What’s Up Sheepdogs? Ryan here with Tampa Carry.

Trisha attended our Concealed Carry permit course in July and I can't tell you how nervous she was. Trisha wanted a carry permit due to threats she has been receiving from an ex-boyfriend. "I've never handled a gun before and really didn't want to come, but my friend is forcing me," she said to me before the class started. By the end of the class, I could tell her anxiety was gone.

Check us this great review Trisha left us on Google!

"Let me start off by saying I am petrified to even hold a gun. Recently I had a crazy ex which made me scared to death. My friend gave me moral support to go to this class. I never in a million years thought I would do something like this. Ryan was the NRA instructor who made me feel comfortable. He was funny and made the class enjoyable very informative. Ryan made it interesting by sharing his personal experiences and his "what if" situations. The videos Ryan shared helped put some of the info into perspective. At the end of the class, he took the time and give me personal attention on how to hold a gun. I can't wait to attend a private lesson with him I highly recommend this class." Trisha

On Monday Trisha and I met at a local gun range for a little private instruction. As you can imagine she was nervous. When I asked her to pick up the gun she started shaking a little. I was very surprised at what came next. Trisha was extremely accurate in her shooting. It blew my mind, and even though she didn't stop shaking. She was consistently shooting 2" groups at 10 yards with a Walther P22. I think Trisha may have been lying to me about her previous experience shooting. She claims that she has never shot a gun before. I think she is an undercover CIA agent pretending to be a new be. I guess I will never know.

Here is a video of Trisha loading, shooting and clearing a Walther P22 like a pro.

Overall I think Trish did an amazing Job and I am so proud to see more and more people want to learn how to shoot, protect themselves and be responsible gun owners. To learn more information about our private range training or to reserve a session please view our private firearm instruction page here.

That's all I have for today. So until next time keep training and stay safe...
