Hey all, I am new here but let me tell you a little about me. I was just a small kid when I fist went to a range with my old man, just small caliber rim fire stuff. Started with them I still have one old Marlin (I think that what it is CRS setting in as I get older: CRS for the older folk who have forgotten and newer folk that don't know is "Can't Remember Sh*t) rifle, well it's probable over 50 years old and my next visit to AZ and I'll bring her back and pass along the sport of shooting to my 11 YO daughter.

 

Well back to my plug, I know most of the folks here are well versed in shooting and the sport, but for the new folks who just happen to find these forums I figured I'd pass along a little information.

 

I had limited experience with hand guns, yea I did shoot in the desert and some other places but had no formal training. Well I was going for my Florida CCW and was looking for NRA certified courses to satisfy the requirements for this. I found a few places but Gun For Hire wasn't too far away and I signed up for the class.

Let me tell you first the class was great, very informative and even though I have shot a hand gun (been some time) I learned allot and was very pleased in learning a few things that will help me out getting back into this now that I don't have to go back and correct in the future. Instructors and all the staff were great as well as the other people who were there that did the CCW paperwork with me.

 

I do have to pass along a special thanks to Anthony, he made me feel like I was an old timer at the place and we had known each other for years. Damn good guy, straight up and no BS kind of guy. Plus I scheduled my first class the day of the big close to 30" snow storm in December, asked the night before if the class was still on and was answered right back in my email that come rain snow floods wind or what ever were were good to go. Well I made my way up there the next day in the snow with no problems other then having to park in a snow drift right behind Anthony and was the only person to show for the class, the other 5 or 6 got their pink pu$$y patches for not coming out and I got a 1 on 1 class with a fantastic instructor.

 

Went back being the Bullet Hole wimped out and didn't open that day a week later to complete the live fire portion of the class and CCW paperwork.

 

Nothing but quality instruction, very friendly and supper attitudes, if your wondering about a place to go and are new to firearms, or just an old timer looking for certifications for your CCW I can't say there is a better place to go for the over all experience.

 

I'll be back for a few other courses, Combo Pistol home defense and Shotgun, and hear there may be a tactical course that will be different than any other type available in NJ pending approval in the future that really would give you a real life idea of what a stressful situation would be in defending yourself. Looking forward to them but will be a few months of practice at a range before I feel up to it for that.

 

Again, Anthony and the staff are first class and I would recommend Gun for Hire to anyone who asks.

Hello Harry,

 

Thank you for your kind words.

 

You are now part of the gun For Hire Family.

 

Anthony

I agree Anthony is the man. I've taken a few classes with GFH, even sent my girlfriend there for their Pepper Spray and SD course (which she tried to use on me). Top notch instruction, no BS and always SAFETY FIRST.

 

So when is that damn Carbine course going to be???? I'm dyin over here!!
