I've never shot a pistol much. As an avid upland game and duck hunter there just isn't much call for them and my shooting on the range the first time proved it. It was terrible. What was impressive was my instructors. They watched me shoot two shots and with a couple of small corrections brought me on target every time. I tell you these guys know their business. Great shooting instrutors that really know their business and I would recommend anyone wanting to take the concealed carry class to check Carry Legal out. It will be money well spent - they bring on new meaning to the word PROFESSIONAL. |
| Shelley Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 |
I attended the 8 hour concealed carry class last weekend and I have to say, it was very informational. I learned so many things about the laws regarding carrying a weapon and many more things about gun safety. I also appreciated the added self defense section. As a woman, it is definately important to be aware of all potential threats. Of course, the most fun was at the shooting range. I've only shot a gun a few times in my life, however, with the tips given to us by Paul and Jeremiah, I was able to stay on target like never before. All in all, it was a wonderful class and I have already begun to suggest it to many of my friends and family members! |
| Brent H. Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 |
My "Carry Legal" class was a great experience. The staff were knowledgable and enthusiastic about the course material and anxious to answer questions. I'd recommend this program to anyone interested in either a simple firearms safety course OR pursuit of a concealed carry permit. Thank you Paul and Randy for your patience and positive attitude. |
| Frances Wells Date: Monday, March 1, 2010 |
This is absolutely wonderful...I learned so much...and highly recommend it. |
| Randy Duncan Date: Monday, March 1, 2010 |
Paul and Randy
I very much enjoyed your class. I have been around guns for a long time; I have been through basic training in the Army. And still you were able to teach me more handgun safety techniques. You kept the class enjoyable. You both gave great instruction on the range as well as in the classroom. I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in proper gun safety and handling guidelines needed to Carry Legal. Sincerely, Randy Duncan |
| Sam Martin Date: Monday, March 1, 2010 |
The class gave me most of the legal information I was looking for, and helpful information on defense and general safety (with or without a firearm), but the most valuable part for myself and several others was the help in marksmanship on the range. Although I had already done some pistol shooting, I look forward to practicing the techniques I learned to continue to improve my shooting. The instructors' enthusiasm was apparent and helped make the class more interesting and interactive. |
| Tasha Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010 |
Paul and Randy are so awesome!! I have been around guns all my life...and this class taught me how to be more accurate when I shoot. The best part is that they don't make you feel like an idiot. They HELP you with out yelling at you and with out making a scene. They teach you not to be afraid of the gun which is what helped me the most. These guys are very knowledgable, entertaining, and helpful. I will totally recommend this class to everyone I know!!! You guys totally rock!! Keep up the STINKIN' AWESOME WORK!!! |
| Brett Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010 |
Paul and Randy are excellent instructors and very well versed on the topic of self defense, gun safety, and the legal aspect of carrying a concealed weapon. The class was entertaining and kept my attention the entire time. I have been shooting for several years and have received a decent amount of military instruction on tactics...Randy worked with me on my grip and trigger control for 10 minutes and after that I shot better than I ever have. These guys are top notch instructors and great people. |
| Sammy Perrotta Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010 |
The class was outstanding, fun, and very educational. Safety was always first and was stressed throughtout the entire class. The new techniques they showed me improved my accuracy. Because of you I will continue with advance classes. Thank You! Sammy Perrotta. |
| Patricia Date: Thursday, February 25, 2010 |
I really enjoyed the concealed carry class I took through Carry Legal. The class was really fun and interesting. The instructors were well informed, very helpful and friendly. They were very safety conscious. I liked the fact that the instruction and actual shooting time were all conducted on the same day. I would highly recommend this class. |
| Keri Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
I have been around guns for a while now and felt as if I was confident with my gun safety. I learned even more with Paul and Randy, they were great and kept the class entertaining. They gave great instruction on the range as well and it made a huge impact on the way that I shot. I would and will recommend this class to anyone who is interested in protecting themselves and family... |
| Robert McFarland Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
Paul,
I very much enjoyed your class. You and your co-instructor Randy gave the class a great deal of useful information and great handgun safety instructions. I would recommend your concealed carry class to anyone interested in obtaining a concealed carry license. Thanks for the great effort made your team to provide us with the proper safety instructions and handling directions needed to Carry Legal. Sincerely, Bob McFarland |
| Tammy Walker Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
My husband, daughter & I attended the concealed carry class this past Saturday and I can say whole heartedly that we learned so much, but more than just that we genuinely had fun doing this as a family. I feel more comfortable with using my firearm if the need ever arises. I also have the peace of mind knowing that my daughter took away alot of knowledge from this class about gun safety and the responsibilities that come with being a gun owner. I give all the instructors big kudos because they kept it educational yet, entertaining. Never a boring moment in class. |
| Floyd Caseboldt Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
The course was great! I was nervous about carrying a gun before I took their course, even for my own protection. But by the time the course was over I felt I had made the right decision. Paul & Randy are great instructors, very knowledgable on safety and Laws concerning carrying legally. They took the time to show each one of us the correct way to hold,aim & shoot,which improved everyone of us. I would recommend Carry Legal to anyone interested. They even made the course fun! Thanks Guys, really enjoyed it. |
| Jack Hadden Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
Paul & Randy,
You guys sure run a tight ship. By the time the class was complete I had all my questions answered about concealed carry and there was never a dull moment. Your instruction on position and grip will help me become a much better shooter. I was very pleased with the safety on the range, that was my main concern. Thanks, Jack |
| Emily Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
Great class. Never have shot a gun in my life before this class. I feel that I have the understanding and basics to further my skills now. Well worth it. |
| Stuart Cornwell Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
Class was great! Very informative and well presented. Target shooting was a fun, safe, and relaxed atmosphere. Learned a lot. And with your instuctors' help, I improved my technique 100%. |
| Sandy Morgan-Marlow Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 |
I thought it was ALL excellent information. I really enjoyed the range time. I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in taking a concealed gun and safety class. |
| J.V. Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010 |
Thank you Paul and Randy for teaching a great class on 2-21. It helped me become better informed and improved my marksmanship. Everyone should take this class. |
| Brian Whitehead Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010 |
This was a great class to learn proper gun safety. Personally, I had not fired a handgun before and was apprehensive. However, by the time we were ready to shoot at the firing range my apprehension was alleviated. I had fun and am now confident I could protect my wife and myself with a firearm responsibly.
Thank you Paul and Randy. Brian |
| Tony Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010 |
Checked out several different classes and these guys are good, I've been around guns my whole life, hunting and pleasure and I think this class would be good for gun control and safety whether you get a carry permit or not... |
| Brett Hutchens Date: Saturday, February 20, 2010 |
Great class! Paul, Randy, and Jeremiah were excellent instructors! My wife and I left with complete satisfaction. This course exceeded our expectations and I would recommended it to anyone. They went above and beyond to equip us with the knowledge needed to continue on with confidence in self-defense. |
| Christopher Reid Date: Friday, February 19, 2010 |
Had a great time at the class. The guys were very helpful in the class and after the class with questions on how to move forward with getting the license. |
| Taymoor Pilehvar Date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 |
Great class. The instructors have great chemistry with each other and students. I drove two hours and shot in freezing weather for this class, and I'd do it again. Not only was the information regarding firearm concealment complete and relevant, but they helped make me so much more accurate in only fifty rounds. This course is more than recommended for both the total beginner or the experienced shooter. Thanks Randy, Paul, and Andy. |
| James Boyd Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 |
Carry Legal and the instructors are all very reaffirming and concientious about the need to be a CC license holder. Paul and Randy are very knowledgeable about the proper handling of firearms and I would recommend Carry Legal to anyone wanting to increase their skill level and safety with hand guns. I appreciate their humble attitude and their ability to laugh at themselves throughout the process. I would like to say thanks to all of the guys (including "Bars") and the brother with three kids (I wish I had the excuse of "teaching gun class" to get away). Your input was well received and I blew a giant hole in the "X" circle because of it. "Carry Constantly, and Carry Legal." |
| Bill Perry Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 |
Enjoyed the class. Very informative and well run. Each person was given some personal help and techniques for better accuracy on the range. This was very helpful. Thanks. |
| Robert C. Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
Wasn't the stale classroom experience I'd come to expect. These guys really help the time pass, very informative with a twist of madness. The highlight for me was class started with prayer, that was Awesome and refreshing. The class was a BLAST (pun intended). I would/will recommend this class to everyone, I also intend to take the AP1 class when funds arise. Thanks Paul, Randy, Andy, Eric - you guys rock...Stay Safe!!! |
