Thanks for the best weapons training class I have ever attended. Your presentation,
enthusiasm and expertise kept us all on the edge of our seats. The information you
shared is critical to anyone who carries a weapon. I have over 10 years of military
experience and have attended several other civilian courses, but I learned more useful
information in those hours at Maricopa Tactical than any other training or class.
Preston M.

Having had over 700 hours of tactical training from some of the top shooting schools in
the United States, I thought I couldn't learn anything that I didn't already know. I
was wrong. The tactical information you offered translated into "street smarts" that were
not touched on by the other training facilities. As a result of your course, I believe
that I am better prepared to handle situations that we all may face in life, although
we hope we never have to.
Bob H.
CEO
Prior to entering the CCW class, I told you that I was 68, retired, 3rd Dan Tae Kwon Do
and had taken 132 hours of tactical training at Gunsite. I was prepared to be totally
under whelmed. What a pleasant, eye opening surprise! An instructor that could
walk-the-talk, that could present the subject matter from experience, that brought an
enthusiasm and energy that held everyone's attention 100% of the time. Many thanks for
your valued assistance.
George D.
Retired CEO
Recently myself and three fellow security officers completed a CCW class. At the end of
the 16 hours we all concluded that it was the most informative and fun class we had ever
taken in our lives.
Sgt. Dan W.
Burns International Security
I shot on a competitive level for about eight years winning both state and regional titles.
I just wanted you to know that I learned more about the mechanics of weapons, threat
avoidance techniques, personal protection and firearm safety in 16 hours with you than
in all my other past experiences.
Paul T.
Corporate Manager
I have attended several civilian and military weapons training courses over a period of
30+ years of carrying a handgun and found the training by Maricopa Tactical to be as
good as the best and better than the rest of the classes I have personally attended.

I found this to be the most informative and "real world" class that I have ever been in.
I have highly recommended it to several people.
Dan J.

Thanks for yesterday! Your commitment, enthusiasm and dedication to what you do is phenomenal.

My wife, daughter and I enjoyed your CCW course. You made the course safe, interesting
and fun. Although my eighteen year old daughter can not obtain the CCW license, the
knowledge she gained from your course provided her a level of confidence that will help
her not to be a victim. Because of the knowledge, skill and professionalism demonstrated
during Maricopa Tactical training, my wife and I look forward to further courses with you.
Steve P.
Executive
I recently completed your CCW class and wanted to thank you for an outstanding job.
I especially appreciated the "extras" - the real life tactics and drills - that emphasize
the seriousness of the responsibility one assumes when carrying a concealed weapon.

The best providers always deliver more than promised and expected and this was certainly
the case with you. This was a "Real World" experience, not a sterile classroom experience.
Frank H.
Technical Advisor
Your introduction of tactics, alternative levels of force etc. was excellent. I found that
your course was very, very different from many others out there. I want to thank you for
taking the time to put together such an excellent program and let you know that the time
you put into those moving target acquisition drills was worth it.
Brandon J.
Technician
Thank you for an exceptionally informative and riveting class. You were professional and your
real- life scenarios were engaging and eye-opening.
Marianne L.
Consultant
I thought I would thank you for giving a stellar CCW course. I have been talking non-stop
about how professional, realistic and how much fun the course was. You really give the best
training in such a short amount of time that I could have ever imagined, and then some.
In that short time, we covered a lot of what an 8 month academy could provide in basic
stress-fire practicals, in 16 hours.

