The school itself seems safe and it is small so your kids get a lot of attention…read more it's not a school for minorities. I was told by the teacher not to expect the kids to attend my child's birthday party and conversely she was never invited to one. I was not added to group communications. We know that these attitudes tend to be fostered by the their environment which is created by those in charge. It does seem that the woman in charge would share in this sentiment. As an example, the 'principal' took it upon herself to greet me at the door to say that my child could not bring her Yeti lunch bag. Apparently, in the course of running the school, my child's snackpack bothered her. As a religious institution, I don't THINK they get any government funding, because of course, the government can't fund any institutions that advocate discrimination based on suspect classes. As a religious organization, it does have a 501(c)(3) status, however and that is granted by the governmeny so that's something to think about, however.

He will stop and work with you, He has no issues answering questions. I have to say the Class was better then I thought. I left there with my Certificate as my husband did as well. Woody took the time to show me why my shooting was off. I will be going back to him for addtional classes. So with that being said, I highly Recommed this Class. And having Woody as a Instructor. He is all about safety and that is the way it should be. Woody and his Wife Dolly are amazing people, with this being a 8 hour class, yes it is long but, he supplies coffee,drinks and Lunch and snacks. And plenty of breaks. Thanks for everything Woody!

I really want to give this class a good review because the people that ran it (Charles "Chuck"…read moreElrod and his wife Peggy) seemed to be pretty nice people overall. However, when trying to think of positive things to write about, few if any existed. To start with, the room where the class is held is a show room for a kitchen remodeling place. It's very hard to find, extremely small, and after spending 8 hours in those god awfully uncomfortable chairs I would have been all too happy to use them for target practice. As for the class itself, Chuck spends half the morning telling colorful stories about his glory days a military sniper and the other half not-so-subtly trying to sell the class various accessories from his gun shop. Then, we take a 20 minute drive to a make shift gun range located behind some random person's home in the woods where Chuck does his best impression of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from "Full Metal Jacket." He doesn't foster a very comfortable atmosphere, especially for those that may have had less experience with firearms. I know all this was in the name of safety, but Chuck could really dial down the intensity. After getting back to the class, we then sat through another four hours of Peggy reading verbatim NC statutes about gun legislation with little to no elaboration other than citing news stories, the majority of which are not set in North Carolina. Bottom line, if you're looking for a course to take to get your concealed carry permit, there are other classes in the area that are cheaper and I don't think its possible for them to be less educational. Best of all, they come without Chuck's testosterone laden drill sergeant act.

I was so excited about enrolling in the class that was going to allow me to apply for my CCW…read morepermit. But my excitement was quickly and thoroughly dashed upon stepping into the loading dock section of Agri-Supply in Garner, NC where this class was held. I was greeted with "Yes, sir can I help you?" The problem with that is I am a female. Yes I have short hair and yes, I had a hat on, but I am definitely not a boy. The man who greeted me was Charles "Chuck" Elrod, the instructor, and I knew I was in for a very long day. (According to him, my short hair confused him.) Then I was told that my ammunition was unsatisfactory (still don't know why) and had to purchase another box from HIS gun shop. This experience was not getting any better. So I proceeded to enter the "classroom", which was a space slightly bigger than my bedroom closet, and was told not to adjust the air conditioner because it could go out at any time. The first words that came to mind were "rinky-dink operation." The class was scheduled to begin at 8:00AM, but by the time "Chuck" got around to mentioning anything about our gun training it was 9:15AM. Prior to this, our class of 19 people were talking among ourselves and listening to Chuck drone on and on about his life, what a great gunsmith he thinks he is and (the thing that pissed me off the most) his personal political views. When we finally got to the range (and I use that term loosely), Chuck was the drill sergeant from hell almost to the point of being abusive, especially to the participants who may not have that much experience with shooting. If it wasn't for his son Dustin, I would have left and never looked back. Dustin is very nice, patient and a wonderful teacher. Too bad he wasn't teaching the whole class. When we returned from the range, Chuck's wife Peggy took over for the legal portion of the class. Once again, personal views, especially political, were lectured to us in between reading articles and NC statutes. She told us exactly what to highlight in our hand-out she provided to us (supposed to be a manual according to their emails and website) and referred to herself in the third person most of the time. In conclusion, find another class to take in the area, and there are many, to avoid all the items mentioned above and hopefully you will receive a better educational experience than the one I had. You would be hard pressed to find another class with less pertinent information than this one.
