"Hi Johnny, I just wanted to thank you for a GREAT class this past weekend. It was not only educational; it was entertaining and fun. One of the things that I appreciated about the class is that about 80%of the class is dedicated to NOT having to use your firearm at all. Several of the techniques you taught us in class do not even involve a firearm at all. That is one of the main reasons I intend to enroll my wife and children in one of your upcoming classes. Your upbeat, high-spirited approach to teaching made a 10 hour day seem much shorter. Once again, thank you very much for a very fun and educational day." Ben

Just wanted to thank you for making the CHL Class a great time, better than any other ones I attended through the years. You have given me a new sense of appreciation for my pistols other than what they are intended for. SSG Scott P.

I'm writing to thank you for your great class. There is a whole lot of information that, by law, needs to be covered. It could have been painful and dull, but you made it a very worthwhile experience, always interesting, often fascinating and sometimes funny. Now that is no mean feat. It is a tribute to your knowledge and teaching skills. One part was unexpected and may, in the long run be the most valuable. You spent a lot of time on ways to avoid ever having to use a gun. For that I am particularly grateful. I will be certain to recommend you to anyone wanting to get a CHL. John H. Shale

Oh, I had a lot of fun. I was teasing Lyndsay that we should sneak into next weeks class for Belton ISD just to go target practice. My husband said that wouldn't be nice haha. Thank you again. I enjoyed the class. My sister and I would take classes for fun and to learn more about safety. I pray I never have to use what I have learned but thankful to be prepared. Laural Kelly

Thanks for a great class and for making it even more accessible for educators. Luke and the other guys at the range were helpful and patient. Y'all made the day informative and enjoyable, while stressing the serious responsibility that comes with having a CHL. Of course, Wes made us feel right at home at his restaurant with his hospitality and good cooking. Well done! Thanks, Daniel

Hello Johnny, we just wanted to thank you again for the great time we had yesterday with your class. It was awesome. At first I was so scared, because I have never shot a gun before, but y'all took that fear away and made me feel comfortable with it. Thanks again we had a great time. Stefanie and David

I was in your CHL class at the Morgan's Point Resort Police/Fire station. I was sitting on the back row next to the lovely Lady and her Husband. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your Son-in-Law for a very informative and enjoyable class. I also wanted to let you know that I have received my CHL License and I am very proud to now be a CHL holder (see screenshot below). I did pretty much everything on-line. It was a fairly simple and straight-forward process. I highly recommend this on-line registration method to all your future class members. Again thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise; And for making a straight ten hour class such a fun and knowledgeable experience. From a very satisfied Customer and new CHL holder, Ron

Just wanted to tell you how great your class was. You did a great job at teaching us, keeping us entertained, but still focused. You really care about your profession and the people that you work with, and I for one appreciate that. I have already recommended to people interested in CHL to your web site, one from Dallas that has been trying to get into a class for some time now. Thanks Robert
MARY CORTEZ
Your help, patience, and kindness are greatly appreciated. It was exactly what I needed because I had no idea what I had gotten myself into! Your class was very informative and enhanced by your common-sense applications. I share with others that the goal is to stop and not to kill. Your presentation made an impact and I am always recommending you to people I know. I have even recommended you to people I come across at the gun counter at Academy or at Wal Mart buying bullets. If you ever wonder how effective you are at preparing your students for the responsibility of carrying a handgun, take it from this little old school marm----you do a great job! Sincerely, Mary P.S. ...and I thought you were going to be a real hard-ass when I first saw you!
JUSTIN LEHMAN
Hey just wanted to say thanks for all the help and information you've given me. I'm going to be honest and say when I thought of taking the class it would be boring you'd be an a** hole and just drill all the info you could, but I got the exact opposite you kept the class fun and entertaining and still put out the information in a timely manner you are a great instructor and an overall good guy I will be getting my hunters education from you when the time comes and sending anyone and everyone that is interested in what you do to you I know you said you had a place on your site where I could write this but I didn't see it there once again thanks for all the help and info take care.

I was in your CHL class in Temple. I received my CHL within a month after submitting the documents. Thanks for the professional instruction and personal attention you provided to us students. If you remember the afternoon on the range was a miserable rainy day. As a combat veteran I had fired in the rain, but the arthritis took over my hands and back causing me to have problems loading my mags. Thanks to you for helping out the old guy. I saw you on the TV news. Great marketing for you. I bought a Big Iron T-Shirt. Again, thanks for a training class that opened the eyes of many. I carry, and I know what to do! Best Regards, Jerry Temple

I must admit I had my reservations on the required 10 hours of a CHL class. I thought, what would we talk about for so long? After all the classes I have attended in weapon use, I can say that yours was certainly one of the very best. Actually, the discussions and range made the time fly. The information was useful and right on for all attending! I would not hesitate to recommend Big Iron to anyone for CHL training. With the humor mixed into a most serious topic as handguns, you made the class interesting and beneficial to beginners, as well as those who have been around weapons for their adult lives. Congratulations on a great CHL training class. It was worth the drive from Ft. Worth to attend! Very best regards, Jack Ft Worth
DEREK DAY
Your defensive handgun training course was one of the best investments I've ever made. Your training has taught me to be more comfortable knowing I will know what to do when the turds attack. The techniques I learned will stay with me forever and possibly save mine or my families life. The scenarios used during the course were fun yet applicable to common turd attacks. Thank you for arming my mind and my piece. Mags rule clips drool! Derek Day

Ten hours could have been an eternity on a Sunday but Johnny Price keeps everything moving. I could tell he puts his heart and soul into making this class not just informative but entertaining. Johnny is extremely professional, helpful and patient. He paid special attention to making sure each of us were comfortable with our weapons at the range and helped us make adjustments as needed. Now my wife and I both have our CHL. We'd highly recommend this class to any couple. Now we're off to the range for more practice. Thanks again for the great day. Thanks again, David Monroe Waco
RONALD COKER
Took your class on January 23rd. Thoroughly enjoyed the day by the way. Received my CHL license today! Thanks again for your help. I spoke to Dr. Loden (who is my doctor) and we visited for 30 minutes about the class and guns in general. By the way, he did say his wife is a better shot. Again, thank you for the class and thanks for allowing me to exercise my 2nd Amendment right to bear arms for mine and my family's protection. Ronald Coker

BOB MERRILL
I live in Oklahoma and attended your class in Temple with my son-in-law last Saturday. I found your presentation to be very professional, entertaining, and informative. The required 10 hours I dreaded was very pleasant and surprisingly enjoyable. I was delighted to learn what Texas has done to allow citizens to protect themselves. I would recommend your training to anyone interested in learning how to protect himself and his family. I was delighted to learn I could be licensed to "carry" as an out-of-state resident, and that there are 33 states that recognize the Texas "Concealed Carry" license as of this date. Thank you for a good day in Texas. Bob Merrill Mustang, Oklahoma
PETE PADILLA
Dec. 21, 2013 Johnny, I just wanted to thank you for your time and instruction for today's course. You cleared up a lot of grey areas and I feel better about owning a firearm and now know what it takes to stay within the law as a CHL License holder. This is my second class but I can safely say that this class was more enjoyable at the same time educational. Keep up the Good Job! Thanks Pete
GREG WILLIAMS
We felt comfortable asking questions and really enjoyed the range time. I'm telling all my friends to get their CHL from Big Iron! Greg, Waco TX
