Testimonials

I just completed the NRA/Winchester Basic Pistol course with Gary from L&L Training.

Gary is a 25 year veteran of the US Marine Corps, but he has the unique ability to leave that aside and to speak to civilians as well. I personally have a back ground in firearms via previous military service and know what to look for in a training course. I took the course from the basics to determine if this would be a good place to have my wife attend.

Gary is an excellent trainer. He has enough back ground in firearms to be able to relate book work to real life. He stresses safety in the class and practices what he preaches on the range.

There are several good trainers in the area, and a couple that I would be more than a little concerned about. I would not hesitate to send my wife through the course with Gary, nor anyone else.

Gary is a great instructor. 1st Class. Highly recommend! – Griffin W. 3-25-2023

Great trainer! Very professional and knowledgeable! I highly recommend L&L Firearms Training for basics through CCW and continuous practice/training.

Enjoyed the class. Appreciated all the review for the renewal. Learned and clarified some new information. Safety was of top concern. Couldn’t ask for much more 🙂 – Jeremiah 10-3-23

I am a returning student of Gary and Connie. I took the Ladies Basic Pistol Class and then the CCW class. I was impressed with the the presentation of the information, the organization of the class and how both Gary and Connie are knowledgeable and make you feel ease. The CCW course was done in a hybrid model due to Covid restrictions, but I didn’t feel cheated. Gary runs a tight ship at the range and provides good supportive feedback. I would highly recommend any of their classes.

I’ve been to a couple CCW courses and L&L is the best. Gary and Konnie are very friendly, provides easy to learn in depth training. My favorite part of the training was the malfunction walkthrough and practical application. Definitely will be returning for future training.

Gary and Konnie are the epitome of professional and easy going. Respect and courtesy to all the class attendees was their hallmark. Thanks so much for making the process painless and enjoyable. My best to both of you! Brian H. July 18, 2022

I highly recommend L&L Training. Gary, Konnie and Jack are great instructors. I’ve been to 2 courses, brought family members and plan to go to more courses. If you’re a beginner or intermediate shooter looking to learn and shoot more; look no further, they are amazing.

I took the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course in June 2020, and it was exactly as advertised. Classroom setting until breaking for lunch, and then the rest of the day at the Rainbow range for hands on work. You buy your own lunch.

The class setting was clean, well set up and included hands-on work with firearms. The hands on portion included seated and standing exercises with unloaded firearms and a laser target. The focus there is on breathing, aiming and trigger control. Getting hands on in a calm environment is very helpful, especially with folks who are visibly nervous touching a firearm. Gary, his wife and Jack had three stations, so the nine students each got valuable time and direction.

After lunch, the set up at Rainbow was private because they used an instructor range. No other shooters wear nearby, so it was not as intimidating. Three shooter tables were set up, and three instructors worked with one student at a time on 22 pistol target shooting while the other folks sat well behind the line. I can’t emphasize how much help that one on one assistance was. Some of the shooters were visibly nervous, but the instructors took them through baby steps if needed. The focus was on aiming and trigger control. Lots of repetition with the goal of building confidence and muscle memory while safely handling the pistol.

The instructors met students precisely where they needed to be met, and so more comfortable or naturally adept students were able to go further. The session wrapped up with the opportunity to shoot 45, full and compact 9MM and some other odds and ends.

This is a great class, in a great setting taught by seasoned instructors. It was well worth the investment.

Great operation! Highly recommend!

Gary and the team are top notch. Give them your business and you’ll be glad you did!

As a new gun owner and inexperienced, I sought to find an instructor in my location to get me started learning the fundamentals of gun safety. I found “Konnie”
L & L Firearms Training. She is professional, patient and thorough. She immediately put me at ease and gave me the initial tools through the NRA Basic pistol class to begin practicing safely. She encouraged me to build on what she had taught and made it rewarding and fun. I highly recommend her to any of you ladies needing courage to handle a weapon. You will be glad you did! I am 63 years old and I’m here to say, “it’s never too late to learn” and Konnie is your gal!

I had a great time! Gary is an excellent instructor! I would definitely go again! – Facebook

Had a blast shooting today, thanks to Gary! He was patient and thorough! He really broke it down and made me feel safe! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Can’t wait for the next time!

Couldn’t ask for better!

Had a great experience yesterday with Gary and Konnie at the Rainbow Range in Fallbrook. I took the CA CCW Firearms Safety and Proficiency course and passed. Both are very knowledgeable and professional. They were very patient with me as I qualified to carry a revolver. M Harper

“5-STAR” training from L&L Firearm training. Gary, Konnie and Jack instructed an initial CCW Training course that was well worth it’s cost and time. We’ll orchestrated, patient, professional, and proficient in material and hands on firearm safety and live fire instructions.
I’ll be sure to become a member, in addition to participating in upcoming and future Firearm training classes.

L&L firearms San Diego CCW class in Temecula was awesome. Instructors are proficient and easy going. Looking forward to taking other courses offered by Gary and Konnie.

Thanks again!

– Daniel A.

very well done. Informative and the malfunction practice was something never covered in previous courses I’ve attended. – Sergio M. 5-7-2023

I was very impressed with the quality of instruction for the CCW Safety and Range qualifications. You can tell Gary is an absolute pro and really enjoys helping people become proficient and above all SAFE! I can’t wait to take more advanced classes from him in the future.

Great class, very informative, would recommend to all seeking their CCW. Ryan H. 5-10-2023

Amazing experience! Completed the 8 hour woman’s beginning pistol class!! So patient! Most important: safe and they made sure to drill in the safety!

Awesome class! I recommend to anyone that wants to know about different handguns and how to operate them safely and with confidence.

Gary & Konnie were very helpful and patient. Great instructions Peter S. June 7, 2022

Great class and very informative. If your a beginning shooter or looking to get a firearm, I highly recommend you take a class with L&L firearms training. You’ll learn a great deal about handling a firearm. The instructors are very knowledgeable and make it a great experience. Augie C.

I took the NRA Basic’s course and felt that it was very well organized and executed. Konnie and her son were awesome, it was fun, safe, informative, and a great value. I’d highly encourage any new gunner owner to take this course and L&L did an awesome job! February 25, 2021

This was a great class,Gary was a very knowledgeable instructor, who answered all of my questions . Great oversite at the range. This is a great class if you are deciding on a gun, you get to try out six different models. I would recommend this highly, I am to get my family members to get up here for it.

