What Others Have Said

Years ago I was an NRA certified instructor. I wanted to get a concealed handgun permit so I had to take a CC class just like everyone else. Choices abound, but Jacob's class was exceptional. He was thorough, open for questions and comments, and also mixed it all with the right amount of humor. I learned more than I had anticipated! Thanks Jacob!
