Hello,

My wife and I took your class Sept 20 and were very impressed and pleased. We have since received our license to carry and had no problems. Thanks again for the great class and advice.

Thanks Richard… Ken highly recommends you and I greatly value his opinion. I want instruction on safety for me and my wife and more “awareness and situational self defense.”

Thanks,
Hunter

Mr. Deggs,

BTW thank you very much. The class was very informative and you taught in a way that kept the course serious and at the same time you were able to keep me laughing the whole evening. So BZ sir.

Thanks,
Jack N.

Great CHL course, taught by a police officer - someone who really knows the law! I would highly recommend it to anyone!!

Thanks,

Sadie Shelton

“Can't say enough great things about Bear Ventures and Richard. He has a perfect balance between keeping the classes informative and engaging, while appealing to people with broadly different skill and experience levels, while injecting humor and levity at just the right dose and also steering toward the conservative end of the spectrum. He walks the line between the clear and not so clear laws and real world experience to keep you and your family safe.”