Gary and Konnie did a great job. Will be looking to attend additional courses as time permits. Well done!! – Lafe B. 3-25-2023

Gary and Konnie… Very knowledgeable and approachable. Lex -3-01-2023

I’ve attended Gary’s events a few times now and I always come out of it with new things I’ve learned to better myself as a gun owner. Konnie and Jack were fantastic engaging with participants. I brought along my neighbor and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be back for more training with L&L in the very near future!

“Highly recommend this course. Very comprehensive training for anyone pursuing a CCW.” July 2024

This is my second time taking my CCW renewal class with this fantastic organization. Gary, Connie, and Jack were superb. Patient, a wealth of knowledge, accommodating and friendly…

L&L Firearms would always be my first choice for firearms training. Thanks guys!

(Until you’ve trained with Jack, you don’t know Jack)

“Gary was an excellent instructor. Very detailed and precise.” Glenn M. – January 2025

My mom and I signed up for Gary/Konnie’s Basic Pistol class and we feel more comfortable with handling a pistol. Gary was full of knowledge and his expertise was amazing. They were very patient and answered all our questions. The classroom setting was comfortable as well and we were able to take breaks throughout class. I look forward to meeting with them for future classes and events:) Totally recommended!

Gary was a very knowledgeable and awesome firearms instructor. Really enjoyed his training and so excited about taking the next step in receiving my CCW license. Highly recommended!!! I plan to take some more advanced training classes down the road. Hopefully Gary will be an instructor for my next training class!!! 08/31/2020

THE BEST EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!! Went into the basic pistol class with absolute no knowledge about firearms, I never even seen one so close in my life, let alone shoot one. The instructor Konnie was so exceptional in the teaching and structure of her class that I actually had the confidence and excitement when heading over to the range portion of the class. At the range, Konnie and her son, Jack, were so encouraging and completely engaged with all the students including myself. They helped tweak the little things that were throwing off my accuracy when it came to shooting and they were non-stop completely supportive in everything I did. I’m so thankful that I came to L&L Firearms Training to learn from this amazing family! I will definitely be returning to improve and grow my skills in the art of marksmanship. Thank you Konnie and Jack for providing me with the knowledge to safely exercise my 2nd Amendment rights and finding a lifelong hobby that I absolutely am in love with now! Sara S.  October 2, 2021

Gary no matter how many times he’s taught this class he never loses his enthusiasm , passion and understanding as a CCW carrier himself. His Military background helps give the class a firm grip on safety and what’s expected of them. Both he and Konnie are a hard working team that gives each participant personalized attention, correction and help when needed However, I am surprised at the few “ newbies “ or renewal people that really need more basic classes and practice- I don’t know how they fared ( pass or not) but I’m always heads up w these few. Today during loaded no live fire practice I had one on each side of me – In what I saw These two were not qualified to be at the CCW course -I had to continually Watch them – all three staff helped them out extensively- and we’re on the ball cos they saw what I saw. I’m no expert but 8 years prior LEO experience and DX at Edward’s AFB RANGE and at SBSO Academy FBI training course taught me there’s no substitute for frequent range training, a clean GUN that you are very familiar with..thanks for a great course . See you in 2 years. David 5-20-2023

Excellent class–Instructors were knowledgeable and presented all information necessary for the classroom portion. They also reviewed gun safety during the qualification portion of the class. Highly recommend L & L Firearms Training – Barbara E. 3-1-2023

Great training. I have many years of firearm experience and I Still learned something new. Specifically, the malfunction drills.  Well worth it. Gilbert 10.12.22

Did my CCW renew class today.  Excellent instructors.   Patient, and informative.   I actually learned to shoot better with a few techniques they shared with me. 08/16/2020

Class was revealing and Informative. Well drafted and delivered. Bravo Zulu ! – Carlos T. 3-1-2023

Gary and Connie (and their other guy) were great. They were professional, nice and kept everything very safe. I will be returning for another class soon. I highly recommend these guys for any firearms training.
Thanks Gary/Connie

Excellent instruction from friendly and knowledgeable staff. Absolutely no pressure. Kevin P. June 7, 2022

Thanks again for the great day at the shooting range.  For my first exposure to firearms it was better than I could have ever imagined it would have been.  My confidence with being around and using them has gone from a 1 to a 9 in one day.  It was awesome!

Very thorough training. Constant emphasis upon safety and common sense throughout. Skills were clearly demonstrated, practiced and reinforced. I loved this class and would take it again when I qualify again in two years. Gary and his crew are professional and affable. They made the total experience enjoyable and built our confidence so the experience was not stressful. Thank you so much. William Frantz 6-4-2023

Signed my wife and daughter-in-law up for the **Lady’s**NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course, which they attended a few weeks ago. The wife has told me in the past I have the patience of a piss-ant, when it comes to teaching anybody (her) anything significant. It had been over 20 years since she minimally handled a firearm and the DIL had never handled one; so what better way to have this training covered – via a company that gets high ratings for how they handle business!

I made some inquiries, via e-mail, beforehand and Gary & Konnie were quick to respond and very informative. I appreciate that level of professionalism!

The normal indoor classroom portion of the course was moved outdoors to the range, due to the covid restrictions. I am glad it was not a cold day for them lol. After the classroom portion they moved on to live fire training. They had a blast (no pun intended), stated they learned a lot and feel much more comfortable handling firearms now. For first timers they did pretty darn well, showing me their targets which they brought home and proudly presented. They both stated that Konnie and her son (who assisted with the training) were great.

I purchased some snap cap / dummy rounds so they could practice loading / unloading, making safe and general handling / manipulation of the firearms they have access to in a safe manner; to build upon their muscle memory. I highly recommend you do this for the novice in the family.

I really appreciate, and recommend, L&L Firearms Training.

Took the basic pistol course on Saturday. Konnie was our instructor and she was very knowledgeable and took her time to explain everything thoroughly. I really enjoyed this course and walked away feeling more confident and trained correctly. Will be taking more courses in the near future.

A sincere Thank You Gary for your kindness and patience. Your knowledge and encouraging instructions helped me do something I’ve always wanted to do. Can’t wait to shoot again!!! So much fun!

Great class easy to understand and will take the time if a student is having a issue. Steve P. July 2, 2022

The right choice for me and a handful of women friends to get our basic pistol training in an arranged private class. Konnie was supportive, and professional! Getting through the experience with friends was a great way to start our new understandings and establish basic skills. Looking forward to continuing our skill development. Konnie at L&L is highly recommended! Especially for woman. – 12/2020

I don’t know where to really start when it comes to Gary and Konnie. I randomly found an ad for firearms training on Google. I was pretty comfortable with firearms but I wanted to learn the ins and outs of handling firearms safety and efficiently. Over the next couple years I’ve attended Gary and Konnie’s classes for various firearms training and I am now on my way to becoming a NRA Instructor and future USPSA competitive shooter. I don’t think I could of found a better way of progressing through the sport/hobby. Will 100% recommend anyone who is willing to learn how to shoot and operate firearms safety and efficiently.

