My wife and I decided to hire Thomas for the training of our concealed permit. …we were nervous at first but quickly became involved and inquisitive to all aspects of the class…Thomas was very easy to listen too..and a great teacher of his trade…he made things very easy for a novice too feel like a schooled pro…we would recommend this class with Thomas to any friend or family

I took Tom’s course and was very impressed with his knowledge of concealment laws and gun safety. I recommend him for beginner or advanced.

I highly recommend Mr. Bear for teaching the concealed carry class. He is knowledgeable and professional and takes his time with you, so that you understand the laws, understand how and when to protect yourself, and how to properly and safely use a firearm. When you leave his class, you leave with confidence that if you are ever faced with the situation where you need to protect yourself, you can. He has also been there after the class, when I have had random questions, I can call him, and know he will have the answers that I need. I highly recommend him.

I didn’t know ANYTHING about guns, just what I see on TV. I’ve always been afraid of them and never even wanted one in my home. Being enlightened over the past several months on world affairs, I felt the need to protect my home and spouse. I reached out to Tom Bear who is an ‘official’ instructor.
I had no idea what to expect or even what I would walk away with from his class. Surprisingly I learned quite a bit and Tom went at MY pace as I asked a zillion questions pertaining to guns and laws. Mr. Bear is highly educated and extremely patient.
Once the class was over I was able to leave much more educated than when I walked in about gun laws.
(A few days later he took me to the firing range where I got to blow the shit out of card board silouttes. LOL)
The fact that if you are a concealed weapons card holder, there is NO 3 day waiting period to purchase a firearm is super convenient.
I now am the proud owner of 2 fire arms and Tom has trained me well at the range. I am fully capable of protecting my home and family now and I sleep better at night for it.
I highly reccommend Tom Bear for getting your carry & conceal license! Not only is he a fabulous instructor, but we have become great friends through the process and he STILL answers my questions when I have them.
Thanks Tom!
