There was a lot of information covered, but he presented everything in a real-world, practical way that was easy to understand and apply. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable and informed throughout the class. You could tell he genuinely cared about safety, responsibility, and making sure we understood not just the laws, but how things work in real-life situations. We all really enjoyed the class and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality firearms training.

Sheena is very responsive to schedule sessions and Keith is very patient. He has a very calm teaching style that made me feel very comfortable. Since my training, I am more educated on self-defense laws, have my conceal carry training certificate and feel comfortable going to the range by myself to shoot my personal firearm. The instructor helped me choose my first firearm that I fit my needs. I recommend Trouble Defense to anyone. From individuals not comfortable with firearms to experienced people that want to sharpen their skills. As a result of my awesome experience, I plan to continue to use their services!

Andy Roger's class on was comprehensive and informative on Virginia law, guns, and gun safety. He…read morewas very polite and a patient teacher, who happily answered all our questions. Andy emphasized safety and was kind enough to add on the Utah Concealed Permit course for those who were interested directly following the Conceal Carry Permit Class. He offered full service including fingerprinting, passport photos, and helped us fill out our applications at no extra cost to the Utah class. I appreciated having an instructor that is professional and not only knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, but who genuinely cares about his fellow citizens being able to defend themselves and practice their constitutional rights. I read a previous review mentioning race, and the insinuation is absurd. Eight out of ten students in the class were African American and Latino, and there were only two men in the class on that particular Saturday. Everyone was treated with inclusion, dignity, and respect. If you have any interest in taking the class, do so. It is money well spent, and you will have a great time and meet nice people.

He is an absolutely amazing teacher--gun expertise is a given (he has it across the board), but patience and flexibility aren't--and he has those as well, in spades. In a matter of weeks I went from not being able to hold a gun (and being pretty frightened on the range) to developing solid fundamentals and leaving with much greater comfort with both the gun itself and the range. He is the best teacher for beginners (and probably fo more advanced shooters as well); I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially for private instruction!
