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!

Thanks Doug. I learned a lot yesterday. I also appreciate how you quickly figured out how it wasn’t an aiming problem by pulling the trigger for me. I will work on dry fire and be safe with that. I would definitely like to work with you again. 

I enjoyed the class and I learned more than in my first class. This was my 3rd class I have taken and the first with you.

Thank you for a truly great experience with again renewing my conceal carry permit for the 4th time. I learn more every time I attend a class, and renew my permit.  

I found that your class was informative, fast paced, fact-based, and not subject to watching silly (cases scenarios) videos, and well-rounded without needless side discussions, that can take away from a small class setting.

I found your (Gun Side Manner) at the range very positive and instructive. Always felt safe, comfortable, engaged and informed, and I knew what was expected. One thing I thought was great was the shooting from different handgun holds. Two hands, left hand only, and right hand only. That’s something that was different to me and was a welcomed change of what a person gets to, or comfortable with, no matter how much they shoot. 

I spoke with 2 of the 3 females that also attended the class, and they both expressed how comfortable they were with you as an instructor, how you explained things in detail and helped lower their nervous feelings, while handling a firearm, and shooting. That’s not something that they are as familiar with, compared to a person who has handled firearms all of their life.

The class was very informative and the 4 hours of seat time flew by.
