"I could have gotten a training certificate in 1 hour for $40, or 2 hours for $85. Then I found Armored Alliance Group. I took the 5 hour class with Howard Gussak. I learned everything about my Glock, gun safety, fired 30 rounds on their on-site range, and how to act in the presence of law enforcement. The course was comprehensive. I paid a little more than other courses and am very happy. It is 5 STARS." - David Barrelle

"A serious class in nature was fun, packed with great info, and presented in such a way as to let us all know how much you care about what you do. You are the real deal." - Steve and Linda Shea
