I recently took a CPL at home defense class, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Chuck was an exceptional, instructor, knowledgeable, professional, and engaging. He made complex topics like firearm and safety, legal aspects, home defense tactics, easy to understand and applicable to real world situations. Chuck’s teaching style was perfect! He was thorough and approachable. He created a comfortable environment, where everyone felt confident, asking questions and learning. I walked away from the class feeling more empowered and knowledgeable about personal safety. I highly recommend Chuck’s class. I’ll definitely tell others. The staff at the gun range gun shop were so kind. I’m definitely going back. Monique
I sincerely cannot recommend Chuck Norton highly enough for not providing an excellent class, but for creating an amazingly enjoyable and engaging atmosphere. Throughout the entire class, he managed to continuously uphold the purpose of being a responsible gun owner and how to responsibly view firearms; as a tool that you should hope to not use, and only as a last resort after a multitude of de-escalation techniques have been employed. He did an exceptional job demonstrating verbal de-escalation (i.e. being very loud and bringing attention to a situation to ensure you have witnesses if an event takes place), providing examples of how us as individuals may perceive a threat and when one would defer to potentially using firearms for defense (e.g. car thief taking your property versus a carjacking with your child in the back). He did an amazing job from the first minute and to the last hour in discussing the mindset one should have when forced to engage someone while using a firearm; utilize the tool to neutralize a threat, never with the intention to kill. In fact, Chuck literally did not ever use the word kill until the last hour, where he read a slide that utilized that word. On top of his qualities as an instructor, he demonstrated through his words, actions, and anecdotes the amazing human being that he is. He is someone who not only takes the job and training seriously, but incorporates that mindset of safety, humility, and caring for the wellbeing of individuals in his everyday life. I am a non-religious person, but I still say that I am blessed to have been educated by such an amazing person, not just an amazing instructor. 11/10 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Chuck was amazing! I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in getting their CPL. I could have listen to him talk all day. I learned so much and feel confident knowing I am better equipped if I should ever need to use my gun. I appreciate the real life scenarios and ways to improve your reaction time and getting comfortable with drawing your gun from your holster, great exercises taught.
