Thank you again for the two great classes---BASIC HANDGUN and CCW PERMIT that Eric and I  took.
 
We found you to be very professional but also highly receptive to our questions (neither of us had ever shot a handgun before the classes)  and I felt you conveyed just the right touch of how SERIOUS owning and operating a handgun is.
 
I was initally concerned,  being a women, that maybe I should consider a "women only" class to prevent any "male condescending behavior".  I"m so glad that I chose to go with your classes.  You answered all of our questions fully and with respect.
 
LADIES( AND GENTLEMEN), YOU CAN"T GO WRONG WITH ANY OF JOHN'S CLASSES.  AND HIS PRICES ARE THE BEST I'VE SEEN.
 
I look forward to taking future classes to improve my skills for real life situations.

John,
Words cannot express how much I appreciate your instruction these past few days (beginning Handgun 7-24-2010 & AZ CCW class 7-25-2010). You cannot put a price on your professional experience and the knowledge you have provided in discussing self defense and my responsibilities as a Arizona CCW. Your classes will come highly recommended to my friends and collegues.
 
Thank you for continuing to educate Arizona!

John,

Thank you so much for a highly informative and entertaining class today (10/24/2010).

Joe, Penny and myself were very impressed by the knowledge imparted to the class, both in content and presentation.

I cannot understand why any person would want to leave themselves wide open to Criminal and Civil ramifications by insisting to carry concealed and NOT understand the Laws involved.

You made what could have been a very confusing subject pure common sense.

This carried over to the range where the shooting section was carried out in a very professional but non-intimidating manner.

I am personally looking to advance my gun skills and understanding of complex situations to a much higher degree and will be looking to use your services well into the future.

Thank you for a great class today. (10/24/2010).

John,

Thanks for a very interesting class today (10/24/2010). 

We felt you did a very good job going over the material, and  providing the insight you have into the local law enforcement, DAs and what they are looking for.

I feel the money spent for this class was worth every dime…. And then some.

John,

I put this together today after talking with some friends about why I decided to take a CCW course and learn the Law aspects of concealed carry instead of just blindly carrying a concealed weapon:

“A new handgun for personal protection - $600.00

Ammunition for target practice and self defense - $150.00

CCW course from John Hansen/BlackWolf, including fingerprinting and license application - $110.00 (10/24/2010).

Knowing that, if ever you find yourself in a position where you need to protect your family and yourself, you have learned the Law pertaining to Justified Shooting and Use of Deadly Force …..PRICELESS.”

Knowing what I have learned from your instruction, I am more than happy to refer people to you so that they at least have a fighting chance in explaining their need to use deadly force if ever they find themselves in such a situation.

M. Squire

Thanks again for putting that class together (3/5/2011) for us and accommodating all of our needs. The class exceeded our expectations and everyone learned a whole lot...and had a great time to top it off. We are looking forward to practicing those drills that you taught us and hope to schedule another class with you soon.

John,

Today, exactly 6 days after completing your class (2/26/2011), I receive my Concealed Weapons Permit from AZ DPS.  This is exactly what you said may happen and it did!

Your class was very informative - especially since I've been a previous permit holder from another state and have been familiar with pistols for over 50 years.  I highly recommend you and your classes for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of pistols and especially seeking a Arizona permit.

Thanks again,

J. Kelso

John,

Thanks again for letting me sit through a second session of the classroom portion of your CCW class (3/5/2011), as it gave me additional useful information.  You are really a great instructor and very knowledgeable.  I’m trying to convince some of my other single lady friends that they need to take you class to learn how to protect their selves in the future.

M. Netherton

Also just wanted to say how much fun I had and how informative, patient, and professional you were.

My husband and I had a great time at the range (April 2011), good luck and best regards in your business I will recommend your course to my family and friends.

Aloha,

On May 21 2011 I attended the CCW class with John Hansen as the instructor.   I was very surprised at the amount of information given and to the amount of information I learned.  I am 62 years old and somewhat from the old school.  I was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains so, I had a good understanding of firearms and felt there was little I could be taught.  How foolish of me.  I learned more during this one day class than I’ve learned in the last 30 years about firearms and the safety thereof.  I also learned gun manipulation that reduced my grouping size by 50%.  John is a true professional and easy to talk with.  In my opinion he is also a born instructor.  I will be forever grateful for his patience and knowledge and leadership.  I look forward with excited anticipation to my next class.  Just a note:  John will teach you a little thing called “Trigger Reset” that I bet will reduce the size of your shot groupings more than you would ever believe.  This one learned skill was well worth the cost of the class and the time it took to attend.  As far as the price of the class, I’ve paid more for lunch at McDonalds.

 Thank you John for you training and leadership.

W. Bell

I was a student in your First Steps Pistol Orientation course May 21, 2011. You really gave me confidence and were very patient with all of us. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and really think you are a great teacher. Also the value for your course is fantastic! Thanks again John, I would refer you to anyone.

Sincerely, M. Taylor

John,

 

Thanks again for the personal instruction and assistance with applying for my AZ CCW.  My confidence was super high following today's range time and your suggestions for trigger control.  I was worried I had purchased too high a caliber, but after today (8-6-2011), I felt I was in control of the gun and shot placement vs. the other way around.  I look forward to spending more range time with you for the defensive handgun course at some point in the coming months. 

S. Hodin

John, Just wanted to pass along a thank you for the course (10-29-2011) and to say that I was able to hone some of the fundamentals learned there in self-practice
-- no longer quite as embarrassed at the 12-15yd range as I was before. A great confidence booster.
