I just took your PDS course for Florida and Virginia and Utah, and I must say that you not only made it enjoyable but informative. I would wholeheartedly recommend that anyone wishing to obtain a non resident CCW take Dr. Eimer's course. Nice person, great course and of course a great support staff! Thank you again!

I received my Don Hume holster yesterday and went to the range today to work with it and I have to say I am extremely happy with it. The quality is outstanding and the performance is the best I have ever used. Thank you for such a fine product.

I attended class on June 9th and really appreciated how quickly it was handled. I got both Florida and Virginia paperwork. Virginia was back in three weeks and Florida in six. Also like the new links to your web site. Great job, thanks. Will tell my friends!!!!!

I wanted to thank you again for the great training; I really enjoyed your class. I just received both my Florida and Virginia carry permits! I hope you and your family had a great holiday and have a very Happy New Year.

Sincerely,
Ryan K.


You probably don't remember me but I took your private Florida concealed weapons permit course about 2.5 years ago. I just wanted to say that I still remember the class and that now I'm an NRA certified pistol instructor giving concealed weapon classes, range safety officer, reloading instructor and the chief instructor for the Ocala Sportsman Association. I just wanted to once again say thank you for a great class.

A few hours after I sent you that email on Friday, April 24th, I received my holster and I cannot tell enough people how happy I am with my purchase. I have been giving your web address to several people. Thank you. And once more I am very happy with my purchase, it is an excellent holster.