Had a great experience with Gary!

I purchased the pistol course for my 75 year old mother for Christmas. Gary was very thorough during the classroom portion, taking the time to make sure my mother understood the material. I could tell he had a lot of experience with not only shooting but with teaching and facilitating the material.

At the range, Gary’s expertise really shone. His eye was always sharp, making sure the safety rules were followed while at the same time encouraging her as we progressed through the course.

Definitely recommend!!

Gary and Connie are very informative and will make the process less intimidating for those who are thinking twice about taking this course. Gary and Connie make sure you leave with the basic knowledge and understanding of CCW. In fact they do such a great job I wanna sign up with them for further training.

Thanks again for everything guys!

-Sergio G.

The quality and professionalism from Gary and Konnie is amazing. The training is clear and concise and I left feeling more confident. I highly recommend anyone who wants to get back to the basics and more or needs to start fresh, train with L&L. They are patient, encouraging and full of knowledge. I look forward to seeing them again.07/13/2020

Gary is an awesome teacher!!  Patient & knowledgable
Also bought my gun & ammo from him.  Top notch!! Susan J. 2.12.22

Great instruction led by people who are knowledgeable and care. Well done. Recommend this class to anyone. – Gregory J 5-6-2023

I took their Initial CCW Course and it was as expected. I qualified with two of my pistols and the experience was great. Gary and Konnie took the time to go through the material and answer all the questions asked during the course. They did not rush us at all during the process and even stayed behind to ask a few general questions and they took the time to answer them. You need 100 rounds for the handgun you will practice and qualify with and for the additional handguns you want to qualify with you need the ammo needed only to qualify only (ammo is hard to come by now a days).07/23/2020

Professional. Knowledgeable. Patient. Thorough. I’ve taken 3 classes with Gary, Konnie and Jack and I’m just getting started. I am a first time gun owner and by the time I was done with my first class, basic pistol training, I developed an incredible level of confidence about using my gun. And with every class I complete, I leave with more confidence in using my firearm, while acquiring the right mindset. If you are serious about learning how to operate your firearm and to be brought up-to-speed on current gun laws, L&L Firearms Training is where you want to go. February 22, 2021

Take it from the expert! Gary is phenomenal, 25 years active duty Marine! great course and class materials! safety of everyone is Gary and Konnie’s priority at the range.

Highly recommend to everyone! I’m bringing my whole family next time, and will come back for an advanced class. Noel M. 2.17.22

Thank you for being patient, trustworthy, & knowledgeable! – Course Evaluation

Highly recommend L&L Firearms Training, we learned a lot through professional, highly knowledgeable, and experienced instructors Konnie and Jack. Although it was a long day, it was an empowering experience and looking forward to attending more classes in the future to gain more skills. March 2, 2021

“Gary and Konnie are great instructors! Gary’s lecture is engaging and not your typical dry/boring PowerPoint. They are always involved and willing to help on the range, and I always feel that they are keeping everyone safe. They run their business with integrity and are always available to help with any accommodations needed. I have been to two courses and plan on seeing them every two years 😁” Valerie O. – November 2024

The right choice for me and a handful of women friends to get our basic pistol training in an arranged private class.

Konnie was supportive, and professional!

Getting through the experience with friends was a great way to start our new understandings and establish basic skills.

Konnie at L&L is highly recommended! Especially for woman.

Gary was a great instructor. He makes you feel comfortable with the weapons and most importantly makes sure you have fun! Can’t wait to do some more shooting with him again.

Awesome experience! Very professional staff. I’m a Master Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps with 27 and a half years in. Grade A Course!! Gary being a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant as well I felt at home having a fellow Marine teach the course. Ooh Raah! 03/2021

Gary and the other instructors were true professionals who knows their business. Everything was explained in great detail and easy to understand. The course material was laid out in such a way to were I found myself answering multiple questions during the review. I’ve already started recommending this course to my friends who may be considering CCW. – Zuberi S. 7-23-23

I had a blast with these guys. Classroom lesson was very informative and the range time was great. – J 03-01-2023

Excellent instruction from friendly and knowledgeable staff. Absolutely no pressure. Kenneth R. June 7, 2022

Konnie is a very knowledgeable supportive, professional and patience instructor. I had a great time and learned a lot from her. I will definitely take more classes with Konnie at L&L Firearms.

I took a Basic Pistol training from Gary and it was great.
He had a great teaching style and made it fun. He’s also very much emphasizing firearms safety and was able to bring the importance across.
Our group of 4 people had a lot of fun at the range for the practical part and I saw great marksmanship and improvements in some of the participants.
We were able to shoot many different pistols and various calibers.
I can recommend to take a class for Gary to anybody. 5 Stars.

Great experience for the entire family. We all really learned a lot. Konnie is very knowledgeable and all about gun safety safety safety. I would highly recommend this firearms training business. My wife is signing up for private lessons. Mark O. September 6, 2021

Outstanding instructors… knowledgeable, safety oriented, and provide assistance when needed. – Richard F. 7-26-2023

Absolute great time with this training team on the range during the requal for my Riverside County CCW. Great instruction, great instructors, and extremely relevant information was passed in class.

I just completed L&L 16 hour conceal carry class for initial ccw applicants and every thing was great. Gary is a great instructor who really takes his time explaining all the laws about conceal carrying in the state, he shows exciting passion with his teachings. It doesn’t matter your experience with firearms or your background just come with an open mind to learn the difficult laws we have to navigate and Gary and his team will be happy to explain and teach.

I used L&L to do my CCW renewal training and range qualification. Gary and Connie were great. I learned a lot from them even after being a lifetime shooter. Thank you guys for everything. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend L&L Firearms Training, we learned a lot through professional, highly knowledgeable, and experienced instructors Konnie and Jack. Although it was a long day, it was an empowering experience and looking forward to attending more classes in the future to gain more skills.

