DOUG - "I want to congratulate you on the professionalism exhibited by yourself during the CCW courses (Basic & Advanced) that I have attended over the past year. As a recent "transplant" to Arizona, I knew I wanted to get this state's concealed weapon permit soon after arrival, and it has been a pleasure to find a training school with the quality of the Armed Personal Defense Institute. I can definitely state that your calm and focused demeanor is key to absorbing the valuable pistol handling skills necessary for those legally authorized to carry concealed weapons. Further, I strongly believe that every person who maintains a gun only for home security should take (at least) the Basic course, as the value of structured firearms training cannot be over stated. Your school's emphasis on safe gun handling and "Shoot/Don't Shoot" instruction is essential for the unique responsibility of lawful concealed carry. It should be a CCW holder's personal requirement to regularly improve his or her firearm skills - critically important skills that very well could save our own life, or the lives of our loved ones."   Sincerely,           
Bill from Phoenix, AZ