| Sally Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
I just want to say thank you so much for all the help that all of you gave to me in the class. I learned how to safely handle and hold a gun. Thanks again! |
| Rusty Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
You know there are a lot of places that a person can go to take the class for this, but I believe that I couldn't have picked a better place to do it than Carry Legal. The class room work is done to show you how important SAFETY is, and with good humor. The range part is fun, and they make you feel good about yourself no matter how bad you shoot. Lol... And again guys thanks a lot, I learned a lot of things that I didn't know. Keep up the great work. Thanks, Rusty |
| John Bolin Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
Great class. Thanks for the informative and interesting class presentation. |
| Kristie Blasi Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
I enjoyed the class tremendously!! I was nervous about taking the class being five months preggers, but my Dr. gave the ok. I learned a lot and my shots were better with each round. It is important for every citizen to protect themselves and to do it efficiently as possible! I had forgotten how much I loved guns (it had been a while since I shot), but it all came back to me!
Will def. continue practicing and will be so excited to receive my license in the mail!! |
| Zane Gentry Date: Monday, February 15, 2010 |
The class put on by Carry Legal was awesome. They went above (the requirements) and provided first rate instruction. I didn't come out of the class with only the certificate showing I passed, I actually came out a better shooter. I couldn't have asked for more bang for the buck! |
| Adam Bindrum Date: Monday, February 8, 2010 |
I enjoyed the class very much. Paul and Randy made the class fun and answered any question that was asked. I've already told people where they should go to take the class. I learned alot about gun safety.
Thanks, Adam |
| Brent Date: Monday, February 8, 2010 |
All the information anyone needs to pass the test. Nothing to worry about at all. HIGHLY recommended. |
| Mack Talley Date: Monday, February 8, 2010 |
been around guns most of my adult life and learned alot more thanks to the class ! THANKS AGAIN |
| Jim Ragsdale Date: Monday, February 8th, 2010 |
If you are considering your CCL....these guys are the ones that you need to see. So well versed in the laws and practicality of Concealed carry and they don't bore you. Very interesting and informative and I had a great Saturday doing it! These guys are the only way to go, if you are going to get your CCL. Great Instructors, great experience and well worth the time invested...and by the way, they really liked my Beretta Cougar .45ACP...it ate the center out of the target!!!! |
| Lee Date: Saturday, February 6, 2010 |
I took the class back in August. My parents just took a CC class elsewhere in OK due to distance - and I was surprised by how much more in-depth the instruction I received was. The other CC class covered only about 1/3 as much legal stuff/shooting technique. Also, the Carry Legal facility was far superior (more people able to shoot at the same time, so you're not standing around forever), and there were COOKIES, lol! Seriously, all these CC classes aren't created equal, this is a good one. |
| Cory Roark Date: Saturday, February 6, 2010 |
Took class on 2-6-2010. First off, this class is worth more than 60.00!! Paul and Randy are excellent instructors. They explain everything in plain, easy to understand language. This is no straight from some book, boring, 8 hour class. If they weren't doing this, they would probably make a pretty good comedy team.
The skills they showed me improved my shooting accuracy greatly. Paul and Randy are not judgemental when they point out things that could be improved on in stance, breathing, and technique. These guys really know their stuff.
Thank you very much for a really fun and informative day. Hope to see you guys again! |
| Larry Date: Saturday, February 6th, 2010 |
I really enjoyed the class. Paul and Randy made the 8 hours speed by. Lots of good information presented in an fun manner. These guys know their material and make it easy to understand. I will recommend my friends that this class. |
| Jodi Hood Date: Sunday, January 31, 2010 |
I took the 1-17 class. This class was the perfect fit for me. I hadn't shot a gun before. Basically, the extent of my knowledge was which end is "the dangerous" end and where the trigger is on the gun! The staff never treated me with anything but professionalism and had the common goal to teach me about gun safety and respect for the weapon. I didn't expect to even hit the target and at the conclusion of the day I had 100% hits, with several X-ring hits as well! Very highly recommended for anyone looking for concealed carry education. |
| Chad Standifer Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010 |
Great training! Paul and Randy do an excellent job. This was an easy 8 hours of training and thanks for helping me improve my shooting. I look forward to taking the advanced classes. |
| Eric Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010 |
This class was great! It is obvious that Paul and Randy are well versed on the subject and have a passion for it as well. Great instructors! You guys really did an excellent job. I really enjoyed the class and I will definitely recommend you guys! |
| Dustin Date: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 |
Paul and Randy are very professional.
Their class and techniques improved my shooting, and I learned a lot of new things along with excellent gun safety. |
| Kevin F. Date: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 |
Paul and Randy are nothing short of astounding as gents and as teachers. The class was active, engaging, and fun. All while conveying the most important point: being safe. They went as far as to sit and chat with a few of us after the class ended, just for random questions and random conversation.
Even as a semi-experienced shooter, they information they offered beyond the legal, safety oriented information notably improved my shooting skills. Thank you both for a great class. I only hope I get to see and work with you guys again in the future. Embrace the SUCK, gentlemen. |
| Sam Edmonds Date: Monday, January 18, 2010 |
Not knowing very much about hand guns, I learned a lot, in class and on the range. By the time Paul and Randy were done showing me the proper way to grip my gun, I was grouping my shots every time. Highly recommend this class! Thanks, Sam |
| Brian Thomas Date: Sunday, January 17, 2010 |
I took the class on 1/17/2010. It was money well spent, and I had my many questions regarding concealed carry answered during the course. In addition to being a gun safety oriented class, I also picked up valuable tips on the most up to date methods of proper shooting, and why those methods worked.
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises was how laid back the class was. No macho gun instructors proclaiming how great they were, no pressure for students on the firing line, and a very slow and detailed explanation of what to expect on the firing line before we even stepped foot on the range. Paul and Randy are both great down to earth guys. They are very concerned about not only your safety while in the class, but also your safety on the streets after the class is over. If you have any doubts about taking the class, please put them aside and take this course so you can exercise your Second Amendment rights as a US citizen. You will not regret it. |
| Phil J. Date: Saturday, January 16, 2010 |
If you are checking out this web site, it is probably because you are interested in self defense or the ability to protect you and yours in a time when murder and violent crimes are at record highs. I can tell you that the staff at Carry Legal Inc. will do more than what is necessary to get you thru the concealed carry class requirements. I believe that they went an extra mile to make me a better shot at the range and were able to satisfactorily answer any questions I had in the classroom. Paul and Randy are the real (you get what you see) kinda guys and if you are looking for a place to take the concealed carry course, you have found it. |
| Forest Muret Date: Saturday, January 16, 2010 |
Great class. Very informative. I learned a lot. Thanks guys! |
| Nick Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 |
Me and my brother took the course and enjoyed it very much. Paul and Randy were very informative. They also improved my stance and aim. Thanks. |
| Ken Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 |
Take this class! Even with the distraction of below 20 degree temperatures while shooting (Jan.8, 2010), these guys were friendly, informative, and instructive. Paul & Randy went well beyond what is required and I felt at the end of the day that I had learned several advance techniques to my safety and shooting. Very safety oriented...which hammers home the purpose of the training. Randy even lent me his 92S when my jammed using cheap ammo. I have already filed the OSBI forms and now have the "wait". I plan at some point to take the advanced follow-up CCW course. Thanks guys..... |
| Cathy Almon Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 |
Thanks so much Paul and Randy for the enlightening class. Even in frigid temps. at the range I learned a lot, most importantly I learned how to properly hold a gun. I will continue to practice and know I will get better. Thanks guys |
| Donna Date: Thursday, December 31, 2009 |
I was not too excited about sitting in a room listening to someone tell me how to be safe with a gun. I have to say, I was very impressed. They definitely taught me a thing or two. Paul and Randy work very well as a team to relay what they know about gun safety, but they went even further. They showed me how to hold my gun (that is actually too big for my hands) and how to stand to get the best firing pattern I have ever had. Now, I don't mind practicing. I would definitely recommend them to anybody interested in gun safety. Thanks Paul and Randy! |
| Alan C. Doughty Date: Monday, December 28, 2009 |
I really enjoyed the Concealed Carry Class. The instructor's knowledge and personal insights were both enlightening and entertaining. The hands-on pistol training was particularly empowering. |
| Doug Date: Monday, December 28, 2009 |
Great class, I learned a lot. Thanks! |
| Robert Date: Monday, December 28, 2009 |
Hey guys, Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your Dec 26 class, I liked to way you went step by step to teach your class. It was very informative - I walked away with alot of knowledge of the regulations about conceal carry, I also learned how to control my recoil of my pistol and stay on target. I couldn't believe how fast the time flew, I will recommend your classes to my friends. Thanx, Robert |
| Luke Pierce Date: Sunday, December 27, 2009 |