Absolutely great team, Gary, Connie and team were great. Tha class and course training is a must for anyone…
Learnt a lot…will take more classes from them

I was very pleased with their training for my CCW renewal and Gary and Connie were awesome! I’ll be taking their tactical courses. Highly recommend them. 01/2021

Comfortable Learning Environment. Christopher M. June 7, 2022

“Gary and Connie were a joy to work with. They provided a comfortable learning environment with enough push to get your heart rate up on range day. Gary is full of info and will work hard to find the answer if he doesn’t know it by heart.” James R. – December 2024

“Professional and enjoyable. I learned so much. The past few months I have taken two courses – I am looking forward to many more.” Chris T. – August 2024

Gary and Konnie are so professional and safety conscious. They were patient with everyone to make sure we all understood their instructions and commands. I learns a lot!  – Marco F. July 2022

Just completed my first firearms training class, and it was a joy. L&L’s staff are very professional and very knowledgeable. I learned so much. I recommend L&L Firearms Training to anyone who is interested in learning firearms safety and shooting. I plan on taking several more classes in the near future. Hubby S. October 4, 2021

Excellent place for training and very easygoing owners! Five stars all the way! Definitely recommend!!!

I have recently completed both the CCW Prep and then a month later the CCW initial. As an intermediate shooter that only started as a beginning a few months ago in May of 2020, I am grateful for the patience, dedication and attention to extreme detail that Gary, Konnie and Jack were able to teach to their students. These classes not only served the point to move forward with my CCW requirements, but more importantly have made me a more safe, aware, proficient and confident shooter. Because of these classes and the community of people I have met I have actually started to take up interest in the sport of shooting, this says a lot to someone who just 6 months ago had never fired a handgun. Thanks to Gary and Konnie for everything, I am very appreciative I chose to train with L&L Firearms Training. 10/12/2020

My husband, daughter and I took the Basic Pistol class. Konnie was an awesome instructor!  We learned a lot and we were given manuals and written information to take home to further educate ourselves on the importance of gun safety. The classroom portion was very informative and Konnie answered any questions we had in a way that was easy to understand. The onsite range part of the class was great!  We felt very safe in the environment and Konnie and Jack were very professional when teaching aspects of gun safety while properly handling the guns. Target practice was a blast!  We thank you for such an awesome and educational experience.  We highly recommend L&L Firearms Training to anyone who would like to learn about gun safety and handling guns. Eleni M. 8.30.21

I had a blast with these guys. Classroom lesson was very informative and the range time was great.  – JL 3-1-2023

I used to be afraid of Guns. Gary taught me everything I needed to know with patience and kindness. Thanks Gary.

I recently completed the basic pistol course with L&L Firearms Training. The course was well organized, informative and was a friendly professional environment. Konnie was awesome instructor. It was time well spent and I highly recommend L & L.

I’ve been to a couple CCW courses and L&L is the best. Gary and Konnie are very friendly, provides easy to learn in depth training. My favorite part of the training was the malfunction walkthrough and practical application. Definitely will be returning for future training. Roy D. July 17, 2022

I signed up for the NRA Basic Pistol Class and was thoroughly impressed with the the course. I felt that the classroom and range portions were perfectly matched with regards to length, learning the fundamentals & above all, safety. The instructors, Gary and Konnie, are extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the course yet they put out the information in a way that makes complete sense to students that have little to no background in firearms. L&L Firearms will be my #1 recommendation for all friends and family going forward. Also, I highly recommend adding the extra pistols to test out following the NRA portion. This really helped me decide exactly which pistol(s) I preferred. 05/07/2021

After taking the class with Gary and Konnie, it was better than I could have ever thought. While I felt nervous in the beginning, Gary and Konnie were very helpful with what to expect, answered questions, and kept safety as a number one priority. Any minor infractions/improper techniques were corrected quickly and there were plenty of opportunities to practice. I look forward to taking classes with them in the future. A+++!!!. Darrick W. May 9, 2021

I really recommend l&l for your firearm training, even though I have been to different shooting ranges with my own pistol, I realized I was developing bad habits. After taking class with l&l firearm training I learned how to properly grip pistol, and the 5 fundamentals of shooting: (grip,breath,hold,trigger and follow thru) . But most important was learning how to safely handle a firearm. I will be signing up to other classes they offer including reloading ammo. March 24, 2021

Great class and I learned a lot about the rifle. I would recommend this class to anyone new to the AR15.Great class and I learned a lot about the rifle. I would recommend this class to anyone new to the AR15. Paul M. June 7, 2022

Extremally informative. Instructors understand and are well trained in communicating key information regarding all aspects of weapon training and safety. Very helpful and patient in the gun handling aspect of the class. – 02-20-2023

Gary & Konnie are excellent instructors. They focus heavily on safety and fundamentals, but always with an eye toward the whatever goal you are trying to reach. Very easy to learn from, not intimidating at all. I highly recommend them!

Great job L&L team!! I learned a lot, it’s been many years since I was an active duty Marine and had training this great!! They did a great job with instruction, safety and were very professional. I would highly recommend L&L for CCW training and any other firearms training courses. I will definitely reach out to them for ongoing training and will now try to get my Wife and Daughter to join a basic shooter class.

Went here for my CCW Prep class today and going to enroll into my CCW Class and qualifier here soon. Konnie is an excellent teacher, very patient, and one hell of a shooter, making another student’s firearm a literal tack driver with less than 1″ groupings. Also, found out during my prep class that her husband Gary also works with my contract, small world. So it’s really nice to be around familiar faces and support not only locally, but most of all, our veterans.

The range L&L uses (Rainbow Shooting Range, nestled right off the I-15 N side) is really nice (actually pretty too) and insanely clean, has hand-wash stations and port-a-potties that are clean as a port-a-potty can be, so plan accordingly. Cannot wait to go back there, I might have to sign up for a 1-year membership!

L&L firearms San Diego CCW class in Temecula was awesome. Instructors are proficient and easy going. Looking forward to taking other courses offered by Gary and Konnie. Dan A. September 5, 2021

I learned a lot! I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning how to shoot a rifle/shotgun. -Facebook

I just completed my CCW course with Gary and Konnie. I highly recommend L&L Firearms Training. They were thorough, making sure all of the information was covered. Gary and Konnie emphasized safety and proper technique, which are crucial to gun handling and ownership. They were encouraging and did not “talk down” to us at any point. I qualified with my Glock 19, and was very impressed with how the class was organized and run. Whether you are just starting out with firearms, or are a more advanced shooter, Gary and Konnie will take good care of you!

Did my CCW renew class today. Excellent instructors. Patient, and informative. I actually learned to shoot better with a few techniques they shared with me.

The right choice for me and a handful of women friends to get our basic pistol training in an arranged private class.

Konnie was supportive, and professional!

But most important was learning how to safely handle a firearm. I will be signing up to other classes they offer including reloading ammo.

I contacted Gary for a basic pistol safety and shooting course. There was not a class posted but when I called him he immediately scheduled one that fit my timeframe. This was for my daughter and I and she was only going to be home one weekend this summer.

The course was very detailed and was exactly what my daughter and I both needed as we had never handled a pistol before. He took the fear and mystery out of the process. The class size was small so we had great personal attention to our questions.

