“My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The instructor was hilarious. The information was very good and he gave us all we needed to succeed in tests. The only scrutiny I have is I wish we had some more break time. But he pushed through the material and I believe everyone of our 25 count class passed. Thank you, Chief Mallory. Excellent service. Highly recommend.”

“I had assumptions going into the class about how a 18 hour required course would go and it was opposite in the best way. The course felt like a two day/two hour course after it was completed. Matt kept us engaged, used real life situations, and for someone who has minimal knowledge on firearms, made it very easy to understand. There is so much more that could be said but 10/10 would recommend to all.”

“This class was phenomenal. I am on my feet and moving all day at work. So I went into it thinking I was going to be the guy that fell asleep and got slapped in the back of the head! I can honestly say that there was not one dull moment in this class. Matt’s delivery is awesome. The content is full of more pertinent information than you can handle and interspersed with funny comments and stories. I have already recommended this course to 3 of my friends and plan to take more training with Matt in the future. Thank you for providing this course.”

“I have taken multiple safety classes with Matt. He is a great instructor and very knowledgeable of firearm safety. His teaching style encourages participation and he uses relevant examples and case studies to reinforce the material. I highly recommend taking one of Matt’s many courses on public safety.”
~ Tim N. from Tully, NY
“I took the 18 hour NY State Concealed Carry Firearm Safety Course with Matt and he was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable and his resume is impressive. He kept the class engaged through changing his tone of voice and emphasis on certain words to avoid being monotone which is extremely important when teaching to keep attention. He went through everything we needed to know while keeping it entertaining which was awesome and is a sign of a great teacher! He used plenty of real world examples when talking about certain subjects in order to paint a picture that anyone could understand. He never made anyone feel stupid for asking a question and was very attentive when listening to students questions and didn’t interrupt them. I look forward to taking more classes of his to further my safety education and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to do the same!”

“18 hrs sounds like a long time but Matt keeps it interesting and keeps your attention. Would definitely recommend taking any of Matt’s courses.”

“Matt brings a great deal of knowledge and experience into the classroom setting. At first I was bummed that I waited so long to get my pistol permit that I would now have to take an 18hr class with a greater cost to get a concealed carry permit. However, my thoughts changed really quickly after my first day of the class. Throughout the 18hr course, Matt delivered invaluable information related to firearm safety, NYS penal law, the recent NYS changes, federal law, and much more. He used past cases (several that you may be familiar with) on use-of-force to get you into critical thinking on how you can be best prepared for a situation or even to prevent being in that situation at all. I’ve been around long guns all my life, but concealing a firearm crates a whole new responsibility. This class is something one may consider even if they already have a concealed carry with no LE or military experience. Class is fast paced, but PowerPoints are clear and concise. Matt encourages participation and periodically checks in to see if you have any questions. He injects humor into the classroom at appropriate times which makes the learning environment great. To make a long story short, consider making time in your schedule to get a refresher or to learn material that will make you a safer permit holder.”
~ Michael C. from Auburn, NY
“I learned a lot more than I expected from this course, Matt was great at explaining all aspects of concealed carry and when and how to defend yourself in the best way. Also he helped in hands on training with the guns. I would recommend this course with Matt to my friends and family.”
