The instructor was excellent and very knowledgeable. The class was informative and well done, I enjoyed the way the instructor moved from topic to topic, never a dull moment. I learned quite a bit and walked away glad that I chose Naples Gun Shop for my class. Matthew Dobranski
Very well run class, excellent instructor. The time flew and I learned so much.Rich Peccia
The class was very good. It was informal and questions and comments were welcomed. Some students had lots of experience with guns and others had never shot a gun. Students ranged in age from 21 to over 70. Dennis, the NRA certified instructor was very professional, serious in his teaching and relaxed in his method. He teaches the laws in the state of Florida and gives good guidance. He teaches how to load, unload and shoot a gun properly. I highly recommend the class for all levels of experience. You will learn something even if you’ve had experience with guns. Peggy McGraw
Thank you for the information! Gloria Cahill

Frankly, the 4 hours went by quickly. Learned a lot. Instructor had a good sense of humor, which helped the time pass. South Florida Reporter
I took the Basic Pistol/Concl.Lic Group Class at this location. The instructor made the class engaging and I learned quite a bit. I am not experienced with a gun but felt that the class provided me with the tools to better understand the laws as well as the handling of a weapon. I would recommend this class to beginners as well as those experienced. Everyone at the gun shop was great. Sonnia Spiegler

Our NRA Licensed instructor, Dave Rich at Naples Gun Shop and School, did an excellent job explaining the process, methods and rules that must be understood to safely carry a concealed weapon. The information he provided is critical to carrying safely and responsibly. The class was complete, instructive and even entertaining. I highly recommend attending Dave's class if you are considering obtaining your CWP. Matt C

Great job and very informative. Wes
My husband and I just finished the Basic Pistol/ CCW class. Dennis was an incredibly knowlegable instructor who included invaluable information for the novice gun owner. He also had a great sense of humor and an unusual amount of patience. I highly recommend taking this class even if you have no need for a CCW permit. Naples Gun Shop rocks. Thank you!! kate reese

Awesome awesome awesome gun one stop shop. Dennis did an awesome job with CWP Basic Safety class. He was very straightforward about information. He did a great job at keeping everyone engaged. And was EXTREMELY patient with some of the newbs. A lot more patience than I had just spectating. Very knowledgeable. David was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful. This is my first visit to any Naples gun shop and I have zero interest in visiting any others after this visit. Very happy with my visit. GREAT EXPERIENCE.Cassandra Stead

I am an attorney from New York and currently residing in Florida. I have no experience with guns and never thought of owning one. Nevertheless, I wanted to understand gun culture and gun issues in Florida especially now that I am a permanent Florida resident. David Rich's class was extremely informative and David clearly demonstrated not only his knowledge of guns and gun safety but more importantly for me, he provided the legal framework and ramifications and responsibilities of gun use and ownership. Overall, the class was thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable. Dean Fong

Martha Hohenthaner
This was a very good class. I did not have to take it, as I am a Veteran, however it is a good idea. I learned a lot about Florida Law I did not know. It will in the long run help keep you out of trouble. David was very patient with my wife when we live fired, because she has arthritis and had a hard time pulling the trigger in double action mode. Good Job David thanks so much.. - Joseph Hohenthaner
The class was engaging and as fast paced as it can be. The instructor was knowledgeable and worked well with a class spanning all the levels of experience and age you can imagine. I also felt it was fairly priced, especially as you just had to bring yourself and an ID - all other supplies were, er, supplied. - Cliff Elam
Naples Gun Shop & School gets an A+ in my book! David and Ginny were great. I took the CWP class today 7/21/18. Both are extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

