With all the uncertainty in the world these days, I now feel more confident that I will be able to protect my family and myself if a situation calls.

You can tell he has many years of experience both tactical and medical. He has a good sense of humor just don't lie to him, or you're in for some roasting lol. After taking the course, I feel much more confident in carrying a firearm. Overall, I had a great experience taking the course and would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about firearms, medical, or obtaining their CCW. Hint he likes pizza!

I recently had the pleasure of taking CJs 2 part course, and the time seemed to literally fly by…read more I learned so much about safety as it relates to carrying , storing and taking few different hand guns apart. We were able to watch and analyze some world events that took place due to recklessness and lack of gun safety and it was a small class so we were able to deep dive onto questions and scenarios without feeling rushed. The class had a variety of ages which was also nice to be able to meet new people of various backgrounds with a common goal of increased safety and comfort with hand guns. The staff were warm and professional and I can't wait to complete my course.

As for your satisfaction, I am attaching the receipts of courses I took from you or your associates. Multi-State CCW : Feb 23, 2020 Precision Rifle: May 14, 2022 Red Dot: May 21, 2022 CCW Renewal: Jan 21, 2023 Out of 4 classes I took, Red Dot and Precision Rifle were not even worth 1 star. And for both courses, I came with friend/s and all of them agreed to my statement. If you want I can ask them to leave a review too. As for your statement on refund, please feel free to do it. Venmo @desijedi or Zelle desijedi08@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial Review: Have taken 4 classes in last 5 years and quality has declined exponentially. What used to be awesome is now just a money making business with no emphasis on education or proper training. Will avoid going to Spartan/Fidel and I will suggest others to do the same. Don't be fooled by bunch of various course offerings, not worth the price at all.

Excellent experience and a lot of fun, good conversation with our assistant, Bill, and scenario training. I highly recommend for all firearm owners, and especially CCW holders. We had some great scenario and self-defense conversations during our dinner afterwards. Again, if you own a firearm and would ever use it for self-defense, you should be having these conversations with those you love and would be defending. While this isn't a replacement for live fire training, it is an excellent compliment to it. Trigger reset is accurate, and if you want recoil, the Glock with co2 gives adequate feedback.

I was very impressed from my first interaction with Joe Leonardo. His team is made up of professionals with a tremendous amount of experience in law enforcement and professional firearm training. Their discipline and thoroughness permeates everything that they do, from preparing students for the class, through the running of the class, both in the classroom and on the range. The course not only instructs students in the proper use of their firearm, but includes critically important lessons regarding scenarios, proper responses, and how to think about and prepare for various scenarios. The course expanded my knowledge and capabilities significantly, but also reminded me that training is a journey vs. a destination. The most important takeaways for me were the reminder of the importance of ongoing training, proper practice, and developing and reinforcing good behaviors. Joe, Nick, and team are great instructors, and I look forward to taking more courses with them. If others want to develop their skills from solid professionals with discipline, patience, and a passion for doing things correctly, LEO Defensive Concepts is a great option.

Of course none of us were informed of this and the owner, Joe Leonardo allowed this without a waiver from the students. Great, just what I need a picture of me with a gun.