I took a last minute class on Dec 26th, and have got to say, that I thoroughly enjoyed spending my Saturday there. The class was put on very well. From the first moment you walk in the door you are made to feel very welcome, and the instructors treated the class like long time friends. The range time was also very nice. The guys took the time to make sure each individuals needs were met to get the best performance out of each shooter in a short 50 rounds. I liked the class enough that at the end of the day, I bought 2 gift certificates for family members. |
| Carl Hunter Date: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 |
Ex Military know it all, Renegade Chopper Pilot fixes consistent 1 inch left of center shot group, in an eight-hour course and fifty rounds. I was so impressed with the cadre's knowledge and instruction I signed up for the advanced course on their recommendation. Hope to see you in March, keep up the good work. Carl |
| Linsay N Carter Date: Monday, December 21, 2009 |
As parents, we were unsure if having a gun in the house was the best idea. After taking this class, I feel so much more confident about not only having a gun in the house but also now taking it with me everywhere I go. I expected this class to be similar to the Hunters Safety Course I've taken in the past. It was Nothing like that! I learned more about gun safety than I expected. But also learned how to actually shoot, since apparently just pointing it towards a bad guy isn't good enough :) I was completely inexperienced with handguns, but was made to feel comfortable by the amazing instructors. I was also lucky enough to get into a class full of friendly and supportive students. I feel that even those who were experienced shooters would say they walked away learning more than they expected. My Instructors: Paul was great! He is very articulate, intelligent, and a funny guy. He can recite interesting statistics and quotes like no one I’ve ever met. He’s a natural teacher with the ability to feel your brain with detailed info without boring you to death. Randy is the shooting pro, though you wouldn’t know it by his demeanor, he's a funny guy. And even though he could probably shoot a gnat out of the sky from 20 yards out, he was able to explain the most simple procedures without intimidation. And I’m sure he impressed some of the most experienced shooters there as well. Reuben showed an amazing amount of patience with my lack of confidence and experience, even going so far as to let me shoot his Glock (which I loved) when my .32 refused to cooperate. I have to admit, it was my first time at a shooting range so I was pretty nervous. But Reuben helped to calm me and focus on having fun while learning. This was a great experience. Fun, educational, and should be considered necessary for any responsible adult. I went in thinking of this as a formality that was only wasting one of my Sundays, I was wrong. I now plan on taking the next step in shooting lessons and have found my new hobby. The only problem I have now is convincing my husband to buy me a Glock! You Guys Rock :) Linsay Carter |
| Mike Date: Sunday, December 20, 2009 |
Took the class on 12/20 and had a great time. Informative and suitable for any level of previous experience. |
| Anthony Date: Sunday, December 20, 2009 |
Very enjoyable class. Paul and Randy made it very interesting and they added a little humor that made it fun. I felt that I learned a lot from their instruction and I would highly recommend this class. |
| Brett Williams Date: Monday, December 14, 2009 |
Guys, I just got back from this class, And all I can say is man, for the money, this is a GREAT deal. I learned way more than expected and made 2 new friends in the firearms world as well. thanks Guys! |
| Bob Williams Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009 |
Paul, I enjoyed the class and learned a lot about gun safety and handling. Learning the great shooting techniques taught allowed me to shoot accurately, even though I am 71 years old and have virtually no experience shooting a pistol. I now know what kind of pistol I need to buy and what training will be needed before I even think about concealed carry. Bob Williams |
| Gary Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 |
I thoroughly enjoyed the class with your emphasis on safety and avoiding negligence in handling firearms. You guys made the class fun and made us feel more confident in the use and control of our firearms. I was a little slow to improve on the range (trigger press) but I'm working on that and I know that the techniques that you taught us will help me as I become desensitized to the explosions taking place in my hand. I plan to take your Marksmanship courses in the future but I've spent a lot of cash on this new obsession lately, so it will be a little while. I learned about this course word of mouth and I've already told numerous friends about your services. I want my wife to attend this class also. Thanks again! Gary |
| Gloria Matthews Date: Thursday, December 3, 2009 |
Paul, Randy, and Ruben, Because I am a 74 year old greatgrandmother,retired teacher, and absolute gun novice, I opted to take Paul's 3 hour instruction before the CCL course (11/19 & 11/21/09). They were both terrific. I'm still amazed that I could be taught so much in so little time and have fun, too. Their philosophy of personal safety and gun rights reflects my own. Besides, I now have a new hobby. Thanks, guys! |
| Mike Jones Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 |
I took the class on 11-21-09 with my wife & son. Very good class - good enough that i handed out cards to several friends! Mike Jones |
| Matt Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 |
To Paul and his team. Thank you guys for the class last Saturday (November 21). It was fun and entertaining. Although I know gun safety very well as an avid hunter, you guys did bring to light some very interesting things. I want to extend my warmest regards and would recommend your class to anyone interested in taking their SDA class. Thanks again guys. Matt |
| SBD Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 |
I forgot to mention on my other post that both the wife and I took the class at the same time. She was very impressed and expressed that she learned a lot. She would recommend the class to anyone who is contemplating getting an SDA license or who is just interested in the law and firearms safety. Great class! |
| SBD Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 |
Paul, Really enjoyed the SDA class on Nov 21st. Both legal and safety issues were covered thoroughly. The extra training on posture and hold was extremely helpful. Your take on the caliber debate and other issues regarding personal defense reflect good training and reason. Because of the quality and value of your SDA class I will definitely be taking the AP1 class in the future. Thank you! |
| Colt Castle Date: Sunday, November 22, 2009 |
I thought Paul, Randy, and Andy did a very good job in Stillwater. I took the class today (11-22-09) and I learned so much. I was amazed at how shooting using the stance they taught us help make our hits so much more accurate. I went from hitting all over the target to keeping them in a 5 inch group. I would recommended this class to anyone that would love to learn how to shoot a pistil. |
| John Truitt Date: Sunday, November 22, 2009 |
Paul, Randy, and Andy, Thank you guys for making the trip to Stillwater to give our group the concealed carry class. You handled the large group (25) very well by doing a great job of providing group and one-on-one training. There was not one person who did not see an improvement with their pistol accuracy from start to finish. Speaking for myself I know that the training you provided will serve me well in both my civilian and military occupations. Thanks again for the great job!!! |
| Rich Date: Sunday, November 22, 2009 |
I took the concealed carry class Nov.21. The instructors,Paul and Randy were great. They presented the material in a manner that made the class interesting and I learned alot. If you are considering a concealed carry class, you need to take this class from these instructors.
Great Job, Rich |
| Mel R. Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 |
I attended the CCW class this past weekend with Paul, Randy and Marshall. Once again a great, informative, fun educational experience. The day flew by and I was able to work on some of the skills I had learned in the Basic Markmanship class in October. The emphasis on safety can't be preached enough if you ask me and they do a great job of continually enforcing good gun safety HABITS in this class. I highly recommend this for your CCW class. I will definitely be taking additional classes in the Spring at TDSA. Get armed, get trained, stay safe - that is their motto. I don't think our Founding Fathers could have said it any better. |
| Matt Baxter Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 |
Really enjoyed this course. Paul and Randy are very knowledgeable and entertaining. Will recommend this class for anyone who is considering the course. The shooting stance they teach made an immediate and maintained vast improvement on accuracy. |
| Don Date: Monday, November 16, 2009 |
What a great class! It was informative and interesting. I've recommended your class to all my friends. Thanks for the great instruction. |
| Laura Summers Date: Sunday, November 15, 2009 |
I took the Conceal Carry class with Paul, Randy, and Marshall yesterday. Excellent instruction in a no stress, relaxed environment. Began this process with the Intro to handguns for ladies class with TDSA and plan to take the AP1 class next, and then Advanced Conceal Carry with the husband (he is a CarryLegal and TDSA student as well). The shooting techniques and concepts they teach make such a difference in your accuracy and control. My confidence level and ability changed dramatically with this instruction. I never really even thought I would consider this type of training but feel it is an absolute necessity! |
| Harry McPhail Date: Saturday, November 14, 2009 |
I just completed the Concealed Carry Class and I must say its a very educational, fascinating and in depth class. We learned a whole lot in a small amount of time and the instructors went out of their way to make it enjoyable and fun. I have nothing but respect for these fine men who make it their duty to instruct and educate others on the safe and effective use of pistols and other kinds of guns. Make no mistake about it, these guys are highly trained and skilled at what they do but they don't have the huge ego that makes learning so difficult. They work with you on your level and where you are at and emphasize that the range is a "stress free" range before we ever go out and shot. This really takes the pressure off and helps you relax. This really helps with the nervous kind of people like myself! I even hit the sweet spot on the target! By the end of the day, I knew some great fundamentals. First off, they helped me learn how to confidently load my gun, virtually erase ammo jams, and even went out of their way to teach effective modern ways to fire a pistol with emphasis on hand positioning, posture and line of sight among other things. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be safer with a gun, get more information on gun safety and/or potential threats in society today and who want to get their basics of how to fire at targets. Way to go guys, keep on keeping on! |

