After a day with Kent and Mitzi, I will finally carry my pistol now. This was a conceal carry renewal for me but I never carried my pistol prior to their class. Thank you both so much for your guidance and support.

As a new shooter I was extremely nervous about taking the beginner firearms class. Kent and Mitzi are very welcoming, patient and kind. They have a way of making you feel comfortable and confident during the course of the day.
