Thank you so much for your permit to carry class. It was most informative. I really learned a lot.

I’d like to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciated the gun knowledge and safety class that you presented. I went into the class at the request of a friend with whom I’d gone to a shooting range. She emphasized the importance of gun knowledge and safety, and that I was pretty much a neophyte in gun knowledge.  While I disagreed and thought I knew most everything I needed to know beforehand, I was really taken back by how much I really did not know.   The overview and specifics of gun handling, the vast number of sizes, calibers, functioning, mechanisms, owning and carrying regulations, liabilities, and insurance were all new to me. The emphasis on safety and legal aspects were especially enlightening. You made it interesting with some anecdotal examples. In other words, it became an entertaining learning experience. We’ll be in contact with you for some individual instruction after I get my permit.

Doug, we really enjoyed your class.  Hard to believe that it was 3.5 hours long, the time flew by as the class had a great pace and you talked to the class, not at the class.   After leaving the range today, I went and bought a Glock 43. The couple next to me laughed when I told them our instructor told the husbands to let their wives buy their own guns. Bill and I are excited to get some range time to tighten up our shooting. Thanks again, we are thrilled that we completed your class.

I thought the permit to carry class put on by Doug Taylor was well done.  Doug is very knowledgeable in the topic presented. You can tell throughout the class that he is very passionate about gun safety and about protecting you and yours. Doug also has credentials and training from several different organizations which helps with his presentation and to answer the class’s questions.    Doug used real-life examples to communicate the point he was trying to make.  I will be recommending to all of my friends who are interested in getting a permit to carry to take Doug's class.

I have just completed one of the BEST Minnesota Permit to Carry classes ever! It was given by Doug Taylor. Through the years I have gone through many classes but this particular one hit right to the heart of gun safety and knowledge that I truly needed to understand and appreciate as an American with his/her right to bear arms. Not just for the sake of carrying a gun but to protect my loved ones, others in danger, and myself.  In the difficult times we share now, we need more secure knowledge of just what we can do to keep gun safety and their use on the “good” side of the law, to keep our children and families safe.  I learned so much more in-depth about how several types of guns operate, proper handling and sighting in on these guns I never knew before, how to prepare my mindset for future unexpected encounters that I may face along my life’s journey.  I am better prepared now than I ever was before, thanks, Doug Taylor. Truly in my books one of the best Permit to Carry instructor and class ever!
