We have YET to receive the refund. Also, when Covid has gotten so bad and my wife as a nurse thought it would be best for us to not take the class. I emailed Peter multiple times to ask for a refund (I understand he has a no refund policy) my wife and I thought he would be understanding by this since she is around people with Covid all the time, and we were doing what was best for us and keeping people in the class safe. I to this day still have no received my refund nor have a received a email reply. I have called his office multiple times but I am getting no call back. Very disappointed. Not a place I would recommend for someone to go. I didn't know it would be that hard to see that my wife goes through seeing people with Covid and putting her life on the line, and Peter can't even give us our refund. So sad.

I was introduced to Alan and PP Plus through a friend who also took the class here. We did the course on a Wed. We only had 3 people in the class, two had never handled a gun before, one male one female. They both left pretty excited about the experience and shooting pretty well I was actually really impressed with Alans attention to Safety details but also he coached them on marksmenship. The class took a good portion of the day and then we went to the range where Alan had 10 guns of many different calibers and sizes for the class to shoot. NET NET what a great experience. I feel safe and secure with handguns after my time with Alan and Pistol Protection Plus. Really great experience. This is the place to get your concealed carry pistol permit in CT.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease, which was a huge deal for me--I came in with a real fear of guns. Dan, our instructor, completely transformed that fear into confidence and respect through his patient and professional approach. Dan is simply incredible. He has a calm, non-intimidating teaching style that puts even the most nervous students (like me!) at ease. He never rushed the process, took his time with each of us individually, and ensured that we understood the safety procedures, handling, and mechanics of a firearm before moving on. I never felt pressured or overwhelmed at any point during the training. One of the standout things about this class is how thorough and hands on it is. Dan not only explained the laws and safety rules clearly but also guided us step-by-step through all the state and local paperwork required to obtain our gun permits. He made sure everything was filled out correctly and answered every question with patience and clarity. What really impressed me was how focused the course was on safety, responsibility, and proper mindset. This wasn't just about checking a box to get a permit--this was real education and empowerment. By the end of the class, I felt confident, informed, and prepared--not just to legally own a firearm, but to handle one safely and respectfully. I'm honestly looking forward to taking more advanced classes with Dan and his wife in the future. If you're looking into getting your pistol permit, or if you're nervous like I was, don't hesitate, this is the class to take. You'll walk out smarter, safer, and stronger. Thank you for a great class and thank you for serving!

I recently took the pistol permit (one day) class with Joe and his staff, which is offered on…read morealternating Saturdays and Sundays. I found their groupon deal, which was one of the most reasonable priced places in the area. Joe was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what he does. They also offer add on services like passport sized photos and notarizing of your paperwork, at an extra (but nominal) fee. Additionally, they offer various other classes, like security training, CPR/first aid, self defense, etc. as well as 1:1 firearm instruction. Their classroom was a bit tight, as the class I attended had a large number of people in attendance. There wasn't enough space between the rows of tables and chairs to get up without everyone in the row needing to also stand up for the people sitting on the inside against the wall. A bit distracting, but that is my only (negative) feedback. Also, to note: the morning half of the instruction is in the classroom followed by a (lunch) break of one hour. Then, everyone is expected to meet up at the gun range (Delta Arsenal in Wallingford about 20 minutes away) for the hands-on portion of the class, where you get to shoot/practice with an instructor. I had assumed we would be shooting at the nearby gun range in Orange, but it wasn't a huge deal. Just might be helpful, so attendees can know what to expect before signing up. Most of the 2 hours in the range was spent waiting, as they do provide 1:1 time with Joe or one of his staff while shooting. You can shoot the basic hand gun or "buy up" to try a range of different sized guns for $20 extra. You get a signed certificate at the end of the class which you can submit to your city/town with your full pistol permit application and Joe makes himself available during that process, should you need help or advice.