I will definitely be returning to do further business. Thank you David & Ginny....see you soon! - Nicholas Lupo
I've been a repeat customer for FFL transfers with Naples Gun School for quite some time. Dave's customer service and knowledge are second to none. After speaking with Dave for a few moments, you start to feel as if you have known him for quite a while. I look forward to continuing my business when the new location opens. - Robert Boyette
I really enjoyed the class yesterday, and it was very nice to meet David and Ginny. David is very knowledgeable, helpful, and best of all: has a sense of humor. I was more nervous than I thought I would be because this was the first time in my life that I've ever shot a semi-automatic weapon. David lives and breathes this stuff and his presence and ease with weapons was very calming for me when I was at the range. Ginny was also very supportive throughout the whole class. Thank you guys so much! It's a pleasure and I will be back to purchase supplies from you! - Shenandoah Webb
Took the 3/31/18 class and loved it! Dave was very informative and his laid back teaching style made the 4 hour class fly by. Would recommend this class to anyone interested in a CWP. Thanks Dave and Ginny! - Kelly Gardner
I’d like to thank The Naples Gun School for the time and effort they took in order to help me become a more responsible hand gun owner. By taking your CCWP class on 3.31.2018, I’m honestly a better person today than I was yesterday. Your course is not only interesting, but informative as well. The time we had together flew by. Throughout the whole process, they were calm and patient with every student. Especially after everyone seemed to drop their cartridges on the floor during the revolver training portion of the program. I highly recommend Naples Gun School to anyone that’s interested in becoming a CCWP holder. And I definitely will use their services by purchasing all my gun needs through their establishment. David & Ginny, thank you so much. I had a wonderful time! - Chris Shaffer
This class kept me very interested, informed and didn’t even realize 4 hours went by! Would recommend everyone to take this class! - Douglas Shaffer
- Lurybella Lora Trejo
Used Naples Gun School for a FFL transfer and after talking with David decided to take his CCW class and am glad I did. David is very knowledgeable and his class is small so you receive one on one training in the classroom and the range. I Highly recommend Naples Gun School. You won’t find a better class in Naples. Thank you David for a great experience. - Michael Ferrarelli
Thorough, energetic, knowledgeable, PATIENT, and even entertaining at times! As an Educator, I know it can be daunting sometimes to teach the same material over and over, but David certainly didn't show it. You can tell how passionate he is about what he does.
I researched multiple options around town in choosing the provider for my CCW class. David & Ginny as a husband & wife team, provided the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE in answering all of my questions thoroughly and promptly before even signing up. And somehow, Naples Gun School was also able to provide the LOWEST COST in town!
As a female and brand new to guns, David & Ginny made me feel safe, secure, and comfortable. THANK YOU! A+++ - Jessica Payne
I took the class on 3/10/18 and I was blown away. David and his wife are excellent people and David is an excellent instructor. The class is excellent and exceeded my expectations with information on the laws of Florida, and as well to carry properly, load the weapons as well as placement of holding weapons. If your looking to buy a weapon he is the man to go to. I personally bought my firearm from and he equipped me with great knowledge during my time there. I give this class 100 out of 100 and highly recommended. David is a great guy and instructor with many years of experience!! - Cory Duffy

I attended the conceal carry and gun safety training class on Feb 17th, 2018. David was very knowlegable and provided a lot of information that I think should be part of any gun safety or conceal carry training. He was very professional and took the time after the class and before we met at the gun range to answer several questions I had as well as show me a few different gun options they sell. I highly recommend David and Naples gun shop & school for anyone wanting to seriously learn what they need to before purchasing or using a firearm. Thank you, David! - Amanda Daves

I learned so many important things that I never would have even thought about without this class. Ginny was also so wonderful, and so supportive when I was nervous. I had so many questions that were answered, and the amount of knowledge Ginny and Davis shared with the class was astounding.

I would recommend this class/school to anyone & everyone - far exceeded all of my expectations. So thankful to know Naples Gun School!!! -Kelly Sheridan

I attended the class on Saturday, June 10th. It was a wonderful experience. David was extremely knowledgeable, professional and thorough. The hands on experience in the class was exceptional. I had taken a class several years ago and it was no where as complete and informative as the class here at the Naples Gun Shop & School. The class was attended by both novices and experienced students and it was evident that everyone benefitted greatly! I would highly recommend this class. David approaches the class with seriousness interjected with a great sense of humor! Really glad I attended, thank you! - Diane McNabb
Great people , makes it simple and fun . Time flies , really learn about life experiences . Would recommend to anyone -Tay Sanders

