Came for a class this weekend. It's dirt berms up against mountain. Nothing special. We had to…read morepick up brass when done...just luke most other places in AZ. For my money, living in Tucson and having access to some excellent, affordable ranges, the only appeal would be ease of full auto permission. Not worth the drive up, there are not a lot of permanent structures/ amenities...and membership is expensive.

Hubs needed a refresher course to reapply for his CCW, and I figured what they hey -- I may as well…read moretag along and get mine again, too. My brother previously had attended this course and highly recommended Arizona Home Defense and Virgil. I called and spoke with the instructor, Virgil, who was able to get hubs and I booked into class the very next evening. yay! We showed up and Virgil had everyone's paperwork set up, so we could start filling everything out for the background check and fingerprints before class, which was awesome so we wouldn't have to sit there after the course to get everything done. The course itself was great -- short, sweet, to the point. Virgil gave us the information quickly and thoroughly covered required materials. He has a lot of experience/knowledge in guns overall and has a great sense of humor, however, if you offend easily, wear earmuffs or quietly bleep all the f-bombs in your head while he talks. I, personally, thought he was hilarious and the f-bombs didn't bother me (military guys use it 17 times in a sentence with 25 words, haha). After the course we got our fingerprints taken and were on our way, completed paperwork in hand (YOU have to mail the paperwork in for the CCW card but all instructions are included with your packet). I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take a CCW class... you'll thank me later that you didn't spend an excruciating whole day training on material that Virgil can deliver to you in one evening.

There was nobody at the front desk but I was told by someone at the counter they would get someone to help me. I asked again after 10 minutes and was told I was waiting for Trinity. After waiting a few minutes longer I left. Any business that doesn't show more interest in renewing annual memberships for good customers is not where I want to spend my time. Addition to review: I appreciate your response to my review, but what you describe is not what I experienced this morning. I did not observe it to be busy; there were no customers at the counter when I was there. Nobody explained the reason for the wait was because Trinity was helping maintain range safety during an especially busy day. Expressing a little appreciation for someone who wants to renew an annual membership, explaining why there is a wait and asking if I have the time to wait would have resulted in a much better customer experience.
