I walked into Guns for Everyone as a skinny white guy with what I'll admit was a bit of an attitude - thinking I already knew what I needed about carrying concealed. Edgar completely changed my perspective in ways I didn't expect. What sets this class apart is that Edgar doesn't just teach you how to shoot - he makes you seriously think about WHEN and WHY you might need to use your firearm. His approach to situational awareness, and understanding the legal and ethical responsibilities of carrying is absolutely top-notch. The training wasn't just about marksmanship; it was about mindset. Edgar has this way of cutting through the noise and making you confront some uncomfortable realities about self-defense scenarios. He challenged my preconceptions and made me realize that carrying a gun is about far more than just having the hardware - it's about having the judgment to know when NOT to use it. I left that class with a completely different outlook on concealed carry - more humble, more aware, and much better prepared. If you're thinking about getting your concealed carry permit or already have one but want to truly understand the responsibilities that come with it, you owe it to yourself to take Edgar's class. This is the kind of training that could literally save your life - or keep you from making the biggest mistake of your life. read more

Colorado has rediculous and downright oppressive gun laws. Guns For Everyone knows that and really tries to make the mandatory classes for a concealed weapons permit as painless and inexpensive as possible. The four hour class is informative and humorous. It's delivered by a self proclaimed "fat Mexican" and he really does a great job making everyone feel at ease while putting out some great information. His friendly banter about race really breaks the ice and makes a really dry and dull topic as fun as it can be. Guns For Everyone really fills a need in the Colorado gun community and I highly recommend this business. read more

See all

Fantastic organization! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a CCW training certification.

Edgar is a knowledgeable instructor that gives science based information. He is also entertaining.

My husband and I took thIs CCW class and I wasn't sure what to expect since it's free. Edgar was GREAT! He's funny and infuses the class with a lot of humor. He's also very knowledgeable and he covers an incredible amount of info in 3.5hrs. He warns people that he curses at the beginning - and he not joking about that - Frankly, we felt even more comfortable since he sounded like one of our crew. I appreciated that he wasn't a "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of instructor - in fact, he reiterated the value of human life and reinforced that no material possessions are worth taking a life. Smart gun ownership and the belief that guns are for protecting lives. They are a "no BS" type of small business and definitely earned a donation for the class he provided! We'll be taking part of other classes with Guns for Everyone. read more

I loved the law focused class! Edgar is funny and interactive! I will be attending the other classes and courses they offer in the future. Thanks GFE that was a lot of fun! Keep up the good fight! read more

These guys rock! One of the best classes I've ever sat through. Edgar had us all rolling after his jokes, and thinking deeply about his incredible common sense about gun laws and safety. I would recommend this class to anyone and everyone. Changed my whole perspective on reasons to carry concealed. Very informative! read more

Appreciate the thought of a free class Told the class was free and it was Was also told if I didn't give a donation that I was a piece of shit Direct quote Lots of cussing Lots of racial overtones read more

me and the spouse took this course a couple years back. Yep, you get what you pay for but I believe we did get more then that. We were willing to make a small donation for the certificate. The only thing we didn't get was 'hands on' training but as I am comfortable with my ability and have had military training as well as some 'police' training.....I was good with the program as presented. If you need more, certainly, go for a standard class with hands on training. read more

Signed up for the class and just got back from giant waste of time. They are not located where they say they are, couldn't find them, and yes, I know directions, I have solo backpacked for 5 days over 30 miles and found my way. Glad I didn't donate online since I would have wasted my money. S C A M ! ! ! ! ! ! read more

This is me proving to Edgar (NRA Certified Instructor and owner of Guns For Everyone) that not all "Yelpers" are bad. I attended the GFE Concealed Carry certification last night and it was nothing short of amazing. It's the perfect balance of legal knowledge, practical application, anecdotal evidence and stellar presentation skills. I'm going to sign my wife up and then attend again because I learned so much the first time around. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to go down the path of handgun ownership whether they are looking for a concealed carry permit or not. BOOM FOOL where you at now Edgar?? read more

This class was amazing Instructor was really funny and very knowledgeable couldnt imagine a better class and hes a bit of an acquired taste lol inside class joke read more

Fantastic class, great info, and hilarious throughout. Edgar does an awesome job of keeping everyone engaged and interested. Anyone who complains about them asking for donations at the end is just being a cheap dick. If you could afford gas money to the class, you can cough up a few bucks for the people who worked hard to deliver the class. read more

This is a fantastic class! Instructor is very knowledgeable, funny and honest. If you are planning to attend go ahead and donate. This is worth it!! read more

