge he made training easy learned a lot from him..

I contacted Keith Brown to do my CCW training course. I was very impressed with the way he conducted his class, he was very thorough and took his time to answer all the questions I had. I have learned so much in his class. He taught me the proper way to hold a weapon and what to do if my weapon were to jam. I walked away confident and comfortable in knowing the law and the CCW rights. He has notary services, and can also renew your basic gun permit as well. Very professional! read more

Good man, Keith Brown. The training he delivers is worth every penny. Super easy going attitude but you can tell he's motivated to help folks learn. My go-to spot going going forward for sure. Thanks Keith! read more

Keith did a fantastic job and kept the class interesting and engaging. I'd recommended using his services. Thanks Keith!

Keith Brown was awesome and has extensive knowledge of the laws and firearms. He presents the material in an way that keeps you engaged and interested. I'm not sure about the pricing because I was already sold on Mr. Keith based on his professionalism and customer service but I think it's definitely worth it, even if you find someone cheaper. Cheaper does not equal better and you get what you pay for. Mr. Keith clarified much of the misinformation told by other instructors. It's not worth saving a few bucks if you end up in jail listening to some of these other instructors. He law enforcement career that spanned over two decades enables him to pass a lot of his knowledge on to you during the class. His hours are convenient also as he is available 7 days a week. He also offers other classes and services that I plan on utilizing later. If it has anything to do with guns, I definitely recommend Keith. read more

Keith is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms and firearm safety. I left his class feeling informed and comfortable handling my firearm. I would highly recommend his training . read more

Kieth is a great instructor and a better person. He has years of experience and actual real time situations to share, that will help you learn. I wouldn't hesitate to take his class! read more

Bought a hand gun via GunBroker and used Keith as FFL. Got a call right away from Keith and had a great conversation and the process to secure the pistol. Walked me through the whole thing. Met him on a Friday and very accommodating with his time. Went through the background check questionaire and filed some forms and signatures. Additionally, Keith is fully stocked. As the rest of the reviews, this man is a "bad-ass" and seem to genuinely care and wants to provide you beyond great service. Love small business. Highly recommend Keith and foresee myself continue to give him my business in the future. Will recommend Keith to my friends and all my acquintance. AAAAA++++ Oliver Nicolas read more

I went to First Priority Security for my 16 hour CCW course. I got a response from Keith (instructor/owner) a couple hours after I sent him a email and voicemail. 7 days later I was at his house taking the class. I got lucky and took the class solo. He was very welcoming when I entered through the door. The lesson that I learned that day gave me confidence to carry. There were many things that I thought was not allowed in the state of California but the course changed my mind with facts and laws that will back you up in the event you do use your firearm. The only dumb question you got is the one you never asked. I asked many questions and senecios, and he backed it up with true life experience and data. Keith has 23+years of law enforcement experience. It doesn't get any better than getting an answer with data, facts, and life experience. After the class he will be your instructor forever. How do I know that? He was getting calls and text from former students asking him questions about everything. He values his students and wants to make sure they go out into the real world with confidence. I would do it all over again. read more

I have always been afraid and uncomfortable around guns. With Mr. Brown's training I am confident, comfortable and knowledgeable enough to hold and fire a firearm if needed. This was the best training my family and I have ever had. The quality time Mr. Brown spent with us answering all of our questions (and we had plenty) was truly appreciated. I look forward to going to the shooting range with Mr. Brown in the future. read more

I know Mr. Brown in one capacity and was pretty sure he would be a good gun instructor. I was amazed by his relentless focus on safety, his knowledge about guns, and his patience with fearful women. My mother, sister, and I took the gun safety class and my sister and I took the Basic Pistol class. It was only the second time I held a gun in my hand, albeit a realistic looking BB gun. I was petrified and once I stopped shaking, I was able to focus on the target. Keith is the consummate professional, he answers every question with enough detail to make you feel comfortable, and he provides a relaxing atmosphere to make you feel confident. I highly recommend Keith Brown as a gun and safety instructor!!! read more

Very glad I decided to go with First Priority Security Consulting for my CCW training course. Keith is the man! Super knowledgeable with anything regarding firearms/safety/laws. I highly recommend this class. read more

Keith is a highly knowledgeable professional who freely shares vital information to make you successful. Keith knows how to build trust with clients and instill confidence within them. Making sure everyone is comfortable asking questions is important for beginners. So glad Keith showed us how to create good habits and we will build upon them in the future. I'm looking forward to my next coaching session and also looking forward to purchasing through him soon. Keith has great relationships with the local range and I felt good knowing he is highly respected among the staff and even other customers visiting the shooting range. read more

My previous attempts to inquire about guns from conventional gun stores have been so disappointing - not adequate information given, long waits that when my name was called - the initial screening question and the assurance that they have what I was looking for - was all forgotten, and they try to talk you to buy something they recommend you buy, rather than help you get what you need. Even worse, they know you are very new to guns and how to use them - and they make you feel you have a mountain to climb and they consciously or unconsciously add to your anxiety another layer of doubt that the potential to be able to protect yourself and your loved ones will not be an easy task even after coming to the store and talking to them. Then we met Keith who's the exact antidote to the added anxiety, with his years of law-enforcement experience, FFL Certification, an almost 24-hour accessibility and availability with a no-dumb-question approach to his personal one-on-one focused teaching style. He makes the whole experience really stress-free, and his personal style of meeting your specific comfort level then raising your confidence makes him uniquely suited to teach learners who are new to handling firearms, and whose main goal is to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones. For these folks, Keith can make their confidence soar and their money well spent! read more

Great teacher highly recommend taking his class. Fast and easy, and taught me a few things that I have forgotten in the past.

