"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, was 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." Doug R 8/16

"My wife and I have had two previous classes in basic firearms and defensive shooting, in another state. This course is by far the best. Kevin is very professional, and a great RSO." -F. Hood 2/10

"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 professionalism and emphasis on safety as does Strategic Advantage Firearms Education."-W. Robertson 03/03

"Kevin and Chad were awesome! I was so nervous taking this class because I had not shot much before. They made me feel comfortable and with that I was able to pass the class! They made it a fun learning environment. Thanks guys! I look forward to learning more!"- DH- 7/20

"This past Sunday I took S.A.F.E.'s Confidence in Carrying Firearms class. Kevin is the greatest teacher. I was very nervous but he was extremely patient and I cannot believe how much I learned in 5 hours. I plan to take future classes to improve my skills. I highly recommend Kevin. He is definitely the best!" -Kathy G 6/20

"I was looking to refresh my skills and to practice and learn about my new gun. Kevin was the best!!! So patient and positive, gave me confidence that my own family did not do. I highly recommend Kevin to update your concealed carry skills or become more accurate in your stance, holding and aiming of your gun. I am moving on to the next class!!" -Marla S 4/20"

"A very well taught class. The instructors were knowledgeable not only of the laws for Tennessee but other states as well. The class was very thorough and I would highly recommend. The skills part was educational and the instructors took time which each of us to insure we new not only how to safely hold the weapon but how to fire it accurately as well. I will be recommending them to my friends in family for sure." -F White 8/20