I work with a really nice young man who told me about Edgar and was wondering is this worth taking now? I ran into hard times around 7 years back(nothing with the law) got laid off so my child support accumulated to the amount of the $15,000 ballpark. got my job back and have made every single payment for 4 years. Great relationship with my ex wife and 3 children. I guess my question is.. will I be denied to a CCW because I owe arrears which are almost done? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of assisting me with this knowledge. read more

Edgar was engaging, relevant, and personal. Taught the facts very clearly and clarified any and all questions well. He kept focus with humor and real life examples. Guns For Everyone is an amazing resource! read more

Great staff, good prices on accessories, great price on FFl transfers. The staff seems very family oriented and had a great conversation with them. I will definitely be using them again for transfers! read more

My husband and I took this class and loved it! It was very informative and we appreciated his honesty on hard topics. Not only that but he's super funny! If you're immature and get offended easily go somewhere else. We were told the class would be free however he does ask for donations and we gladly gave. He deserves it so if you plan on attending a descent person would plan on putting in a contribution before even going. read more

Great class super informative and an enjoyable class I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in getting their concealed certification. Edgar was awesome great personality and kept everyone super engaged. I will definitely send family and friends to GUNS FOR EVERYONE and Edgar for their concealed carry certificate. Thanks for an awesome, entertaining, and informative class Edgar.... read more

Just took a class with Edgar and I must say impressive! Highly recommend, yes he curses and makes fun of stereotypes but let's face it he is funny as hell! Not only was the class entertaining but very informative. read more

This is not a free class. The instructor makes it clear that a non tax deductible donation is required. The instructor gives an unfocused lecture that is centered on his personal biases. read more

I took their free class years ago and it was great !! You can give a donation and of course I did who wouldn't when these classes can be expensive !! read more

Great class. Excellent store. Incredibly knowledgeable and funny instructor. The time went quickly because he was very engaging. Caution - he is certainly blunt and an acquired taste so if you are easily offended it isn't your environment. But the majority of folks will enjoy the experience. We certainly did!!! read more

If you have a chance to take one of their classes I 100% recommend doing so. Edgar is excellent and takes what could be a very dry subject and turns it into a great experience. His passion and knowledge on the subject are extremely evident. If you don't learn something from his class, I'd think it may have been your own fault. He invites you to ask questions often, answers all questions, and doesn't make anyone feel stupid for any questions they ask. He is very knowledgeable, so make sure you create your best experience and take advantage of his wealth of weapon information. Range time is allowed for by appointment and one is told CLEARLY AND REPEATEDLY prior to class. If you're thinking of taking classes, stop thinking and let your sister sign you and a couple friends up. Or sign yourself up. You will learn stuff and enjoy the experience. It is 100% free for the conceal class I took but this guy definitely deserves tons of donations for his efforts! Please remember to donate if you can! read more

I was excited about the class, but was readily disappointed. I feel like we got more offensive jokes than we did course content around gun laws. Gun safety and laws were covered briefly. Some of his jokes are funny, but others are quite offensive and denigrating, particularly if you are of a minority group. Does not make the space welcoming particularly if you are female and says "bitches" frequently. Additionally, if you are cautious with COVID, I would not enter. Most people were not wearing masks at the training; neither masks or social distancing were enforced. read more

We had a class this evening with Edgar and oh my goodness - he is hilarious and an amazing teacher! He is real, to the point and adds so much fun to the long course! Plus, it's free! You know someone is full of genuine quality and cares about other people when they provide services for 10+ years at no cost! Keep on keepin' on Guns For Everyone!! read more

Amazing class. Highly recommended. As to other reviews- I read the reviews. I was prepared for bad language, lack of political correctness, and pressure to donate. The bad language was there- but less than is frequently used at my workplace (hospital job). And we were warned at the beginning. He may have read the "what people can make jokes at what groups expense without being racist" manual that comedians seem to live by. He certainly had a lot to say about hispanics- his origin. He threw in one comment about how caucasians are less likely to be targeted by police- "complexion protection". That was it. He did make a number of comments about people wearing masks/covid- and backed it up with statistics about death rates. He then turned around and made fun of people who carry guns- because statistically you're more likely to die of covid than an armed robbery. The perspective was really nice to be honest. For the legal section, he posted the current laws as he went over them. And pointed out the exact wording "because words matter." I've been to 2 other state ccw classes and it was nice seeing someone actually show the statutes rather than being didactic. I learned a lot. He made one comment about how donating helps the class continue. That was it. Zero pressure. A lot of us did donate- worth every penny- but he even had separate lines at the end, one to donate if you wanted and one to have your class certificate signed- with so much mixing between the two noone could have possibly told who donated and who didn't. I've been many places where the donation spot is in line right before or after the mandatory spot. This was zero pressure. Edgar was entertaining, funny, and blunt. The only negative I can think of is that the metal chairs were a little cold at the beginning of class, 1030AM in winter. Recommended. read more

Very well presented class. Edgar clearly knows his stuff. Highly recommend this training for anyone seeking a concealed carry permit.