I JUST COMPLETED THE CONCEAL/CARRY CLASS, AND MUST SAY IT WAS MUCH MORE THAN I EXPECTED! ALONG WITH MARSHALL, 2 OF HIS INSTRUCTORS, PAUL AND RANDY MADE THE CLASS VERY INTERESTING. THEY TRULY ENJOY TEACHING AND REALLY CARE THAT YOU ARE LEARNING. I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS, YOU'LL LEAVE ARMED WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT FIREARM SAFETY.
THANKS, DEBBIE ELDER |

Great guys, great price, easy, fun class. Have recomended your class to several people. |

This weekend (Nov 7, 2009) I attended the basic carried conceal class with my husband. I went into the class not being sure if I was actually going to carry, but really wanting the same information my husband was receiving so I would also be educated. I now feel well informed, and am even a firm supporter of us BOTH proceeding with becoming legal carriers. I enjoyed the happy, humorous, yet well-educated personalities of Paul and Randy. Thanks for taking on this housewife/mother and leading me to a safer life! |
| Scott Logsdon Date: Saturday, November 7, 2009 |
This class is very well written. It is however taught even better. I often fall asleep in such "informative and life changing" classes, but this duo of tactical teachers kept us rolling on the floor ( not literally). The range time was of course the best part. I thought I knew somthing about shooting till they taught me what I was doing wrong. My groups went from 12" at seven stinkin yards the day of the class to hitting the X ring every shot. My personal confidence is way up. If you are considering this or any other class offered by The Carry Legal Clowns--- DO IT. They have much to offer. Thanks guys.