Outstanding, that is the best thing to be said about my CCW Introductory course! The course was informative and enjoyable. I look forward to my next experience with MARICOPA TACTICAL. The benefit of knowledge will, eventually, cure us all.
Jeff B.
CEO
That class was dynamite - absolutely the most dynamic and powerful presentation I have ever attended!
Stan H.
Engineer
The course was simply fantastic! I learned a lot that I hadn’t known before, and began to see some things I did know in a new light. Your course was more than just worthwhile, and I heartily recommend it to any shooter, no matter how experienced.
Mike K.
Computer Engineer
After completing your class, I for the first time, started to feel a slight confidence in myself. This is something I had not had in over two years due to the circumstance I was encountering with my stalker; the fear intimidation, the frustration with law enforcement, the threats and attempts on my life. You made me start believing in myself and you gave me the confidence that I needed to take back control of my life. In all honesty, the best advice I was ever given came from a Chandler police officer. His advice to me – contact MARICOPA TACTICAL immediately.
Judie D.
Program Administrator
I wanted to tell you that I learned more tactical moves and self-defense in your course than I learned in the 10 years with the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, circa 1966 to 1976. Please keep up the good work.
Eugene G.
Former Lt. @ M.C.S.O.
I just wanted to drop a line and thank Mark and the crew for one of the best experiences of my life. It cleared up so many misconceptions that we had about firearms, and also made us aware of the threat that we can be presented with at any time. More than anything, it gave my wife and I a small glimpse of what we are capable of if we put our mind to the task.

I recently found myself in a situation where a drunk teen armed with a knife tried to kill a Circle K clerk. Watching the teen start to hunt down the clerk, I realized I had only a few seconds to react. If I had never taken your class I still would have intervened, but the information I learned from your course put me in a higher state of mind where I was able to maintain a calm head and quickly and without further incident, take control. Needless to say, I saved the clerk from definite injury and possibly death. I did it in a professional manner, thanks to not just your course, but the way you taught it.

I simply wanted to drop you a note to say "Thank You" for the excellent training program put together by you and your staff. This was a very intense, and fun, weekend. In the course of my business I have attended numerous training seminars. None of them have ever riveted my attention as much as your C.C.W. Course.
Pete K.
President, Engineering Co.
My Girlfriend and I found your C.C.W. Training to be an excellent course and we are going to recommend friends and associates take it. We were impressed with your level of professionalism and your passion. I have been involved with firearms for over twenty-five years and I found the training course helped me refocus on the basics of handgun safety and control.
Gerald B.
President & CEO
First I’d like to praise you on a very well taught and explained course. Your knowledge and expertise is quite impressive. The course was simple and to the point. Second, your people handling skills are such that no one is either put down; embarrassed; or intimidated to ask any questions. Congratulations on a great experience!
Carlos C.
Store Owner
Thank you for taking your weekend to teach me all about guns and to help me improve my shooting. I really enjoyed your class, and I’m glad I decided to get a Concealed Carry Weapon Permit.
Brenda C.
Student
My hobby has been competitive shooting for thirty years. Consequently, I anticipated the classes for the CCW permit to be a little redundant. NOT!! I found your presentations to be exceptionally detailed and informative. It was refreshing to be tutored by an obviously well informed and professional instructor. However, I have to reinforce an old saying, "you’re never too old to learn something new."
David T.
Transportation Manager
During my CCW program, you, as our very able instructor, stressed the importance of responsibility and attitude of gun owners concerning the firing of their guns. Your attitude towards your students really showed that you care about your students and that "we" were your top priority. You know your subject matter well and present the material in a professional manner and make it interesting to the student.
Albert M.
Sgt.Major, USA Retired
I just wanted to say thank you for this weekends class. After taking your class I feel confident that I could safely and intelligently handle any situation I might be faced with. I will recommend MARICOPA TACTICAL to anybody I know looking for exceptional handgun and tactical training.
Derek S.
Self Employed
I never thought an instructor would take as much time and to be as assertive and encouraging as you were. Those in class who had never owned a gun seemed to be just as at ease as myself, a gun owner all of my life. Your class gave me what I feel to be perfect combination of the improved ability, and the confidence I would need if I ever had to use my sidearm.
Jess A.
Civil Designer
I wanted to thank you for your help and instruction in the recent training course that I attended. I was pleasantly surprised at the high level of professionalism that you brought to the classroom and to the range. You are one of the most personable people I have ever come into contact with, and your intelligence, knowledge of tactical training, and commitment to excellence was of a caliber reserved to only a select few with the title of "PROFESSIONAL." Many people claim that title, but it is rare to find an individual able to back it up.
