Concealed Carry (CPL) Class - Livonia

There are not enough adjectives to describe this amazing woman. My cousin mentioned a woman whom she met at a free women's firearm safety event last summer (July 2024). However, she could not remember her name. After searching for months, I found Steel and Stilettos, owner Amy Lucas. Her CPL class (taken 03/16/2025) was phenomenal. She taught how to safely load and use a firearm. In addition, Amy taught the importance of storing a firearm safely. She displayed various storage boxes and units. Amy highly emphasized how not to be a victim in the street and at home. Students were able to practice with training pistols, and we were shown how to properly hold a firearm in class and at the gun range. A very important lesson I learned from Amy was to DE-ESCALATE AT ALL COST. Women are generally more compassionate and detailed humans. Amy Lucas lived up to this philosophy. In class, she showed the various accessories for carrying a concealed weapon. Also, she showed other safety devices such as, disguised sharpie pen, pepper spray, taser, and alarms. Amy Lucas' class was my third CPL class since November 2024. My first two CPL classes were with men. I learned from both prior CPL classes, but I learned so much more from Amy Lucas (NO SHADE TO MEN). Amy Lucas was very thorough. She discussed the importance of knowing the law involving CPL license holders - Michigan and outside of Michigan. Amy Lucas' numerous website listings received after passing the class was priceless. Lastly, Amy had a gentleman to explain the importance of obtaining insurance as a CPL license holder. If an award existed for the best CPL instructor, I would bestow this award on Ms. Amy Lucas. I would highly recommend Amy Lucas, owner of Steel and Stilettos firearm training for both men and women. She is an exemplary person and instructor!!!

My sister and I took Amy's CPL class and had such a great time. She was knowledgeable, patient, kind, funny, and easy to talk to. We did the Ladies Only CPL course, and she truly took that seriously — a gentleman accidentally showed up that day, and she handled it with grace rescheduling him for a different day. She makes you feel empowered, not just to learn how to properly handle a firearm, but to understand the knowledge that goes along with it. If you're second-guessing doing this for yourself, please don't. Amy is in your corner, and you'll truly learn so much from her. Keep up the great work you're doing for the firearm community, Amy! It was a joy to learn from you.

Amy Lucas exceeded every expectation I had for my Certified Firearms Instructor program course. Having trained with other organizations in the past, I can honestly say this experience was on another level. Amy is exceptionally knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about developing competent, confident instructors. What impressed me most was how attentive she was to every student. She understands that everyone learns differently and takes the time to ensure each person is engaged, understands the material, and succeeds. That kind of individualized instruction is becoming increasingly rare and speaks volumes about the quality of her program. I also want to recognize her co-instructor, Aaron Cobb. Aaron was equally outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to answer questions or provide additional insight. Together, Amy and Aaron created an engaging learning environment that balanced professionalism, real-world experience, and a genuine commitment to student success. I could go on about everything they did well, but I’ll leave it at this: if you’re considering any training with Amy and Aaron, stop thinking about it and sign up. You won’t regret it. This program exceeded my expectations, and I’ll absolutely be back for more training in the future. Thank you both for an outstanding experience!