Enjoyed the class and the great information that was passed on. Spent over 20 years in the Marine Corps as a Marksmanship Instructor for both FMF and Recon, and Paul and Randy should both be proud of themselves for the instructions on the range and in the classroom. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Chad Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2009 |
I have to admit, when I heard the class was 8 hours, I was a little bummed, but looking back now, the time flew by. It is great how everything is broke up so it doesnt get boring. Paul makes the class fun and him and Randy both go above and beyond making sure all the questions are answered and make you feel comfortable with the gun. They are also the funniest instructors I have ever seen. It makes for a very fun day, and I learned more than I thought I would. |
| Daniel Dennis Date: Monday, November 2, 2009 |
I took this Concealed Carry Class on November 1st and I came out with a lot more than I went in with. The materials covered are presented in a comfortable atmosphere by instructors that are competent, knowledgeable, energetic, and most of all they did not bore me even during the most boring of subject matter. The range time portion of the course was handled in a professional, controlled, yet fun manner. Everyone who attended was individually helped with pistol accuracy and saw immedate results; something I do not feel they had any obligation to do for us. During the breaks, Paul and Randy were extremely personable and helpful and took time to get to know us and answer any questions we had. I highly recommend anyone looking to take this course to take it here regardless of any affiliation or membership with another range or club. |
| Dustin Crawford Date: Saturday, October 31, 2009 |
I took my CCW class today (Oct. 31) and I can't think of one thing to complain about. I thought the class would be another boring safety class but between Paul's theatrics and Randy's jokes it was a lot of fun. I would recommend the class to everyone, no matter their skill level. Paul and Randy are a couple of great guys, they made the class very enjoyable. I would have paid more than 60 dollars for their class. Thanks guys, I will definately be back some day for an AP 1 class. |
| Wm McGivern Date: Saturday, October 31, 2009 |
I took this course several years ago from another local vendor, and ultimately decided not to apply for a permit. I retook the course today (October 31, 2009) taught by Paul and Randy -- it was like a totally different course. While the state mandated content isn't exactly high drama, their delivery was bright and cheerful, mixed with anecdotes, both serious and hilarious designed to emphasize the lessons. The range time was more like a marksmanship lesson than a statutory requirement to shoot 50 rounds. While Paul and Randy were observing our range safety habits, they also coached each of us on shooting technique and proper grip of the gun for maximum accuracy. After the range session everyone in the class agreed that they had noticeably improved their accuracy over the short session. We had a couple of very new shooters in the class and you could literally see the improvement in their shooting from string to string as Paul and Randy coached them. A day very well spent. Bill |
| Ian and Kathlee Pockrus Date: Monday, October 26, 2009 |
My wife and I just finished the CC class with Paul and Andy on Oct 24th - these guys put on a excellent class (we were dreading throwing away a perfectly good Saturday), turned out we had a perfectly great Saturday! We both learned alot about shooting pistols (which we both needed) you could spend years shooting and never learn what we did in a single day. Every one of us needs training, we just don't realize it. We signed up for three AP1 classes together and we can't wait to learn better shooting skills. Thanks Paul for another addiction! Ian and Kathlee |
| Dr. Danny Holdman, M.D. Date: Sunday, October 25, 2009 |
I took my CCW class with TDSA yesterday (Oct 24th, 2009) and I think it was a great course. Paul, Andy (NOT Randy!) and Wyatt/Bars were great! We had a fun time and while Paul was the main lecturer, the added input from the other guys and their help on the firing range was just great. I learned to shoot a few years ago from a friend who was a CLEET firearms instructor, but I only had a couple of hours with him and most of the concepts have faded drastically. The basic firearms instruction provided in the class was a great addendum/update for me, and I was very impressed with my accuracy after such a long time away from shooting (85% 10-ring and 100% 9-ring, baby!). As mentioned many times, the CCW class is not a be-all and end-all for concealed carry and self-defense, but rather an introduction the concepts and legalities in Oklahoma. It is a lot of information to absorb in 1 day, but one other thing it did do was show me how much more I DON'T know and need to learn. I can't wait to take the Advanced Combat Pistol and Advanced Concealed Carry Classes! All the guys were very professional, personable and knowledgeable. I'd recommend this group without reservation for your intro CCW class. Great job, guys! Thanks a ton! |
| Lewis F Jones Date: Sunday, October 25, 2009 |
Paul, Being a retired Deputy from Ouchita Parish, LA., I decided to take the Concealed Carry course to stay abreast of the current law as well as get a bit of range time in to familiarize myself with a new weapon recently purchased. It has been a while since I've even shot a pistol, and I do believe that even an "old dog" can learn a trick or two. Quite honestly, your class simply blew me away. You and yours managed to exceed every expectation I had about these types of class. I particularly appreciate you emphasis on SAFETY. I agree that there is no such thing as an accident concerning firearms, rather only NEGLIGENT DISCHARGES. The academics were very professionally rendered and I do believe the tips offered on the range improved my accuracy from the very first shot. Remember that the last time I shot in a class class environment, it was on a Police Post Course with a revolver before Semi Autos were approved for carry. I have absolutely no regret over spending an entire Saturday with your group. The experience was pleasant, informative, and an all around confidence booster. Thanks from this Old Dog for a job well done. Lewis F. Jones |
| Craig Moss Date: Saturday, October 24, 2009 |
I just completed the Carry Class 10-24-09. What an eye opener! It was a great learning experience. Thanks Guys! Craig Moss |
| Mai/Wangdoua Chang Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009 |
Hi Paul and Randy, Thank you so much for being wonderful instructors. Thank you for giving us the chance and opportunity to learn skills that we wouldn't have learned if we weren't in the class. We've learned alot and we will definitely remember to put it to use. Thank you for being patient, easy going and very informative through out the whole day which makes the class for us very stress free and easy to focus. We enjoyed Randy's sense of humor and jokes alot too. We love both of you and we are very grateful to get this chance to know and meet you guys. We will definitely refer anyone we know who is interested in getting a concealled license to come to you two. We hope we will meet you guys again someday even if it's just to say "hi". Anyway, may God watch and take care of both of you in the future ahead with your many more training classes and you both have a very good year ahead. Take care :] Mai/Wangdoua Chang |
| Nancy Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009 |
The class today, October 11, was fantastic! Paul and Randy, you presented the information in a clear, concise and practical way, but with your unique techniques that made it anything but boring! I learned a lot and really appreciated all the range assistance, too. I will happily recommend your class to anyone! Nancy |
| Cassie Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009 |
I took the Conceal Carry class on October 10, 2009. I learned so much and had a great time. I was the only female in the class. They treated me just like one of the guys. I loved it. |
| R.D. Miner Date: Saturday, October 10, 2009 |
Great job today guys! It was very organized, informative, entertaining and safe. It accomplished what I needed and enjoyed it much. I improved my shooting accuracy a lot in just a short time using techniques taught by you guys. Thanks again. |
| Kelly Shields Date: Saturday, October 10, 2009 |
I would first off like to say WOW! The class today (Oct.10) was fantastic. It gave me a new perspective on concealed carry, and personal defense. Paul and Randy both made the class time informative and fun while not falling away from the reason we all were there, gun safety and personal defense. The range time was a blast, and the techniques they showed us improved the entire classes accuracy. I plan on bringing my wife to the class and sharing the experience with her, and not to mention come back to learn more. I am also looking forward to taking the AP1 class. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction and all your help guys. |
| Bill Quinn Date: Monday, August 31, 2009 |
Hello Paul and Randy, just wanted to say my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed your training class and to let potential students know that you guys run a top-notch training environment. We look foward to returning for advanced training. Thanks again.
Bill |
| Justin Date: Monday, August 31, 2009 |
It was a great class - don't think you will find another one like it. Very fun class, as well!!! |
| George O'Neil, MD Date: Monday, August 31, 2009 |
I had to drive 90 miles to attend this class. It was way worth my time! The information was door opening and well presented. This is the place I will recommend all of my friends to go for Concealed Carry and defensive Shooting. I feel much better prepared to pack and I plan on taking advanced training from this great organization in the future. |
| Pat Brown Date: Monday, August 31, 2009 |
Paul, just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed your class this past weekend. It was a refresher course for us, but one that I felt like I needed, plus, I learned so much more than the first class taken about 8 or 9 years ago! You made the class entertaining, while at the same time, taught us what we needed to know, plus extra information that isn't normally included in other classes. Will definitely take your advanced class as soon as I am physically able. After watching your videos, I am in complete agreeement that EVERYONE needs to take an advanced course! It takes more than just carrying a gun to ensure your life! Thanks again for a great day and a great class! Will recommend you to everyone I know that is interested in taking a license to carry class. |
| Mike Headrick Date: Monday, August 31, 2009 |
I took my class yesterday 8-30-09 the class was great and very informative. Paul and Randy do a great job teaching you everything from firearm safty to the laws you need to keep legal. They are both very professional but not boring. I would highly recomend anyone that is wanting to take a concealed carry class to search these guys out and get into there class it is worth the time and money. |
| Ali Daemi Date: Sunday, August 30, 2009 |
Paul; Thanks for taking time and helping with my shooting problem. I really enjoyed the techniques which you showed in your classroom. It was definitely helpful for me. I will definitely recommend this class to anybody. Ali |
| Jeff Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 |
Honestly I had signed up for this class because of the price, location, and purpose of the class. However, I got a lot more than that. The class is worth far more than what is advertised in that a student will gain an appreciation for gun rights, gun safety, and the necessity for training.
I applaud the staff for their friendly and non condescending approach to the class as well as their wealth of knowledge about every and any topic. My only regret is not having taken this class sooner! I would recommend this class even if distance is a strain because I wouldn't take a chance on missing out anywhere else. Even if you don't plan on carrying, you should take this class because of the information. Top notch, bar none. Thank you Paul! |
| Richard Boothe Date: Saturday, August 22, 2009 |
My wife and I took the concealed carry class today Aug 22nd and greatly enjoyed it. It was presented in a way that was easily understood and not dull. My wife was patiently helped with the shooting portion. She did not feel intimidated and improved a lot from her first round to the final round. Great Job.
Richard |
| Brad & Trista Jones Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 |
Enjoyed the class and range time. The pointers on the range helped my confidence with a pistol. I also liked the demo with the shooting at the casings. Paul & Randy did a good job giving the info they were required to give us. THANKS GUYS!!! |
| Richard Riemann Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 |
I recommend Carry Legal to anyone interested in obtaining a concealed carry permit. The staff is friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, and professional. With a great class and competitive pricing, Carry Legal is the only option in a concealed carry class.
-Richard |
| Heath Date: Sunday, August 9, 2009 |
CarryLegal is great educational concealed/carry class for all levels of shooters. The class is mainly geared toward firearm safety, but Paul and Randy do a great job explaining other tips like, the proper way to grip the handgun, sight alignment, stance, OK concealment laws(in simple terms), and much more. I would recommend to anyone, no matter what level, needing their self defense certificate for CCW permit. |
| Seth Date: Monday, August 3, 2009 |
Paul, Thank you guys for the great class this past Saturday. I appreciate your time and thoroughness of so much material in the time allotted. Also, thanks for the help on the line. It was great to see my shooting improve drastically in only 10 rounds. Thanks again! Seth |
| Paskal, Blaga, & Elena Bakalov Date: Sunday, August 2, 2009 |
We are so extremely satisfied with our class. Everything was explained clearly, and the material was presented very professionally by Paul with clear demonstrations from Randy. At the range, all necessary precautions were taken. All thee instructors were very careful and explained everything well. The class was a pleasure for all of us! |
| Randy Walker Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009 |
I took your CCW class today 8-1-2009. I found it fun and very informative. Have recommended to my parents who will be attending your class soon. Thank you again for the information and the fun time learning it. Plan to take your advanced class in the near future. |
| Tonya Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 |
Paul and Randy, I would like to take this time to thank you for giving me a better insight to guns/weapons. After taking your Concealed and Carry class, I am better equipped to protect myself as well as my family should the occasion arise.
When I first walked into your doors, I was unable to even hit the target, let alone get close to the "X". Most of my shots ended up below the target and into the dirt! I learned the proper positioning of my "trigger" finger. Stance for both upper and lower body, about the momentum and accuracy that comes with a proper stance. I learned about the "Crush" grip which has changed the way I now hold a gun. Sight alignment was my biggest challenge, it was not until I was given a "real life" visual clue on the gun range I understood. With that said, my shooting improved, I still have much practice ahead of me, but I will get better. Learning about "Dry Fire" will help me when I can't make it to the range. "Squib", I thought, (What in the world is that? Is that something like a squid? And why are we talking about things from the ocean?) Nope! I learned that has NOTHING to do with the ocean. Overall, it was a great class that gave me a better understanding of how guns/weapons operate, proper techniques the crazy laws we have now, as well as more peace of mind that comes with knowledge, because after, all knowledge is power. Tonya |
| Matt & Nat Date: Monday, July 27, 2009 |
We took our class yesterday, Paul is a very enthusiastic & informative instructor, him & Randy are fun to learn with! We also learned some new & very helpful gun handling info -- more than expected! Thanks guys!! Matt & Nat |
| Kody H. Date: Sunday, July 26, 2009 |
Hey guys, I just wanted to say your course was great - I actually am getting my mom to finally take the course through you as well over a closer instructor, along with my fiance because I enjoyed it and learned so much! I will also be advising many of my friends that are interested to hit it up cause the class was very informative and we got any and every question we asked answered. My dad and I were quite impressed with how you guys went into detail on situation handling and when and when lethal force is not needed. All in all, the class was great, and I will for sure be putting your name out there - thanks again for the one on one assistance with any questions I had! |
| Travis Sheram Date: Sunday, July 26, 2009 |
Thanks for the class, it was very helpful. I plan to take more classes. I will recommend it to anyone. |
| Joe Hartl Date: Sunday, July 26, 2009 |
Paul,Randy and Ruben: Thanks for all the excellent training today, 07/26/2009. You teach an excellent Concealed Carry class with lots of information and real life experiences. Just enough humor to keep us awake and paying attention. Thanks for explaining about the four tools needed to defend yourself. The facts about why you need a great Fenix flashlight made a lot of sense. I improved my shooting a lot, and first I thought Randy's stance was a bit exaggerated but the Isosceles triangle stance really helped me. It was a great outing for my son,Kody, and I. We will be back for more training and flashlights. Keep up the great work. Paul, you are a great teacher with outstanding support team. Thanks, Joe |
| Rob Mulvihill Date: Saturday, July 18, 2009 |
Paul, I have to say that this was one of the most informative courses that i have taken and look forward to taking more of the classes that you offer. As soon as i convince my wife that she needs to take this class she will be there. |
| Daniel Hendrickson Date: Friday, July 17, 2009 |
When I first started looking around at different places to take my concealed carry class, I thought they would all be the same, teaching gun safety, where you can and can't take your gun and so on. I was totally blown away to find at Carry Legal they cover much, much more. Not only do they go over all the above to get your carry license, but it was much more in depth on how to protect yourself from attackers, proper shooting practices including the correct way to shoot your gun, and second to none one-on-one instruction from Paul. In my opinion, you will not find a better class to get instruction. The insturctors go above and beyond what is required for the class and teach you life saving tips. Thanks so much for oportunity to learn from the best!
Daniel |
| William Norton Date: Monday, July 13, 2009 |
Paul and Randy were great! Great class with lots of good information. Paul and Randy were both were very eager to help and answer any questions I had. I had a good time, thanks for everything again guys!