After the in-class work, we met on the shooting range. He went over basic etiquette on the range, and once again over all the safety information for handling the pistols.

Certification process was clear cut requirements. Of course my daughter shot to a higher level than me! 3 of us in the group decided to add on the option to shoot 5 other style pistols. This was definitely worth it and I recommend adding it on to your package!

Thank you Gary. We will both be calling on you when we are ready to take the next step in shooting, and making a purchase selection for a pistol.

Hands down the best CCW training I have been to and I have been to a couple. I cannot wait to attend more training with Gary and Konnie. Kyle 11/8/22

Just completed my ccw qualification with L&L. I passed ok but realized My skills are lacking. Gary, Konnie and team are really good. I’m looking forward to more training with them. Thanks again guys for your efforts! Gabe S. 6.28.21

I highly recommend L&L Training. Gary, Konnie and Jack are great instructors. I’ve been to 2 courses, brought family members and plan to go to more courses. If you’re a beginner or intermediate shooter looking to learn and shoot more; look no further, they are amazing. Mike R. August 3, 2021

I have to say that this was both a very insightful yet fun training. Gary is very knowledgeable about guns, safety and weapons handling. Been a beginner when it comes to my experience with weapons, I was hesitant about the training thinking it would be way too advanced for me, Gary took the time to walk us through basics and all the different parts of the guns and the best way to handle them (which I’d been doing wrong in the past). Shooting different guns at the range really allowed us to understand the difference is force, recoil, weight, etc…Needless to say, i can’t recommend if enough. I will even have my wife take this training in the near future.

What a great experience. We had been looking into taking a basic firearm safety training class, but weren’t impressed with what we were seeing … until Gary! His class truly delivered. I had NO experience with firearms and my fiancé had been shooting before, but when he was in his teens. Gary is very, very knowledgable, and made us feel very safe and now competent with our own pistols. We’re definitely going to take more classes. His training is top notch and shouldn’t be missed. If you’re looking as a beginner (like me) or if want more advanced training, this is the guy to see! Excellent, professional and very, very fun! I can’t recommend Gary enough.

First class. Good, clear and informative instruction. Felt very safe for a beginner and it was fun!

Professional, respectful, and pleasant atmosphere.  High end knowledgeable
instructors ensure a safe learning environment.  I’ve been into shooting sports for 50 years and enjoyed many learning environments, this was one of the best.  As a hunter and former US Marine, I highly recommend L&L Firearms Training for new and veteran shooters. T.S. 7.12.21

“Talk about good training, usuable traning, I knew guns before going here, and still i learned new scenarios and new ways to practice handling malfunctions by myself.” Westly F. – November 2024

Gary and Connie are very informative and will make the process less intimidating for those who are thinking twice about taking this course. Gary and Connie make sure you leave with the basic knowledge and understanding of CCW. In fact they do such a great job I wanna sign up with them for further training. 07/20/2020

Thanks again for everything guys!

-Sergio G.

Excellent place for training and very easygoing owners! Five stars all the way! Definitely recommend!!! Brian H. 9.9.22

I took this class and qualification today. Gary and Konnie are very knowledgeable and took the time to instruct and insure that everyone in the class understood and performed the tasks correctly and safely. I will without hesitation refer my friends and family to them. Thank you both for all you do. 05/20/2020

Great training. I have many years of firearm experience and I Still learned something new. Specifically, the malfunction drills. Well worth it.

I’m so happy that I finally started and completed this course in a small setting with wonderful, knowledgeable instructors. They go through everything thoroughly and I am amazed at how much I took away from the course after just one day. I’m hooked and excited to continue this journey. The instructors are attentive, patient, and helpful. If you’re female and thinking about doing this course – JUST GO FOR IT! My instructor for the range was Konnie and she was so patient with me. Tailored, professional, and thorough is how I would describe my experience. Again, I am so happy that I made the time. Stop wishing, start doing my fellow Yelpers! The location is super easy to get to (De Portola medical building, Suite 203) and the range is just 10 mins away headed toward Rainbow.

Amazing firearms education . I left their course with so much knowledge and training. Everything was organized and professional. Instructors were patient and attentive. I finished their course today feeling confident and comfortable with firearms. I look forward to taking more of their courses. I highly recommend them.

After taking the class with Gary and Konnie, it was better than I could have ever thought. While I felt nervous in the beginning, Gary and Konnie were very helpful with what to expect, answered questions, and kept safety as a number one priority. Any minor infractions/improper techniques were corrected quickly and there were plenty of opportunities to practice. I look forward to taking classes with them in the future. A+++!!! May 9, 2021

I had my first class with Konnie and I am going back for more! She is so knowledgeable, kind and patient, which is refreshing! Can’t wait to learn more and hone my skills at L & L. Elise D. April 8, 2022

Great experience for the entire family. We all really learned a lot. Konnie is very knowledgeable and all about gun safety safety safety. I would highly recommend this firearms training business. My wife is signing up for private lessons.

Have more classes, this one filled up fast. All training is good training and this was quality training done safely with pleasant, own pace, learning environment. – Callistus S. 5-8-2022

“This was my second CCW Renewal course. First course not taken by L&L but I will say L&L was top notch for training safety and knowledge. I learned more with L&L they were organized time efficient and straight to the point. I highly recommend them. I will be taking more courses and referring my friends and family.” Rose G. – January 2025

“I’ve been doing the Intro to Action Shooting events with L&L for about two years now, off and on – this is a very unique experience that isn’t offered anywhere else in SoCal that will challenge all levels of shooters and doesn’t come with the intimidation factor of going to a “real” match, although the courses, scoring, and setup of L&L’s events are all very real. It’s a great way to get a sense of what a competitive shooting match feels like, but with fellow beginners. I think one of the best parts of L&L’s events is the ability to experiment with new ideas, gear, and techniques, as you will run the same course multiple times and can tweak various aspects of your run. Gary and Konnie run a great event and are clearly passionate about instructing and elevating people’s shooting.” Forrest Y. – October 2024

Best Firearms training ever! Learned so much. Interesting, lots to learn, tons of information and then target practice. I appreciate the safety training. I feel so much for more confident in handling guns. I can’t wait purchase one. 09/26/2020

Gary & Konnie & jack provided excellent preparation, training and understanding and confidents on using a handgun in many different scenarios. Gary is a great instructor. I very glad to have been training with L & L Training. James C Jun3 9, 2022

Awesome class… Top notch training… Friendly and professional .. Alfred I. July 2, 2022

Very thorough and professional. Karl Y. 5-20-2023

Konnie and her son Jack are great! I am an absolute beginner when it comes to guns and they made me feel comfortable and at ease during the entire course. The value for money is very good and the knowledge gained invaluable. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who would like to learn more about basic pistol training from experienced and professional teachers.

