"I had a great experience with Paladin Tactical. Dan, Barry, and Theo were all awesome. They’re extremely knowledgeable, patient, and involved throughout the entire class. You can tell they actually care about what they’re teaching and want everyone to learn and be safe."

"The Paladin training team is excellent. They are serious, but have fun; Lean heavily on the fundamentals, and build your skills layer upon layer. Highly recommended. Protecting against threats is a skill. Don't try to wing it. Take a class from them; you won't be disappointed
-Thomas C
"Dan and Barry bring a level of training that is top notch and professional, and provides students with the type of hands-on training that makes you feel comfortable with the CCW process. And on top of all that, the Paladin pricing is better than all the other resources I researched.
