I want to thank you for the class you taught. I went to the class only
due to my husband's urging as he wanted me to have the training and get
a concealed carry license. Frankly, I was not that interested but was
willing to acquiesce. I knew I would enjoy spending the day with my
son even if I fell asleep during the training. To my surprise and
delight, I found myself very interested in everything you taught us.
Your presentations were insightful and informative. You gave plenty of
illustrations and examples as to how carrying a gun (oops...firearm)
changes the way you view the world. I found your scenarios fascinating
and I finally understand why people want to carry a firearm. You
handled the class very professionally; I would recommend your class to
anyone.
My other son, Caleb, had already attended a concealed
carry class in Wagoner county but you graciously allowed him to sit at
the back and listen in as he was with us for the day. He found your
class superior to the one he had attended, learning many items of
interest to him although he had already had the required training. He
is very serious about carrying a firearm so the training was very
applicable to him. Thank you for allowing him to sit in. He hopes to
take further classes with you; he recently was added to your email list.
I am glad to know that professionals such as you are training people
how to handle weapons. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.

Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much Fred and I enjoyed your class. I just can't imagine a better experience. You may the laws understandable, took dull subjects and added interest, and taught me a ton about the proper way to handle and shoot a gun (Fred even said he learned some things and he's been shooting for 30 years). On top of that, you and Sabra are so friendly and make the entire class comfortable and at-home. Having a female instructor during the class made me, as a woman, feel even better. Your facilities are great. The dedicated classroom facility, the firing range only a 100' away, and you limiting the number of people per class are a huge plus. We looked into other classes where they were packing 30 people into a small room and it just couldn't have been as good a learning environment as you provided. You have such an ability to tackle very important issues with tact and the seriousness they deserve but without making me feel under pressure. To be honest with you, I was not looking forward to the class but saw it as something that had to be done. Now I can't quit telling my friends how much fun I had and how informative the class was. A big thank-you to you and Sabra for a wonderful experience.

Big shout out to Tom and Sabra Smith from OklahomaConcealedCarry.com. 'Stillwater Armory' does a great job. I know a number of people who have been through the concealed carry "factories" in the big town, but they (Tom and Sabra) put on a very casual, hands on and informative class. It's worth the little drive to Stillwater on a Saturday. Keep up the great work.

I was in your class last weekend. I really enjoyed it! You all did a great job. Everything was very smooth and instruction given extremely clearly. At no point did I second guess what I was supposed to be doing.

Thanks again! I was kind of worried that the class was going to be uncomfortable considering 20 year old girls are not so common in settings like concealed weapons classes, ; ) but you really made me feel at ease.

Tom, I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I appreciated your class, as well as the attitude you conveyed during it. While I have a lot of friends who also describe themselves as “gun nuts”, most of them approach the subject with a lack of severity that disturbs me. I appreciate your seriousness. My thanks.

Thank you so much for putting together our private class. I have spoken to the majority of the people from the class. They were thrilled with the class, learned a lot, and had a great time. Thanks again!

You made the laws more understandable than my law professors. Thanks for explaining everything in a way that is easily understood.

I've never fired (and only held unloaded handgun once)! I really enjoyed learning and becoming comfortable with handling and firing a handgun. Gained confidence in the safety aspects.