“Gary and Konnie are awesome!! Best trainers and good people. Highly recommend them to help improve your skills as well as your confidence. 5 STARS AND MORE!”Anthony E. – January 2025

I did the CCW certification class. I thought it was very well done. Effective and efficient. Gary’s communication and responsiveness before the class was superb

Very friendly knowledgeable people. Had a blast! Thank you all – Julia B. 8-9-2022

Great job L&L team!! I learned a lot, it’s been many years since I was an active duty Marine and had training this great!! They did a great job with instruction, safety and were very professional. I would highly recommend L&L for CCW training and any other firearms training courses. I will definitely reach out to them for ongoing training and will now try to get my Wife and Daughter to join a basic shooter class. January 31, 2021

Great training. I have many years of firearm experience and I Still learned something new. Specifically, the malfunction drills.  Well worth it. Gilbert F. 10.12.22

Highly recommend you take a class with these folks. Very professional, informative, and helpful. The instructors are patient, and very knowledgeable. You will come out of class with the necessary tools to become a safe & accurate shooter. If you own a gun, plan on owning a gun, or would simply like to learn…I encourage you to sign up with L & L. Raul P. July 13, 2021

I had my first class with Konnie and I am going back for more! She is so knowledgeable, kind and patient, which is refreshing! Can’t wait to learn more and hone my skills at L & L.

I took the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course in June 2020, and it was exactly as advertised. Classroom setting until breaking for lunch, and then the rest of the day at the Rainbow range for hands on work. You buy your own lunch.

The class setting was clean, well set up and included hands-on work with firearms. The hands on portion included seated and standing exercises with unloaded firearms and a laser target. The focus there is on breathing, aiming and trigger control. Getting hands on in a calm environment is very helpful, especially with folks who are visibly nervous touching a firearm. Gary, his wife Konnie and Jack had three stations, so the nine students each got valuable time and direction.

After lunch, the set up at Rainbow was private because they used an instructor range. No other shooters wear nearby, so it was not as intimidating. Three shooter tables were set up, and three instructors worked with one student at a time on 22 pistol target shooting while the other folks sat well behind the line. I can’t emphasize how much help that one on one assistance was. Some of the shooters were visibly nervous, but the instructors took them through baby steps if needed. The focus was on aiming and trigger control. Lots of repetition with the goal of building confidence and muscle memory while safely handling the pistol.

The instructors met students precisely where they needed to be met, and so more comfortable or naturally adept students were able to go further. The session wrapped up with the opportunity to shoot 45, full and compact 9MM and some other odds and ends.

This is a great class, in a great setting taught by seasoned instructors. It was well worth the investment. 06/10/2020

Konnie and the event were outstanding. Great experience with great coaches  – Robert A. 7-31-2022

I signed up for the NRA Basic Pistol Class and was thoroughly impressed with the the course. I felt that the classroom and range portions were perfectly matched with regards to length, learning the fundamentals & above all, safety. The instructors, Gary and Konnie, are extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the course yet they put out the information in a way that makes complete sense to students that have little to no background in firearms. L&L Firearms will be my #1 recommendation for all friends and family going forward.

Also, I highly recommend adding the extra pistols to test out following the NRA portion. This really helped me decide exactly which pistol(s) I preferred. May 7, 2021

I have recently completed both the CCW Prep and then a month later the CCW initial. As an intermediate shooter that only started as a beginning a few months ago in May of 2020, I am grateful for the patience, dedication and attention to extreme detail that Gary, Konnie and Jack were able to teach to their students. These classes not only served the point to move forward with my CCW requirements, but more importantly have made me a more safe, aware, proficient and confident shooter. Because of these classes and the community of people I have met I have actually started to take up interest in the sport of shooting, this says a lot to someone who just 6 months ago had never fired a handgun. Thanks to Gary and Konnie for everything, I am very appreciative I chose to train with L&L Firearms.

I took this class and qualification today. Gary and Konnie are very knowledgeable and took the time to instruct and insure that everyone in the class understood and performed the tasks correctly and safely. I will without hesitation refer my friends and family to them. Thank you both for all you do.

“I highly recommend L&L Firearms Training to anyone who wants to become more proficient with shooting. Gary and Konnie are patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Safety is always emphasized, and they challenge the participants to become better. I have taken the Initial CCW course, the Renewal CCW course, as well as private training sessions and several other courses with Gary and Konnie. I will continue to train with these outstanding professionals!” Kathy P. – September 2024

I just completed my CCW course with Gary and Konnie. I highly recommend L&L Firearms Training. They were thorough, making sure all of the information was covered. Gary and Konnie emphasized safety and proper technique, which are crucial to gun handling and ownership. They were encouraging and did not “talk down” to us at any point. I qualified with my Glock 19, and was very impressed with how the class was organized and run. Whether you are just starting out with firearms, or are a more advanced shooter, Gary and Konnie will take good care of you! 09/29/2020

Absolutely great team, Gary, Connie and team were great. Tha class and course training is a must for anyone… Learnt a lot…will take more classes from them. Ndubisi N. July 12, 2021

Konnie was a terrific teacher. A keen focus on safety, always watchful. Her training style is confident but very approachable. I took a two hour private lesson to “get to know” my new firearms, thoroughly enjoyed and will be signing up for more classes soon!

“Great class. Extreme wealth of knowledge in all aspects of firearm safety and training. Highly recommended!” Paul R. – June 2024

I was very happy to have my training at L& L Firearms to get my permit to carry a firearm. My trainer, Konnie was very knowledgeable and good at enforcing the points that you needed to know to be safe and how to properly handle each handgun. She was an excellent trainer. She suggested the perfect handguns for me to try and gave me a very good over all understanding of semi automatics and pistols.I really enjoyed the training and left with a better appreciation of handguns and living safely with handguns. I highly encourage women and men to train with Connie. 01/2021

I used L&L to do my CCW renewal training and range qualification.  Gary and Konnie were great.  I learned a lot from them even after being a lifetime shooter.  Thank you guys for everything.  Highly recommended!

