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.

I had a great experience with FFL. I will definitely use them again in the near future.read more

While I am a member of IWLA's ARL-FFX chapter, I gotta say that the NRA HQ Shooting range is not a…read morebad place for me to shoot now and then. Especially since the pistol and rifle ranges at my club are outdoors, it's convenient to come here when it's super windy or super rainy. You don't have to be an NRA member to shoot here, but you do get a discount. Also, there are no gun rentals at this range -- if you wanna shoot, bring your own firearms. They also have range rules on what ammo you can shoot, and they will check your ammo before they assign you a range. Thankfully, they have ammo for sale if your ammo isn't shootable at the range, and/or you forgot your ammo. If it's your first time coming to the range, you will be required to take a range safety test (if you're an average shooter with common sense, it's nearly impossible to fail unless you're intentionally trying to fail). Once you pass, you get a range card that you have to pay for, but once you buy it, you never have to pay again (unless you misplace it). Also, ladies: I recommend coming out on Thursday night! Not only do you get a discount on your range reservation, but you also get a free range card on your first visit! All in all, the NRA HQ range is great. As long as you follow the rules, it is not a bad place to shoot.

I want to give a huge shoutout to the staff at the National Rifle Association. I thought I had lost…read moremy wallet while I was there, and without me even having to ask, one of the gentlemen immediately went back and reviewed the security footage to help figure out where I may have left it. The entire staff genuinely helped look for it and treated the situation like it mattered to them too. What really amazed me was that a few days later, I actually received a follow-up phone call asking if I had found my wallet. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of these days. Sadly, true customer service feels lost nowadays, so when a company goes above and beyond like this, it deserves to be recognized. Thank you to everyone there for your kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help. It truly meant a lot.

I've gone as far as to email them, i've called multiple times and gone to the store to be told come back another day but i keep getting told I'll receive a callback, but no one ever follows up. At this point I don't even know if the firearm has shipped, is backordered, or is sitting in the store. The lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable, especially for something as straightforward as a standard, in-stock firearm. I understand delays happen, but going over a month with no clear answer and no proactive communication is poor customer service. I've now had to consider canceling the order or disputing the charge just to get a resolution but i've strung along past their policy time period Would not recommend ordering through their warehouse fulfillment unless you're okay with being left in the dark.
