We spent the morning going over safety procedures at the gun range, shooting from different distances and then we spent the later part of the day learning how we would ideally conduct ourselves while carrying a firearm. And we were also prepared for the next steps to successfully obtain a concealed carry license. Drick is passionate about teaching the community how to handle firearms safely and obtaining the necessary paperwork to do so legally. You will literally have a "blast!" taking this class. I felt like I was sitting down with a cousin who happens to know everything about firearms. So Yes to this! Five out of five! I totally would highly recommend.

I am not currently a gun owner, but I wanted to educate myself on proper usage and the laws regarding gun ownership. I didn't know what to expect but whatever my expectations were, they were greatly exceeded! They were novices such as myself in the class as well as current gun owners and prior military; this was a co-ed class. They had refreshments available, to include good coffee. This is a Black owned business, and I was happy to patronize. I also purchased a unit of pepper gel and a book during our break. We did not go to the range during this class but were told we could go on our own time. I tried to use the "contact us" section of the website to get info about scheduling my range practice. I did not get a response, but this review reminded me to look at pictures I'd taken during class. I have emails and telephone numbers for the instructors, so I'll be reaching out tomorrow. If you're considering taking a course or purchasing a fire arm, you won't be disappointed using Black Diamond.

I attended the class to get my certificate to apply for the NC concealed carry permit, but I left class with so much more. Most importantly I have a greater respect and understanding of my rights and responsibilities as a gun owner. I left feeling more confident in the operation of my firearm and how to safely handle and care for it. Will be heading back for some of their more advanced classes. Great team of professionals.

Very thankful and appreciative to Practical Arms for the Great experience! I've been around guns all my life and shot them as a kid but never knew fully my responsibilities as a gun owner, enthusiast and now NRA member. Practical Arms instructor/owner made the 8 hr mandatory class interesting. Although I thought i was going to fall asleep, the class was up beat, educational and interactive. From the time I walked into Bass Pro Shop to the time I left the range, the entire journey was well worth the trip, time spent, gas burnt and I can't stress enough educational.
