Tom & Paul are very knowledgeable, my son & I found the class very interesting. At no point were we bored, I thought four hours was going to be a long time to sit & listen to someone gab.

Took their CCW class in May 2018. Tom and Paul were excellent instructors. The 4 hours went by quickly. They are very qualified instructors and are very personable. The conference room that they rent out in West Allis for their training class is very comfortable with high back leather chairs. They us a smartboard for their presentation which includes some video clips. They provided bottle water during class. During the class they have several different pistols on display and show you how to load and handle a pistol. This was great experience for me since I have had very limited experience handling a pistol prior to this. When I went to the firing range the next day after the class I was able to safely rent a pistol and knew how to handle it, including loading and unloading the pistol. I highly recommend Shield Defense CCW class. Mike
