I recently took an online concealed carry class, but I felt like I still wanted more hands-on/in-person training. So I signed up for the Enhanced Carry Class to have a more thorough experience. I’m glad I did. Kevin did a great job explaining things, very thorough in all aspects of the course in the classroom and at the range. I definitely recommend this class. Well worth the time and money.”

I loved the course! Kevin is a great teacher. He made me feel very stress-free while shooting. I’ve shot all over the world in the Marine Corps and he, by far, is one of the best teachers! Very calm. A lot of teachers are pushy but he isn’t! I highly recommend!

I’ve taken 3 handgun courses with Kevin at Strategic Advantage Firearms so far and have not only learned a tremendous amount, but have enjoyed every minute of it. Kevin is an exceptional instructor. He is constantly focused on safety and is very clear with his instruction but in a “real world” way that makes it easy to take in all the information he provides. He adjusts his pace based on the individual(s) he is teaching rather than trying to force some planned agenda. Kevin is the very best instructor I have ever had.

I was fortunate to find S.A.F.E. and attend the Tennessee Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit course. I received outstanding instruction in the classroom with impressive safety awareness on the firing range by Kevin McWhirk. I’ve attended other training facilities before and none matched the proessionalism and emphasis on safety as does Strategic Advantage Firearms Education.