Paul, Randy & Andy, Thanks for the class. You gave lots of information in a short period of time and made it interesting and easy to absorb. Thanks again. |
| Cody Lorenz Date: Sunday, June 21, 2009 |
The concealed carry class was awesome, gave me a few things to think about, and showed me I need more practice. Great class, good instructors, ALOT more than i had hoped for. |
| Jerry Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 |
Hey just wanted to to said thanks for taking your time to teach the class. I got a lot out of it. It was a lot of fun and alot of good information. If there is anyone that want to get the license I would strongly think about taking it here.Thanks again for your time. |
| Jeremy Willis Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009 |
I took CCW training on June 6th through Carry Legal. The class was incredible. The instructors were very knowledgable, answered all of our questions, encouraged participation, and conducted the training in a way that stressed gun safety and awareness of the gun laws to protect ourselves and others. I am recommending this class at Carry Legal to all my family and friends. I was so impressed, I am planning to take some advanced training that they offer. If you are looking into CCW, you will be hard pressed to find better instruction! |
| Erich R. Date: Monday, June 1, 2009 |
Afternoon Paul,
I attended the Concealed Carry course this last Sunday. The course was Excellent! I have four and a half years of Military background, two of which I carried a sidearm as a Law Enforcement Officer. The knowledge I took away from your course is invaluable. Both of the instructors delivered the material in a manner that underlined the seriousness of our Second Amendment rights and the responsibility that comes with it while keeping the class entertaining. Thanks again for the Knowledge you offer and the Security that comes with it. |
| Donato L. Date: Monday, May 18, 2009 |
I took the ccw class on may 17 - it was a blast! Great guys, lots of good information. I would recommend this class to anyone! |
| Angie Date: Monday, May 18, 2009 |
My husband, my mother, and I took the cc class over the weekend. I really appreciate the time you took to help my mother learn more about her firearm and how to group her shots better. We feel we learnt more than expected and will recommend this class to everyone. We look forward to taking more classes in the future. |
| Stephen Cooper Date: Sunday, May 17, 2009 |
I just completed the Conceal Carry course and was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge level of the instructors. They covered an incredible amount of information in a manner that let me clearly understand. I look forward to more training opportunities from T.D.S.A.

| Joy R. Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2009 |
Thank you for the Carry Legal class on Saturday.
My husband said he really liked the class (and I did, too!) and it was some of the most fun he's had on a Saturday. Also, he has passed your cards around at work and thinks he may have recruited some people for you. Thank you again! Joy R. |
| Ashley Woodruff Date: Monday, May 4, 2009 |
Great class. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. We will be recommending friends to take your class as well. Thanks! |

PAUL ,
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH MY WIFE AND I TRULY ENJOYED THE INSTRUCTION AND HANDS-ON TRAINING WE RECEIVED BY ATTENDING YOUR CONCEALED CARRY CLASS. THE INSTRUCTION WAS EXCELLENT AND QUITE INFORMATIVE, NOT TO MENTION THE HUMOR IN YOUR PRESENTATION KEPT THINGS LIGHT AND EASIER TO RECEIVE. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR TRAINING ON THE RANGE. I AM A VIETNAM VETERAN AND QUALIFIED EXPERT WITH MY M16 IN THE SERVICE, AND HAVE SHOT MANY DEER WITH MY RIFLES, BUT HAVE NEVER HAD BEEN TRAINED WITH MY HAND GUNS. THE TRAINING I RECEIVED BY ATTENDING YOUR CLASS I BELIEVE IS INVALUABLE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I ALSO APPRECIATE YOU EXTENDING SPECIAL HELP TO WIFE WHEN HER WEAPON HAD PROBLEMS ON THE RANGE. WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO REFER EVERYONE WE KNOW TO ATTEND YOUR CLASS. I BELIEVE IT IS IMPERATIVE EVERYONE WHO QUALIFIES SHOULD BE TRAINED AND CARRYING IN THESE DAYS. SINCERELY, R.......W..... |
| Keith Gissendaner Date: Sunday, April 26, 2009 |
Paul,
I would like to thank you and all the instructors at Carry Legal. My father, brother, and myself took your ccw class. The wealth of knowledge you have and gave to us was tremendous. With safety as the number one priority, everthing else just feel into place. We thought we knew the gun laws, but you set us straight and washed away all the rumor and hearsay about a ccw. The new grip you taught use has improved my shooting 1000%. Anyone reading this, let me tell you there is no other place you should take your ccw class. I truly feel i have instructor friends for life. Again. thank you so much, I will continue to carry with all the safety and confidence learned from your class. Keith Gissendaner |
| James Brock Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 |