Gary and Konnie… Very knowledgeable and approachable.  Lex B. 3-1-2023

Wow! Gary and his wife Konnie are amazing people! They are nice, sincere, patient, and very helpful. They are both WONDERFUL instructors, and we are so happy to have found them! Gary even spent about an hour with me on the phone before I booked the class since I had so many questions! They have much passion and knowledge! We tired lessons about 5 yrs ago (from another instructor) but it was not as detailed as Gary’s Basic NRA pistol class. We learned WAY more this time around, and now are much more comfortable around guns, and may just be ready to buy one now! Thanks again Gary and Konnie! My husband is so happy he passed all the rounds and made rank 4 since most people cannot do it right away (less than 1% you said!) We both had so much fun and learned a lot!! Oh and thank you so much for all the photos you both took, they are such nice memories our of time with you both! 🙂

They had a great time. Their confidence grew during the day thanks to the great instruction they received.
I highly recommend this class.

Gary was a great teacher! I am signing up for another class today.

Very knowledgeable and qualified to teach the fundamentals of handling firearms. For a first time firearm owner, she has gained my respect to those who own guns in a responsible way. Victor V. May 19, 2022

Gary is awesome! I wouldn’t know a thing about guns if it weren’t for Gary. Now I’m hooked!

Good class information as well as gun safety instruction (gun malfunctions) – Michael R. 10-3-23

Great group to train with !!!!! They know how to make you feel comfortable and really help you along. Looking forward to taking more classes with them.

Gary and his team are great at what they do. A very informative class. I HIGHLY recommend their services… – Kevin K. 5-6-2023

THE BEST EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!

Went into the basic pistol class with absolute no knowledge about firearms, I never even seen one so close in my life, let alone shoot one.
The instructor Konnie was so exceptional in the teaching and structure of her class that I actually had the confidence and excitement when heading over to the range portion of the class.
At the range, Konnie and her son, Jack, were so encouraging and completely engaged with all the students including myself. They helped tweak the little things that were throwing off my accuracy when it came to shooting and they were non-stop completely supportive in everything I did.

I’m so thankful that I came to L&L Firearms Training to learn from this amazing family! I will definitely be returning to improve and grow my skills in the art of marksmanship.

Thank you Konnie and Jack for providing me with the knowledge to safely exercise my 2nd Amendment rights and finding a lifelong hobby that I absolutely am in love with now!

Very informative and educational but best of all very fun!

Instructors Gary and Connie were through with a sense of humor. I would highly recommend their course(s). William L.

Great group to train with !!!!! They know how to make you feel comfortable and really help you along. Looking forward to taking more classes with them. March 27, 2021

“L&L Firearms Training is unparalleled when it comes to excellence in firearms instruction. Having completed both their initial course and CCW renewal, I can attest to their unwavering commitment to safety, efficiency, and enjoyment. Connie and Gary lead with expertise, making every session not just informative but also engaging and enjoyable. Their attention to detail ensures that participants feel confident and empowered. Without hesitation, I recommend L&L Firearms Training to anyone seeking top-notch firearms instruction at any level. Huge thanks to Connie and Gary for their dedication to excellence.” Alex G. – July 2024

I took the NRA Basic’s course and felt that it was very well organized and executed. Konnie and her son were awesome, it was fun, safe, informative, and a great value. I’d highly encourage any new gunner owner to take this course and L&L did an awesome job!

Both my son and I have taken classes with Gary and he is excellent. Most people will not admit that learning about firearms can be somewhat intimidating but Gary makes everyone feel comfortable. We are looking forward to our continued training and can’t wait for our next class. Thanks Gary!

Gary was very informative.. took his time and educated us on the laws and regulations, went over correct fire arm handling, issues that come up and how to resolve.. over all great training highly recommended! Victor M. June 7, 2022

Great day of training at the range. If anyone has been thinking about firearms training get in touch with Gary at L&L. He is the best you won’t be sorry. Now when’s our next class? See you soon and thanks Gary

Absolutely excellent course. It was very informative and interesting. I finally got the sites down; so I’m happy about that. Looking forward to some more pistol shooting. Thank you so much Gary! You did excellent!!!!!

“Gary and Konnie run a great class. They are patient and informative, I would not hesitate to take another class with them.” Joe – January 2025

Professional. Knowledgeable. Patient. Thorough. I’ve taken 3 classes with Gary, Konnie and Jack and I’m just getting started. I am a first time gun owner and by the time I was done with my first class, basic pistol training, I developed an incredible level of confidence about using my gun. And with every class I complete, I leave with more confidence in using my firearm, while acquiring the right mindset. If you are serious about learning how to operate your firearm and to be brought up-to-speed on current gun laws, L&L Firearms Training is where you want to go.

Amazing firearms education . I left their course with so much knowledge and training. Everything was organized and professional. Instructors were patient and attentive. I finished their course today  feeling confident and comfortable with firearms. I look forward to taking more of their courses. I highly recommend them.-01/26/2020

I’ve had a little experience with long guns but was interested in learning more about pistol shooting. My son researched for a good NRA instructer not too far from our home and as a Christmas present gave me lessons @ L & L. The day began in the classroom with Gary instructing me on the different types of hand guns, safety, proper care and cleaning, also types of ammo and their uses. It was a lot to take in but Gary was sensitive to this and his repetition helped me retain what he was teaching. We then reviewed and a test was given ( I’m not a fan of tests)…. I’m pleased to say that I passed with a very good grade. After the lunch break we traveled a few miles to the range where Gary explained the rules & regulations of the range and continued with instructions. Now it was time for active shooting at targets with the different caliber of guns and ammo. Since I had been a trap shooter I had the habit of putting my finger on the trigger guard to rest before pulling the trigger and Gary was very patient but continued to help retain the new, safe position for my fingers on the pistol which are altogether different (old habits are hard to break :)…I gave Gary a 5 star review due to his patience, teaching ability, safety awareness and extensive knowledge of how to teach this course so that I would retain what I learned. I will be counting on Gary in the future for more testing for certification and hopefully competition help. Plus it was a fun day…thank you Gary.

Gary & Konnie are excellent instructors. They focus heavily on safety and fundamentals, but always with an eye toward the whatever goal you are trying to reach. Very easy to learn from, not intimidating at all. I highly recommend them! Glynna H. November 8, 2021

I signed up for the basic pistol class and the level of knowledge I received from Konnie & Jack was outstanding! Everyone was very friendly and it was a super comfortable setting. This is by far THE best spot to get any firearm training you may need. I’ll never forget it!

