Wait for up to 45 calendar days for the background check to be completed.

Where to Stay

Live too far away to take the class without a hotel?  Look here for nearby accommodations and places for the family to visit.  I can provide a ride back to the hotel if within 5 miles of the range as most listed are so the family can have the car to use to shop or sight see while you are in training.

Why take a course with me?  Experience! Missouri law specifies what is required to be an instructor for a CCW class, and without other instructor training and experience it is less that what you might expect.  When picking an instructor look at:  Does he have a real business, instructor insurance, quality class use guns and safety gear for class use, sufficient staff to train you safely, and a willingness to train you--not just let you fail.  My class is 100% money back if you are not satisfied for any reason.  My goal is that every student pass without cutting any corners.  In Missouri I have met this goal for 4+ years. 

In addition to the state certificate does your prospective instructor give you a certificate that you can frame and use as proof that you have been to a basic firearms safety course so you can take a more advanced course from other instructors that may have such prerequisites?  I give you a professionally bound manual of the Statutes to keep. 

My prices reflect my experience level, my commitment to using top of the line training equipment, hiring enough competent certified staff to run a safe classroom and range, and giving you a course that you can be proud you attended.  I make no apologies for that and refuse to be caught up in a pricing war with instructors operating a business without proper training, support tools, staff, advanced certifications and insurance for their students safety.  This dollar barn mentality allows them to charge dollar barn prices for dollar barn training.  I think that everyone intelligent enough to want to protect themselves or their families knows that you get what you pay for, and that there are no free rides, especially when dealing with these life and death issues.

Is he confident enough to offer a 100% money back guarantee of your satisfaction?  If you are involved in a Deadly Force encounter your training WILL be an issue, don't pick an instructor based on saving a few dollars or having to drive a few miles.  You would not buy a Saturday night special for a Deadly Force encounter, why do the same for such an important first step? 

Before selecting an instructor look at my qualifications  and give me a chance to meet or exceed your training expectations.  Do you know of any other instructors that have as much free information posted as I provide?  Can you email and call them before or after a class with questions, if you can't what kind of instructor do you think they will be in class?  Instructors that use quality materials, certified staff, excellent credentials, proper insurance, and quality training locations will have expenses that require them to charge a moderate, but fair price.  If you are pricing an instructor that seems much lower than the average, ask yourself where he is cutting corners, because if you go with him you may find out too late. 

The fight won't be the way you WANT it to be---it will be the way it is, pick an instructor who knows this first hand from having been there and done that.  I have, and I can impart some of this in our short time together.  Having survived Lethal Force encounters does not make me a hero or even an expert.  It does allow me to teach from an advantage point that many instructors have never experienced.
