CCW/CPL Class Student Testimonials

The Following Are On File In Our Office:

"Rick, Sorry that it has taken me so long to thank you. Although the class alone can't protect me or my family from danger, it has improved our ability to defend ourselves. The techniques and information that we covered in the class have taught me to be more aware and prepared period. I am more confident and comfortable when I leave home, knowing that I'm better prepared to address potentially dangerous confrontational situations. Once again thank you and I look forward to Session II (Personal Protection Outside The Home Course)."
- Mr. A. L. Odell III, Auto Industry Employee, Southfield, Oakland County, Michigan 48075

"Hello Rick. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Just to let you know, I've got my CCW license and I bought a 9mm S+W (M&P) semi-automatic. I had intentions of getting a revolver, but after seeing and shooting your semi-automatic, I changed my mind. As for your class, I found that you were not only knowledgeable but you were also enthusiastic. What really impressed me was the fact that when we went to the gun range, I was a little short on money, you were kind enough to let me use your gun. This is what convinced me to buy a 9mm. I appreciate your help and I would (and do) recommend your class to anyone wanting to get their permit. Thank you."
- Mr. C. W. Miller, Retiree, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan 48219

"Rick, from the very beginning you showed a very professional demeanor. You also did this while being a friendly guy. You extended your knowledge, experience, and information, in a fun way but when it came time to get critical info or techniques across you became very serious to get the point across effectively. I totally appreciated your class and when I am ready to advance in my training in the area of becoming a 'PROFESSIONAL' in the use of a sidearm I will be in touch. I am sorry it took so long to get back to you but I pray that 'better late than never' applies. Sincerely,"
- Mr. M. Kleckler, Ferndale, Oakland County, Michigan 48220

Miscellaneous Michigan CCW/CPL Questions

What Is The Difference Between A CCW And A CPL?
A CCW - Carrying A Concealed Weapon - is a crime in which a person unlawfully possesses a hidden weapon on or about his person. In contrast, a CPL - Concealed Pistol License - is a document granted by the state of Michigan which authorizes the named licensee to possess a concealed pistol on or about his person. In many contexts, many people use the two terms - CCW and CPL - interchangeably.
What Gun Should I Carry For Personal Protection?
There are many things to consider when evaluable which gun is best for you and your needs. The most important consideration - the caliber - should be at least a 9mm. Keep in mind though, that you should get the largest caliber that you can reliably shoot. Thus, the caliber will be between a .45 on the high side and a 9mm on the lower side of the caliber spectrum. The next thing that you will need to do is to find a gun, in the caliber that you can handle, that perfectly fits your hand. There are several other important considerations on gun selection criteria that will be covered in depth during the training class.
What Handguns Do You Recommend For New Shooters?
I like the following handguns, in no particular order, for new shooters:
- Smith & Wesson M&P ( 9mm )
- Glock Model 19 ( 9mm )
- Springfield XD ( 9mm )
- H&K P90 ( 9mm )
Note: I am not receiving any compensation for making the aforementioned choices.

Are JHPs Illegal In Michigan?
No. Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHPs) ammunition cartridges are legal. JHPs should be loaded in your handgun when it is being carried for personal Protections. JHPs solve the "over-penetration" issue and as result addresses the legal matter known as "Transfer Of Intent." Law enforcement officers at all levels of government carry JHPs in their duty firearm: local, county, state, and federal. You should carry them too.
