Bill is the best instructor ever!! He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of gun safety, self-defense, and the laws of concealed carry. He kept the class engaged the entire time, and the 8 hours flew by. Bill will even provide you with some comedic relief throughout the entire course. Highly recommended Fully Loaded Defense, and I will be coming back for more future training.

I took the concealed carry course with Bill and Marcee. They are both phenomenal instructors! They are very knowledgeable, nice, and helpful. I look forward to taking future courses and training with them. Thanks again for a great class and for all your helpful input!

Bill and Marcee are the best instructors in town. I just finished their conceal carry class today. They both are very informative and willing to make you have a better sense and reason of things. I will definitely further my skills through their weapons classes, in the near future. Thanks again for everything.
