Response from the owner:Thank you Brother—I appreciate you! 🫡
Paco is very educated and a great person.
Response from the owner:Thanks Mo!
This course was much more informative than I initially expected. Most CCW types of courses I have looked into or have had to take relative to work related requirements were not as complete. This course covers many things that the general public should be made aware of so that they do not continue to demonize the idea of firearms ownership and use. Especially when CCW holders have helped and saved potential victims in many states across the United States.
Well worth the fee for this course.
Response from the owner:Thank you Cristobal—I appreciate you taking my CCW non-resident course.