Great class - it was very information packed and even being just a "safety" class, it was very enjoyable and time just flew by. Could have lasted alot longer and still been too short. Thanks, Jim |
| Todd Thompson Date: Monday, April 20, 2009 |
My wife and I took your 19 April 09 class and have to say it was very good, excellent information related to defensive shooting and gun rights. We both signed up for the advance class knowing you had all the information and training we needed. Thank again and looking forward to the next class.
Thanks, Todd |
| Joey Date: Saturday, April 18, 2009 |
Took the class today. Paul, you guys did a great job. I really appreciate it, and will definitely recommend Carry Legal to others. Thank you! |
| Casey Omary Date: Thursday, April 16, 2009 |
I took my class last weekend on the 11th and I don't think I could have enjoyed it more. It was extremely informative and also very FUN, they did a outstanding job of making the laws and rules completely clear. After using their grip method my aim was greatly improved in seconds....it's that good. I would definitely recommend to everyone to TAKE THIS CLASS, and don't stop there, there's advanced training they teach also, and from the videos they showed it looks like the real deal, I'm going to sign up as soon as I can. |
| Duke Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009 |
Paul, Randy and the Carry Legal team;
My compliments on your quality of the class we shared today. You and Randy are both now on my "favorite people list." Your competence, as well as consistent information, speaks highly of both the Carry Legal and TDSA Teams, and particularly - yourselves. I was not only highly impressed, I was deeply gratified to see the amount of passion and concern you convey to the students on these subjects. Via the "errornet" and other less-than-reputable sources, misinformation on firearms, training particularly, is at epidemic levels. To hear statements like, "Get MORE training," "don't go cheap on guns, mags, or holsters - or flashlights", etc., lets me as a student know exactly where you guys are at as far as mindset. I look forward to seeing all of you again in other classes. Be safe, Godspeed - and stay in the fight. -DK |
| Vince Leonard Date: Monday, March 30, 2009 |
The information from the class was excellent! The grip technique that you teach for holding a pistol is dead on! My shooting skills and accuracy improved with 40 rounds...knocked out the dick on the X on the target!
I am taking an advanced combat course in Oct. Real excited about that too.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Vinny Owner/ Operator ACE MOTO SPORTS TULSA |
| Nate Date: Sunday, March 29, 2009 |
Just took your class today, EX navy gunners mate - I learned more in the 30 min shooting today then I did in 5 years in the navy. Outstanding class, good work keep it up!!!! |
| Bob Selby Date: Saturday, March 28, 2009 |
Paul,
I wanted to let you know what a great day it was for me today. You packed so much in to the class time and I am sure as much as you have prepared, we could have gone on for several more hours. You are so well prepared for teaching the class and the time just goes by so quickly. Although the weather was not very pleasant, all of the staff members were so helpful in meeting any and all of the needs of the class members. I also enjoyed being able to talk to all of you during the break times. At the range, all of the staff were helpful in giving the necessary encouragement and guidance to all of the class members. I was amazed that between rounds, Andy was able to point out to me something I needed to correct. I did, and placed several more of the next rounds we fired in the "X" area. When we were all done, you examined my target, and seeing my shot placements, you gave me further feedback. I believe you and your staff made this a great class and experience for someone who has not been to the range in a long time, and you have greatly encouraged me to continue to hone my skills. Thanks for everything, Bob |
| Marc M. Date: Monday, March 23, 2009 |
The Carry Legal class was excellent. Instructions prior to the class and Paul's communication were excellent and concise. I never felt like I didn't know what to bring, where to go, or when to be there. Information in the FAQ left me with a good idea of what to expect on class day. Carry Legal's accommodations allowed me (YMMV) to take the class in just a few days after registering, at a time when most other classes are booked for months. On class day class starts promptly on time, again instructions are direct and concise. Paul does a great job at maintaining your attention; he is a good speaker over all. I don't know how much of the class is "required teaching" and how much was ad lib, but there are definitely bonuses thrown in, especially at the range. Breaks were planned in good timing. Before and during the range exercises, it was crystal clear that safety was top priority and I felt like that was a huge plus for new shooters to feel safe. The range exercise was near military, which only added to the feeling of structure and safety. Every shooter was instructed on basic/moderate handgun marksmanship techniques and each target was evaluated at the end, giving you a good idea of what you need to work on. The range exercise was where Carry Legal really shined above the rest. The value given overall, especially at the range, far exceeds the $50/$60 fee. Paul strongly urged everyone to realize the SDA class is just the beginning point, and continue training afterwards - and I completely agree. Keep training!
To Paul, Randolph, and the rest of the crew... Great Job! |

Paul: Great class to say the least. Very informative, kept my attention. Just wish there was more time. Kudos to you and your assistants. |
| Brant Purdum Date: Monday, March 23, 2009 |
Concealed carry class was very informative and efficient. Instructors went far above and beyond the minimum, basic knowledge and information. Instructors gave out their personal cell phone numbers for questions that arose after class had been completed.
Thanks, Brant |

The class was great - they teach you a lot of new things. I learned a lot, and I have been shooting for a very long time. Thank you guys for all the great tips on shooting! |

Myself and wife took the course in two half day classes.
We learned so much more than one thinks they really know about laws and safety and recognizing a situation and how to handle it. Paul was very through and answered any and every question anyone had related to the course and what he was covering in class and at the qualification range. I walked away with so much more knowledge and respect and experience gained in the course. Their technique for firing a pistol improved my grouping of shots and safety at the range. Myself and my wife clearly understand the safety and responsibility that come with this licensing process. You walk away with so much knowledge and direction. These guys are very friendly, professional, and courteous. If you do not understand always take the time to ask... Never assume! Very affordable and highly recommended to anyone looking to get their license... Thank you guys - I feel so much better knowing my wife and I took this course and walked away with the new knowledge and confidence we learned. Learn from the best ( Carry Legal ) or just be one of the rest. Sincerely, Kevin & Donna Doty |

I would like to take the time to personally thank CARRY LEGAL; Paul and his Staff. They make you feel comfortable in class and on the range; they make you feel at right at home. Their instructions are complete and accurate! PROFESSIONALS,...their enviroment is Safe! They teach Safety FIRST, Which is the most important Rule, when handling any type of gun. They showed better techniques, which improved my handling and shooting Skills! I'm very proud of my improvement. Thank you Carry Legal,.....JEFFERY JOE FUSIK |

These guys really know their stuff!! My dad and I went Sunday 3/15/09 and they gave alot of good information. The videos were great the instructors were awesome. I would recommend Carry Legal to anyone that wants to take a concealed carry class. Also after the shooting range time, I saw a big improvement in my shooting. I'm ready for the Advanced carry class. I already have been spreading the word. Excellent job fellas!!! |

Dear Mr. Melin:
I want to praise you, and the other instructors on how professional the class was. Thanks for showing the proper stance, grip, and style that is associated with improving our skills. Thank You, Paul and everyone at the TDSA! Garrick W. |
| Tracy Date: Sunday, March 15, 2009 |
Just wanted to leave a note of gratitude to all! I took the class on 3-14-09 and was very impressed with the knowledge of everyone involved! Staff was so nice and helpful! I will recommend Carry Legal to anyone seeking a concealed weapon class! It was great! (And fun!!!) Thanks again!!! Tracy |
| Brian A. Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009 |
I really loved the class!!! You had a wealth of information, and the way you went about the Verbal Judo on shooting was awesome, and I believe it gets a great point across - that a gun is the last resort, if words will defuse the situation, by all means, use them. All in all, a great class - I will be back to get more training very soon!!!

I took your class on March 14,2009, and I learned more than I ever thought possible. You all are some good guys, and really know your stuff. Thank you for the opprtunity to take your class, and the help, and concern you all showed. In the future I hope to get more training from you guys, on my accuracy and grip of the gun, so I can control it better. Thank You! |
| Kevin Riggs Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2009 |
I attended the March 1 class. It was fun and informative. Good instructors!! I strongly recommend anyone who just owns a personal weapon to take this course. If you are going to protect yourself, do it right - CARRY LEGAL! |
| Matt Date: Monday, March 2, 2009 |
I took the class on 2/28 and was very impressed. Paul made the class very informative but also fun at the same time. If you have any question, dont hesitate to take it from the guys at Carry Legal, there is a reason they are the biggest and best in the state. |
| David Date: Monday, March 2, 2009 |
This was a great class that was very informative. I left with a different mind set and greater understanding of the law and my rights as a citizen with the ability to defend myself. I highly recomend this class and give my compliments to the instructors. They did a great job and made the material easy to understand and entertaining at the same time. Thanks!

| Mark J. Sarsfield Date: Monday, March 2, 2009 |
This is a great class. I learned a lot and got a lot more out of it than what a lot of other instructors would offer. 8 hours was definitely not enough time to know everything there is to know and they leave you wanting more. I'll definitely be back for follow-up classes/instruction. A+ |
| Jim Ragsdale Date: Sunday, March 1, 2009 |
Great class!!! Paul made it interesting and informative...very professional and atriculate in his presentations. The range time was professionally executed.
All in all a great class and if you are considering Concealed Carry, this is where you want to do it! Thanks, Jim Ragsdale |
| Roger Bostic Date: Thursday, February 26, 2009 |
I attended the Feb 22, 2009 class. I must say that it was the best $60 I have spent. I am glad that I took the class as the information was excellent and the range instruction was well worth the fee. Thanks!!! |
| John Edmonsond Date: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 |
Fantastic class! Your presentation was very easy to understand. You covered all angles of both the legal and practical information, and your shooting tips were great! I just took the class on February 22, 2009, and I'm already recommending you to my friends. Great job!

