I was reluctant to take this course online because I felt like I wouldn't get the education experience needed to be ready to handle a gun or have the knowledge to understand when a gun can and should be used. I was proven wrong. The instructor did an excellent job at communicating what needed to be communicated in the course and I feel confident knowing what I do now about concealed carry.

I was impressed with the entire presentation but was most impressed with the advice for how to act when pulled over by a police officer. As citizens we never think about the stress of the situation for the officer who is approaching our car. Thanks and good job.

I enjoyed this course and learned a lot. My only issue was references to females as "little ladies" and "the missus" which was a bit condescending. However, the effectiveness and excellent communication and instruction skills of Mr Graybeal made up for these shortcomings. I strongly recommend this course for anyone.

Class covered numerous areas that were very important to me since I will be a new gun owner soon. Was able to stay focused since the instructor was not only very knowledgeable but added a little humor at times. Look forward to taking the Concealed Carry Two in the future. Thanks, Kenny

Overall the class was good and was very well taught. The only thing I disagree with is when you get pulled over by law-enforcement the very first thing you should do is let them know you have a firearm before you start reaching for your drivers license and registration. But other than that the overall instructions for this class was excellent.

Good coverage of the basic things to think about. Appreciated having the laws covered well, as well as the discussion of the use of deadly force, with scenarios. A bonus was the information on choosing a firearm and the maintenance information. Overall well done. I look forward to shopping at SafeSide and to using the range.
