You’re safe until you’re not. I have always believed that in one form or another. What does that mean? People's comfort exists because of many factors.

The Multi State Carry Permit course is what you need to attend if you wish to carry concealed in as many states as possible! Get BOTH is one sitting!
Natalie Laiosa`30/04/2024I recently took the concealed carry course and I would recommend it to everyone. The course was in depth and the main instructor did a great job. He answered everyone's questions and took the time to make sure we all understood the material before moving on. He gave us plenty of breaks so we were all in a good spot throughout the day. The hands one experience was incredibly beneficial and all the instructors were patient and explained everything clearly. The VIP package is definitely worth it as they will answer any questions you have at any point during the process as well as help with your permit application. I have also taken three personal defense classes with them and every instructor did a phenomenal job. Everytime I have been to a class, I left happy and feeling like I got more than my money's worth from the experience. I would recommend this to everyone!Felix Colon30/04/2024Great place good guys definitely knowledgeable worth the money spent awesome placeEmma Kimble29/04/2024Excellent course! It is very informative and provides you with the basic fundamentals for owning and operating a pistol. The instructors were all fantastic and very knowledgeable.Caroline Laiosa29/04/2024This place is phenomenal. Just took the 18hr pistol permit course and, while long, but covered everything needed back to front and they made sure we had plenty of breaks. Instructors were all extremely knowledgeable, beyond helpful, and made the class fun while still taking it seriously. Definitely worth the price and for the extra 50$ for the VIP course they go above and beyond to help you with all of the paperwork (even answering calls outside of working hours) as well making the whole process super easy. I have also taken two of the womens equalizer courses in the last few years and I have nothing but positives to say about everyone there.Sarah Bark28/04/2024I had an excellent experience at the 18 Hour Pistol Permit course. The instructors were great and kept the class engaging and interactive. I had no prior experience handling a gun but they made me feel at ease and gave me lots of feedback. I will definitely come back to take more classes here.Scott Mackinder23/04/2024Great experience. Great instructor's. The instructor's made the course interesting. I'm so glad I chose Rochester Personal Defense. Thank you Dave and MattS White22/04/2024The instructors were excellent. I learned a lot from this training and feel confident about moving forward in the process. It was a great use of my time. I would recommend this training to others.Jill Ausfeld22/04/2024Excellent experience, Mike was an excellent teacher, very inclusive. Between the class, and the hands on (including more teachers), I feel much more comfortable moving forward and continuing with my practice after I get my permit, and a well put together class booklet to reference as well. Thank you