I was very apprehensive about taking the class but the instructors Gary and Konnie explained and taught us in such a way that I felt comfortable and safe with their help. Thank guys so much and I will definitely recommend your course to my friends. May 3, 2021

Amazing experience! Completed the 8 hour woman’s beginning pistol class!! So patient! Most important: safe and they made sure to drill in the safety! 08/31/2020

Great class, very informative and fun. More importantly the safest training environment I’ve been in. Highly recommend  – Jordi R 3-26-2023

Oh my gosh Konnie! What a blast we all had.  So informative!  You are incredible, we all said how we felt that you really took time with each of us and truly wanted us to shoot well.  I am hoping to join the class on the 30th.  I’m gonna see if the girls want to as well. Thank you so much again.  Can’t wait to shoot with ya again!! Sherri W. July 2, 2022

The quality and professionalism from Gary and Konnie is amazing. The training is clear and concise and I left feeling more confident. I highly recommend anyone who wants to get back to the basics and more or needs to start fresh, train with L&L. They are patient, encouraging and full of knowledge. I look forward to seeing them again.

The instructors are very knowledgeable and offer assistance every step of the way. I felt very confident in my gun safety and shooting skills after I completed training. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! – James C. 7-23-23

Super informative CCW renewal class. Gary and Konnie are amazing teachers and very encouraging. Going into these classes can be intimidating, but I felt more confident with my abilities and knowledge than I ever have after taking this class. I also learned a lot during the drills, even if you shoot often, there’s always room for improvement and to fix bad habits. I’m looking forward to more training with them. Thanks again to the L&L team for a great day! Sara C. 6.28.22

Gary and Connie (and their other guy) were great. They were professional, nice and kept everything very safe. I will be returning for another class soon. I highly recommend these guys for any firearms training. Thanks Gary/Connie.  Pat S. November 16, 2021
Thanks Gary/Connie

I recently took a basic pistol shooting course with Konnie, and learned so much. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to purchase a pistol. Thank you

This was one of the most comprehensive & professional courses for any gun enthusiast! Konni, Gary, & Jack were very knowledgeable, helpful, & patient as we all got familiar with gun safety & safe firing practices~I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to better understand how to use a gun safely & honor our 2nd amendment right!

Jen & Sid

I had my CCW renewal course today. L&L is a great company to get your CCW or Renewal. Gary, Connie and their other instructor were all very good. They are very professional and had a lot of good instructions and picked up new techniques that I had not received from my previous CCW class. They are very clear with their instructions and kept the class safe and moving along. They were very helpful with the less experienced shooters as well which made the rest of us feel safer. I highly recommend L&L for CCW or renewal.
Just a tip for newbies. Please spend time with your weapon and get VERY familiar with it and have some range time before coming to the CCW class. Otherwise this uses up quite a bit of time from the instructors and ties up
and slows down the class.
The instructors and well as your fellow shooters will greatly appreciate it and will give them peace of mind that you are competent with your gun. May 9, 2021

This is my second time taking my CCW renewal class with this fantastic organization. Gary, Connie, and Jack were superb. Patient, a wealth of knowledge, accommodating and friendly…

L&L Firearms would always be my first choice for firearms training. Thanks guys!

(Until you’ve trained with Jack, you don’t know Jack) – Tarik 3.4.25

I recently took a basic pistol shooting course with Konnie, and learned so much. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to purchase a pistol. Thank you -04/18/2020

I took their Initial CCW Course and it was as expected. I qualified with two of my pistols and the experience was great. Gary and Konnie took the time to go through the material and answer all the questions asked during the course. They did not rush us at all during the process and even stayed behind to ask a few general questions and they took the time to answer them. You need 100 rounds for the handgun you will practice and qualify with and for the additional handguns you want to qualify with you need the ammo needed only to qualify only (ammo is hard to come by now a days).

Very knowledgeable professional people highly recommend this company. – Mark K. 10-3-23

Connie is a great instructor! After taking the basic pistol course, I feel more confident and comfortable handling a firearm. The classes were clear to understand and prices were very reasonable. I plan to take more courses at L&L in the future. I highly recommend. 05/14/2021

I am a returning student of Gary and Konnie.  I took the Ladies Basic Pistol Class and then the CCW class.  I was impressed with the the presentation of the information, the organization of the class and how both Gary and Connie are knowledgeable and make you feel ease.   The CCW course was done in a hybrid model due to Covid restrictions, but I didn’t feel cheated. Gary runs a tight ship at the range and provides good supportive feedback. I would highly recommend any of their classes.
Kim Oliver 08/09/2020

Class was revealing and Informative. Well drafted and delivered. Bravo Zulu! – Carlos 03-01-2023

Great class and very informative. If your a beginning shooter or looking to get a firearm, I highly recommend you take a class with L&L firearms training. You’ll learn a great deal about handling a firearm. The instructors are very knowledgeable and make it a great experience.

Very nice shooting, Kody! Thanks for the 5 star rating! Good to see you were pleased with our CCW course content. Kody M. Jun 21, 2022

Best Firearms training ever! Learned so much. Interesting, lots to learn, tons of information and then target practice. I appreciate the safety training. I feel so much for more confident in handling guns. I can’t wait purchase one.

Extremally informative. Instructors understand and are well trained in communicating key information regarding all aspects of weapon training and safety. Very helpful and patient in the gun handling aspect of the class. – Norfleet H. 2-20-2023

Gary was knowledgable and patient when teaching me how to handle guns properly and safely. I have taken two courses with him and can’t wait to take more! I have since purchased a Mossberg 500 and a Sig P226 and my husband and I have become members of the NRA and will be hopefully joining a local gun club soon. I highly recommend anyone wanting to know about guns, their safety and how to properly shoot them to take Gary’s classes; you will walk away…addicted to wanting to shoot more… especially the clay pigeons!

Awesome place, Gary is a great guy that knows his stuff and is eager to teach you. Customer service was top notch. I stumbled upon this company because I needed a class that was NRA certified for my CCW I am 100% happy that I found this company and that I had the opportunity to meet Gary.

Excellent class–Instructors were knowledgeable and presented all information necessary for the classroom portion. They also reviewed gun safety during the qualification portion of the class. Highly recommend L & L Firearms Training – Barbara 03-01-2023

Konnie is a very knowledgeable supportive, professional and patience instructor.  I had a great time and learned a lot from her. I will definitely take more classes with Konnie at L&L Firearms. 09/26/2020

After taking the class with Gary and Konnie, it was better than I could have ever thought. While I felt nervous in the beginning, Gary and Konnie were very helpful with what to expect, answered questions, and kept safety as a number one priority. Any minor infractions/improper techniques were corrected quickly and there were plenty of opportunities to practice. I look forward to taking classes with them in the future. A+++!!!

“5-STAR” training from L&L Firearm training. Gary, Konnie and Jack instructed an initial CCW Training course that was well worth it’s cost and time. We’ll orchestrated, patient, professional, and proficient in material and hands on firearm safety and live fire instructions. I’ll be sure to become a member, in addition to participating in upcoming and future Firearm training classes. Luis V. July 13, 2021
