Testimonials
I am one who owned and handled firearms as a youth but did not advocate the institution of firearm ownership as an adult with
a family. I actually became very uncomfortable with the topic of firearms as well as being in the presence of one. Not because I thought firearms are bad and the damage I've seen them cause, but
because I never felt the need to own firearms or to have them in my home.
With the growth of violent acts becoming commonplace in our society and within our neighborhoods I felt the need to assess my
personal safety awareness or lack thereof.
This is where Mr. Lewis comes in.
Before we even talked about his firearms course offerings Mr. Lewis and I had many discussions about the art of personal
safety and the advantages of being prepared to handle any circumstances that could become violent.
So when I decided on firearm ownership I sought his advice which he offered willingly.
I opted to take the Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) 16 hour class he was offering. What I enjoyed about the class is how
prepared and professional Mr. Lewis was and the approach he takes in teaching. All questions were answered and no question was a dumb question. Not only did he thoroughly cover firearm safety but
physically introduced us to different types of firearms so we could actually handle them to better understand their safety attributes he was teaching. By using a hands on approach in the
classroom it made us totally aware of the common mistakes novice gun owners practice so we can avoid them. We actually, loaded, unloaded, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and stored our
firearms, ammunition and supplies. Most importantly, Mr. Stewart stressed the importance of ones mindset handling firearms and the responsibility of ownership.
Mr. Lewis also taught extensively the gun laws of this state and how they could differ nationally. With all the questions the
class asked Mr. Lewis provided precise answers with real life examples that were solidified though the use of personal experiences, textbooks, visual aids and videos.
Before we went to the range to qualify Mr. Lewis taught us range etiquette and how important it is to understand our
surroundings and complying with range rules. We also completed shooting drills in the classroom using electronic weapons and targets he provided. This proved to be invaluable training that helped
all the class participants qualify at the range on the first try.
Mr. Lewis is a well informed and highly trained instructor who constantly stays actively involved in extensive self training.
This is what makes his courses so dynamic and enjoyable. He practices what he preaches!
If you're looking for a quality firearm training program I encourage you to give Mr. Lewis a call. ~ K. Parsons - Aurora, IL
For years I have talked with individuals about the fears and fascination of gun operation. I wanted to own a gun for
multiple reasons primarily safety and security however was extremely overwhelmed with what it took to obtain my license. As a novice I knew that finding the right CCW course was critical to
understanding the pros and cons of owning a gun. I didn’t want to find a course that would spit out the law like a robot and simply show pictures of different equipment. I needed a
class environment where I could interact with not only the instructor and the attendees but also experience hands on discussion. A hands on environment where no question was frowned upon,
videos were a plenty and the pace was slow. Instructor Lewis made the 2 day course pleasant, informational and exciting. I was truly amazed at just how much I had learned and
understood. As additional requirements come up regarding my CCW I will be sure to enroll in Mr. Lewis’ courses. His expertise and passion around educating his students is unmatched
and I thank him for easing the stress and encouraging us all to take the next step of gun ownership. ~ Ms. Williams