My boyfriend and I took this conceal carry class today. Not only is this class FREE, which is super convenient considering we're low on money as college students, but it was taught by the most wonderful and enthusiastic man. He had the whole class practically rolling on the floor of laughter the entire time. His humor was enlightening and fun. The class was extremely interesting and surprisingly fast-paced. A 3 1/2 hour class seems miserably long, but it absolutely flew by because of the way it was taught. There was no bull shit in this conceal class. I was never bored and I never felt like we were going over dry or useless information. It was straight forward and highlighted the most important information for those inquiring about gun ownership. Guns for Everyone is an AMAZING organization. I guarantee anyone would love this class. I want to have a beer with the instructor, he was a very cool guy. The business also seemed very family oriented which I enjoyed. I highly recommend this place for getting educated to obtain your permit! read more

This class was informative and enjoyable. Edgar is a great teacher with a friendly style that is engaging and encourages discussion. There is an emphasis on the value of human life. He uses a lot of humor and colorful language and is very approachable. Every question was answered and he took the time to speak with people afterward. If you're easily offended and have no sense of humor, this is not the class for you. If you want a down to earth informative class to set you in the right direction for CCW and gun ownership in general, I would highly recommend this place. They are passionate about what they do. read more

This was a quality presentation of factual content. After reading other reviews if you are a humorless moron easily offended you may want to spend hard earned cash elsewhere. I was indeed worried that you get what you pay for but contrary to my expectations the class was quite beneficial. The instructor has a Colorado sense of humor and pragmatic approach useful in most situations. If you were expecting an NRA caliber cowboy type you will be disappointed. read more

Hands down the BEST CCW class in town!! If you want to learn & actually remember everything.. go here! They are funny enough to keep you laughing & knowledgeable enough to teach you more than you ever expected! My family brought me to a class in 2014 & I HAD to bring my kids (in their mid-late 20's so calm down! ) :) HANDS DOWN.... BEST PLACE IN TOWN (& learn how to google the address.. it works wonders) HA!! read more

Just took the concealed carry class and it was great. I was skeptical at first like most when seeing free but I show up and it completely real. Edgar was an amazing instructor and I would highly recommend you to check them out. Seriously amazing read more

The CCW class was truly exceptional. The instructor, Edgar, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and entertaining. His passion for the subject was very clear, and his presentation style was a perfect. He could really be a successful stand-up comedian; however, this did not distract from treating a serious topic seriously. I cannot recommend this class highly enough for anyone considering applying for a CCW permit. read more

Edgar has a great Sense of Humor and very knowledgeable about the Laws on guns and just a general love for GUNS and to teach how to use a pistol right. and help you feel comfortable holding. I would love to take the 8 hour free class waiting to learn more... TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN words to love by.. read more

I've taken a few ccw classes in different states and this was the best yet. Edgar's teaching style and different approach to the usual shoot first and ask questions later was a refreshing change. It goes far beyond Colorado's minimum requirements because Edgar is so passionate about what he teaches and covers a lot of scenarios you may not have considered. Skip the subpar Groupon churn em out classes and come here for free! They are supported by donations, and I donated twice the amount I originally planned, feeling it was well spent! read more

Did not expect much being a free class. I was surprised. Very informative and Edgar makes the class fun while still teaching. Learned things that I had never thought of. Great class!!! read more

It was an excellent class, so much better than I expected for a free course very educational and informative learned a great deal, now I can get my CCW read more

I attended the free Concealed Carry class in early March. This is the class that's mandated by the State of Colorado if you wish to get a permit to carry a concealed hand gun. And that's right, I said 'free'. If you had to pay for this class, you would be charged anywhere from $75.00 to $150.00. And despite the usual rule of 'you get what you pay for', I have to say the class and the instructor, Edgar Antillon, were just fantastic. And that's something when you are attending a mandatory class that can stretch to over five hours. Even including a dinner break, that's a long class. Edgar is an excellent teacher, and more importantly he has what I would consider the best philosophy possible for a CCW teacher to have. He's not arrogant, or superior, and he doesn't have the kind of attitude you often find in gun shops and shooting ranges. What he is, is cheerful, enthusiastic, and concerned that everyone know their rights and just as importantly their responsibilities. He makes you think, and that's a good thing. I am looking forward to taking more classes from him in the near future. read more