Outstanding and very interesting class. I learned a lot from First Priority Security Consulting. Mr Brown is very knowledgeable and takes his time with you. Excellent instructor. I would truly recommend taking his Firearms Safety course. One stop shop for everything you need. read more

Keith my instructor did an Awesome job!! I left feeling confident and knowledgeable!!! One stop shop for everything you need... Will definitely return. read more

AWESOME instructor! Highly knowledgeable & professional! Friendly and fun! Keith truly cares about building your skill with a firearm, and learning how to be both safe & a "bad-ass"! :) It was only my 3rd or 4th time at the range, but my first time with Keith. He taught me so much more, and improved my precision, in just one hour (& about 100 rounds). I'm even more inspired to keep learning. I will definitely keep working with and supporting Keith for all my firearms, safety & security needs!! read more

Well, we submitted forms for a doj fbi background check, we sent our employee there, and they did CA only, no fbi check. When I called they insisted they had done it correctly and whatever we asked for, then eventually checked the form and admitted they didn't transfer the info correctly and we had checked it on our form. No offer of refund, even though this is completely useless to us and means a vital person cannot start work on time now. So we are going to have someone who can't work because we chose the wrong company to do this important task. You can't make these kinds of basic errors on something as important as a background check. No idea what these folks are doing in the security business. The positive reviews are almost all for firearm training. For background check, we found them worse than useless and threw us off schedule and down a key person. It isn't right, and instead of an apology I got a bunch of attitude and hung up on. read more

Keith is an excellent firearm instructor. I highly recommend him for your firearm training. I'll definitely be going back for extra training. read more

The hubby and I both went to train with Keith and get our licenses. It was a comprehensive training that left us both feeling comfortable and confident that we can safely handle a gun. The training included safety education, maintenance, technique and more. We both enjoyed the time spent and have no doubts Keith is amongst (if not) the most knowledgeable in this field. Bonus: the environment was comfortable (he was a gracious host and had snacks and water available) and the training we selected included an hour of supervision at the range, which we will schedule for a future date. Per my husband "every moment of that training was valuable". read more

Mr. Brown is an outstanding teacher/instructor! He is very thorough and precise with what he puts on the table for a student. His experience and patience speaks for itself. I took his FSC instructor course and you can tell he is knowledgeable and not selfish to share his tips for success in the gun business. If you're looking to become part of the gun community and security consulting make it your First Priority. read more

Keith is a awesome instructor who definitely knows his stuff. I could tell that Keith has the ability to teach all personality types and also the ability to make you understand and absorb the correct and important information that sticks with you. Keith made me feel comfortable to learn. I highly recommend taking his courses and will continue being a loyal customer indeed. You won't be disappointed at all. Thanks Keith for your services.... read more

be careful buying a firearm from him. Quotes a price and then once you give a deposit pressures you to increase the amount you'll pay uses the supply and demand tactic. He did refund the deposit which I'm thankful for. read more

I've always been intimidated by guns. However, Keith is a great instructor and he put me and my friends at ease. His class is very thorough in promoting gun safety and use. His instructions at the firing range were very helpful and guided me quickly towards proficiency and accuracy. I highly recommend First Priority for anyone looking for a safe and educational lesson in gun usage. read more

So far I've only been to Keith to get my finger prints done for a job, but he was friendly and professional. He told me about the other services he offers and my husband and I are planning to return to get our firearm training and certification from him soon. read more

If you are looking for a place that provides everything from firearm safety Certificate, sales, repairs and firearm training, First Priority Security Consulting is the right place to be. Mr. Keith is a fantastic instructor. He is patient and very knowledgeable. My next class will be how to break down a firearm for cleaning. read more

Keith is the best!! I scheduled an hour with him for 1 on 1 firearms training. I'm not a total noob, but recently purchased some new firearms and wanted to have someone on standby to review my safety, range etiquette, firearm handling process etc. Although I still have alot to work on Keith helped me with some critical issues such as grip, sighting, breathing etc. to accelerate my improvement. It was a great mix of verbal instruction and practical application (Shooting!!!:) Keith is super nice and patient and seems to have a no-question-too-dumb policy. Definitely call him if you need firearms training it is 100% worth it!!! read more

Great class!! Mr. Brown is an EXCELLENT instructor! He was very professional, thorough and provided me with the very information I needed to ease my fear of firearms. He was very patient and would not move forward with the next lesson until he was assured that his instructions were clear and demonstrated by the student. I came away feeling confident in my ability to protect myself if or when needed and a complete understanding of gun laws at both state and federal levels. read more

My wife and I along with another couple took our basic pistol course through Keith at FPSC, with our wives also taking the test for their Safety Certificates. We thoroughly enjoyed the class, Keith is a very charismatic speaker and he interjects plenty of light humor as well as real-world experiences into his teaching and discussion and that really helps to keep students engaged and entertained. Several hours of theory before getting to put your hands on a firearm sounds like it could be tedious, but it's really not because Keith is very easy to listen to, the time literally flies by. It was great that we practiced with airsoft guns first since our wives were a little apprehensive about a handgun to begin with, so by the time we got to the range for some real shooting, not only were they ready to try but they did great and walked away with not only a lot of confidence but they actually really enjoyed the experience and are chomping at the bit now to get back to the range and practice some more. All-in-all a great experience. read more
