That part of it was really good, and if that's all that there was to say it would be a higher rating. But... here's where the stars start to go down. 1st up, this is not a class room environment so know that going in. It's in his home, in his living room on a couch. Which isn't terrible except that you're sitting on a couch for 5+ hours which is super uncomfortable. 2nd up, they bring in a salesman that will pitch you lawyer insurance essentially and that took up over an hour of time (which made us go an hour over time) Lastly, I would say they could have handled the admin/fingerprinting part a little better. They waited until the last 20 minutes of the supposed class time to start this process for 10+ people which as you can tell, took forever. I think if they just focused on getting a better environment for the class, getting rid of the salesman, and being a little better with time management they could increase the stars.

He clearly knows his stuff and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand, whether you're brand new or have some experience. I walked away feeling way more confident and informed, not just about the laws but about responsible carrying in general. If you're on the fence about taking a class, this is 100% worth it--Chris makes the time fly by.

I recently took a concealed carry class through ASDI and was really disappointed with the…read moreexperience. The first instructor spent a large part of the class on unrelated political topics -- including Sharia law, Islam, and the current Virginia governor -- instead of focusing on firearm safety or laws. It felt more like a political soapbox than an educational course. The second instructor did stay more on topic, but then shifted into promoting a legal protection membership (USCCA) that costs about $400 a year, which came across more like a sales pitch than meaningful training. Overall, I left feeling that the class didn't deliver what was advertised. I expected professional instruction on concealed carry requirements, but instead got politics and promotions. I don't think it was worth what I paid, and I'd hesitate to recommend it to others unless the course content is refocused on actual firearms education.

Nic Lindsey adds a personal…read moretouch that exceeds expectations with his genuine concern for everyone in his class to receive a thorough understanding of the law, as well as safety and handling. He abundantly shared his knowledge, experience and expertise with an unsurpassed compassion for the respect and responsibility that comes with the territory of carrying and operating a concealed weapon. I am looking forward to continuing with further training courses offered by Tactical Advantage!

This is a top notch facility to begin with and their train programs are exceptional, however that is for a different review. So Day one was a defensive rifle class. Essentially a steroid laden defensive pistol class using carbines AND pistols. What's not to like so far right? This class is built on the premise that, a student could be a SOTA team member or a 1st time beginner. Day two was just pistols. Defensive, real world self defense, in home, and out, pistol tactics. Once again, skill level is NOT a requisite. Run what you brung, and learn the ins and outs of it and you! These guys have an exceptionally vast amount of knowledge and experience they are willing to share, and to top it off they are genuinely great guys to just sit and talk to. If you looking to take a quality, tool building, weapons class, these guys are your answer. I've taken several and these are BY FAR, a couple of the most comprehensive and inclusive classes I've taken.