| Ryan Bush Date: Monday, February 23, 2009 |
My fiance and I took the concealed carry class on Feb 22. We really enjoyed the class. Paul and team made the class very enjoyable and provided very useful information for becoming legal and beyond. Even though we were both experienced shooters, the instruction in shooting technique proved a great help as accuracy improved immensely.
Thank you, Ryan Bush and Jennifer Young |
| Kevin Date: Monday, February 23, 2009 |
Thx again guys for the excellent c/c course. My wife and I enjoyed it very much, it was a real eye opener for us both, once again thx a lot! |
| Nathan Date: Monday, February 23, 2009 |
Very well thoughtout and executed. A class worth the time and money. I'm recommending it to my friends as well as my family. What more can I say? |
| Chris Deering Date: Monday, February 23, 2009 |
Feb. 22 Some friends and I attended a Concealed and Carry class instructed by Paul at Carry Legal. Paul is an incredible instructor and VERY passionate about the topics he discusses and teaches...Paul has some very good assistance as well. Randy is very knowledgable, and appears to love doing this as well. Thanks for the additional instruction at the range Randy!
Ruben was able to assist at the range as well. All of the individuals that helped out were TOP NOTCH! I registered for the class with minimal knowledge regarding the concealed and carry laws, and completed the class with an enormous wealth of knowledge. The videos are amazing, lectures are informative and entertaining, and the range session was fun- thanks for the advice on gripping the gun more effectively, and the all of the additional information provided to me. Listening to them increased my accuracy by approximately 40%, they DO indeed know what they are talking about. I am excited to enroll and take the advanced concealed and carry class in July, another great class I assume, with these guys having a hand in the class, how could it not be beneficial! I cannot recommend enough that if you are seeking the CC license, look nowhere else! These guys take you under their wing and guide you through with zero confusion. Thanks again for such great instruction!!! Chris |
| Eddie Allen Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009 |
Paul,
Thank you so much for the great info I received today (2/22/09). I brought home way more info and training than I expected to learn from the class. You and your other instructors were very informative and helpful. I would recommend CARRY LEGAL to anyone who is thinking of getting their SDA license. The techniques taught at the range helped my shooting performance. Thanks Again, Eddie |
| Nathan Hamon Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009 |
Attended class on 21 Feb 09. Well thought out and put together - Thanks! |
| Steve DeVivo Date: Friday, February 20, 2009 |
I signed up for this class to become more familiar with the law on concealed carry, as well as to improve my shooting skills. Wow, the practical knowledge of the law and the improved shooting skills were outstanding. The class is structured for the beginner, but the knowledge you walk away with is priceless.
Thanks Paul and Andy! Steve DeVivo |
| Scott Bogert Date: Sunday, February 15, 2009 |
Paul,
Thank you for the way you conducted the Valentine's Day 2009 CCW class. We were given a lot of information to process and some to research afterward. The discussion was casual and the content meaningful. My wife has MS and only one eye that functions well, but she thoroughly enjoyed the instruction. She is very familiar with her revolver but was hesitant to take the class due to the auto pistol requirement. Her hand strength is not sufficient to rack a slide. Randy gave her wonderful assistance while in the range shooting portion. She became more confident and relaxed while learning your shooting stance/grip. She was proud enough that today she taped her target to our living room wall. Although I have hunted with pistols for 30 years, I believe I too will tighten my groups as I practice with the positions your team taught. I have already recommended your class to friends in OKC. Good luck with your future as your school expands its shooting curriculum! |
| Cat Metcalf Date: Friday, February 13, 2009 |
My husband and I took this class last weekend - 2/7/08. We both started out wondering a variety of things - all of our questions were answered, and then some! This class is great for the experienced shooter and the novice alike - we fall at either end of the spectrum, and during the range portion of the class, both of us improved markedly. instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and great communicators. |
| Mike Moxley Date: Sunday, February 8, 2009 |
Paul,
the class was fantastic. I followed your instructions for shooting and I had a very tight group on the target. The class was informative and fun. There is a great deal more information taught in this class than other classes that my friends have told me about. I highly recommend this class to anyone concerned about protecting yourself or your family. His class will make you aware of many issues surrounding personal protection, not just about the conceal carry license. I have told everyone I know that they should take their class from Paul. Thanks, Mike |
| Wade Clark Date: Saturday, February 7, 2009 |
I recently completed Carry Legal's Conceal and Carry class and was very happy with the instruction. The class was a great mix of firearm safety, the law, real life examples, as well as basic shooting techniques. It was more than I expected. |
| Bryan Herron Date: Monday, February 2, 2009 |
After taking the class I was stoked, and all I can say is that the experience is much better lived than read in a testimonial. I recommend this for everyone, even if you just curious about carrying a concealed weapon. There were 27 people in the class I attended and they were from all walks of life, from guys that claim to carry and wants to be legal to ladies that are just seeking a greater level of protection from Mr. Criminal. The classroom and range are very professionally managed, but kept on a very personal, interactive level. Classroom instruction was very thorough and the range instruction greatly improved my grouping. Both were well beyond the State required safety course that I was expecting. I can see why they have become Oklahoma's #1 training site for concealed carry. Where can I get one of those TDSA hats? |
| Aaron W. Date: Sunday, February 1, 2009 |
Paul,
I would like to thank you for the class this past Sat. Jan.31. I walked away from it with new facts that I did not know. You did an excellent job of making the class fun and informative. I will definately reccommend you to all my friends and family that are wanting to get their ccw. I can't wait to take other classes with TDSA! Thanks again and keep up the great work. Aaron |
| Joyce Date: Sunday, February 1, 2009 |
I really enjoyed the class, a lot of information, never bored, no lag time. The class held my attention all day, a very good class! |
| Shawn Ryan Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 |
Took the Jan. 18th course. Paul and company were extremely helpful and informative throughout the day. It's good to see several intelligent folks interested in preserving our 2nd Amendment rights!!
SHALL NOT be infringed!!! |
| Tonia Miskell Date: Sunday, January 18, 2009 |
Took the class today and have to say, it was not at all what I thought it would be; it went FAR beyond my expectations. Paul's passion for protecting a citizen's right to bear arms was quite impressive. I was expecting a boring class about nothing more than safety. He had an extraordinary ability of hitting on important issues (safety being first and foremost) and keeping it interesting and altogether enjoyable by adding in personal stories. The preparation he puts into his class is not something he composes in a day, a week, or even a month. His class clearly consisted of years of research done on his own time for no other reason than to educate us laymen out here on a variety of issues. I was most impressed by the simplicity in which he taught the class. I loved his actual citing of cases dating back to the 19th century as well. Furthermore, he made it even more interesting by inviting not only participation in discussion, but actual debate if one so desired (very nice to see such a humble man). Out on the range, his attitude was one to be most commended. Never did he make one feel like they lacked (even if they did, such as myself LOL). He addressed the issue of self doubt and shot that attitude down quickly at the beginning of class.
In summation, I would HIGHLY recommend his class to all. I would challenge anyone that thinks they know guns and the laws surrounding such to go to his class--ALL would leave taking a wealth of knowledge they never thought possible. Thanks, Paul - to you and your assistants! |
| Dayton Rodrigues Date: Sunday, January 18, 2009 |
Paul,
Thank you so much for your time and tips in class today. (January 18) I learned so much today and plan to put what you taught me to great use. I recommend your class to any who has doubts about taking it. I plan to take other classes that you guys offer. Thank you so much! Dayton |
| Kent Mitchell Date: Friday, December 19, 2008 |
Paul,
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for taking the time to help my mom qualify for her CCW license. I also appreciate you letting me sit in on the class even though I already have mine. I had taken my CCW class at a different location about 10 years ago and after witnessing your class, _I wish I had come to you first!_ You went above and beyond what is required of you as an instructor. Taking the time to teach the class, not just the basics, but techniques on how to properly grip the firearm and actually hit the target where they are aiming! Even though I have been licensed to carry for 10 years and shoot on a regular basis, I walked out of your class with a wealth of new knowledge. Thank you again and I am looking forward to my personal instruction sessions with you soon. Kind Regards, Kent Mitchell National Sales Director National Hall of Records |

I enjoyed the class today. You made the material interesting, informative and entertaining. I appreciate your knowledge and interest in promoting awareness of our Second Amendment rights. I'll recommend you to my friends! Thanks, Neil |
