"Josh did a great job as our concealed carry instructor. He kept the class interesting and shared a wealth of information and examples. His insights has improved my awareness. I definitely benefited greatly from being in his class and hope I can take other classes he offers. Jenni was also a huge help in making for a great experience. She had many things to contribute to the class. The amount of the behind the scenes work she does to make our end easier is immeasurable and is very much appreciated!! Thank You Josh & Jenni !!!"