I used Naples Gun School as a FFL for my recent gun purchase and it worked out great...Dave is very knowledgeable and totally professional, made it a breeze to receive my gun. -Ed E
The concealed weapons course was very informative and professional. The instructor was very patient, especially with the hands on portions of the class with those of us who had never held a gun. I definitely recommend their classes. - Nancy Trujillo Denny
I took the [CWP] class today with my wife. Been around guns and still learned something. Very informative and enjoyable. My wife enjoyed it. Thanks - Peter Nels Fredrickson (RIP Pete, Aug 2019)
David, I did enjoy your class today. It was well organized, smooth flow, good stories, and I learned a lot. I would highly recommend anyone interested in conceal carry to take your class. Regards,Tim Green PS. I’ll let you know when I am ready to purchase my next gun, I shot the Glock 43, now I want to try several others.
Just took the class today. David and his wife are wonderful, and as such the class was serious, yet totally enjoyable. A lot of information, a lot to learn, but for me, a first-time gun user, imperative and a class that gave me a sense of confidence in handling a gun. We had one-on-one with David at the range as well. Truly his is the class to take, whether for someone who has handled guns previously or not! - Rhonda Singer
The classroom portion of the concealed weapons class was very informative. The instructors were knowledgeable and kept the pace moving. The range portion was great and I was very comfortable with the instruction. My husband will be attending in February. - Janice Shewan
Best place to take your CWP class, friendly, he aswer all your question but most important he teach real life experience, curse take around 6 hours but you don't even notice it, I really recommend this place to any one that wants to get the Concealed Weapon Permit. - Osmani Paz
My husband and I took this course which was very well presented in a professional manner. The time passed very quickly but we were never bored. Dave took the time to make sure each class member had an opportunity to work with different guns loading, locking, unloading, clearing jams, etc. Well worth the money. After class we went to a firing range to practice our skills. I hit the target all five times! We would recommend this course without reservation. BTW we did check out the other CCW classes offered in the area and thought this was the most thorough and reasonable priced. I will say the police department offers instruction for free but it takes two days to complete and about 3 more hours. - Patti Boesche
Really enjoyed my experience. Before this class I had never even touched a gun before. Dave Rich and his wife are amazing!! The class was so informative and interesting the time just flew by! My husband and I took the class together and plan on going to the Alamo Gun Range often to practice, it's something we can do together. I would highly recommend this class!! - Lisa Wright
WOW, we had the C/C class yesterday. Four hours of sitting on uncomfortable chairs! It seemed like 30 minutes. David was fast paced, fun, informative and enjoyable. - Dave Boesche
I highly recommend the CWC with David Rich. I have to admit I was not looking forward to the class due to the amount of hours but David Rich was extremely knowledgeable, professional and made the class exciting and fun. -Tina Martin
My Lady & I took the Concealed Carry class Oct 29th in Naples. I have to say I expected the class to be long and somewhat boring. We were both pleasantly surprised when Mr. Rich presented a very informative, thorough, & interesting class. He was organized, to the point, and patient in explanation. We had folks with years of experience along with some who've never pulled a trigger - all were treated with respect. I highly recommend Naples Gun School as your “go to” for this important training. Mike Hervey
Completed a professional, practical and enjoyable class in preparation for my Florida CWP application. The greatest benefit was the hands on weapons instruction and target range practice. - Lanny Myska
David, I did enjoy your class. I had been looking at taking a CWP class for over a year and have looked at several different web sites trying to decide which one to choose. After reading your history and qualification, I decided on Naples Gun School. It was the right decision. Your class was very informative and not boring. I've been around guns all my life but I still learned some things to help me be a better shooter. The range experience was top notch. Thanks! Ricky Livengood
This class was Amazing, packed with so much information. Thought the class would have put me to sleep, and I was wrong. The Instructor was engaged and had a voice that kept your attention. I give him props he was injured and still keep the class fun and educational. Just want to say thank you, for anyone looking for a great class it's here at Naples Gun School. - Jean Meroni
David provided not only the technical information that I needed to understand the safe use of a handgun, but effectively impressed on us the awesome responsibility to which we were committing. His instruction on how to shot with accuracy and consistency were easy to follow and real world applicable. Thank you. ~ Michael Boyer
I enjoyed this class. It was very imformative and I learned alot! He knew alot of facts and they were very welcoming. Rasi Mowicz
I just took this class Saturday 8/6/16, excellent course on the subject of CWP. The Instructor, David Rich was great, very professional in his demeanor. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is considering to take this class. No disappointments here!! Very Knowledgeable a full Pro!!!! - Anthony Mortellaro
I just moved from NY to Naples and was eager to take a firearm instruction, concealed carry and safety class. My main goal was ro find someone professional, experienced and patient. After visiting many gun ranges in Naples and as far out as Ft Meyers my husband called Naples Gun School and spoke to Dave. After speaking to him and being so impressed we signed up on line for the class and also took a ride over to meet him. After an informitive conversation about his impressive, extensive background in law enforcement, firearms and training I knew this was the instructor I was searching for, I felt completely comfortable.
Meeting his wife Ginny this morning was a pleasure, as a woman I was highly impressed with her expertise and experience with firearms, at this point I felt relaxed and confident in my choice and became excited about learning about firearms and safety.
The instruction from Dave was so interesting and thorough, while most technical instruction in any subject can seem dry, Dave's class was filled with humorous stories and scenarios, the entire group laughed and he made everyone feel so welcome, like we were all friends. He made it so easy for me to understand something I knew nothing about, from the differences in firearms to handling, loading and unloading the weapon to safety and local laws and so much more.
Going to the gun range with Dave, Ginny and the group was an empowering experience for me, as each one from the group was finished with Dave, they returned to the main area with their paper target in hand and huge smiles, we all cheered for them. As I was one of the last to go, I enjoyed watching everyone shoot before me and watching Dave instruct each student differently according to their needs, truly impressive! I was proud of people I had just met as well as being proud of myself. We highly recommend taking this class with Dave and Ginny, they are truly a one of a kind duo. Whether you're experienced, as my husband was or a beginner like myself, you will be happy you signed up for this class with them, Enjoy! Laura and Gary Cress
Very informative class with hands-on instructions on the proper handling of various types of hand guns. David Rich's experience in law enforce was illuminating as well as entertaining when relating various aspects of gun ownership as well as the responsibilities said ownership carries with it. I recommend this glass for anyone interested in their rights, and the responsibilities that come with ownership of a hand gun. - Patrick Daly
The training class was excellent! David Rich is a professional who brings his experince to the classsroom. He presented a comprehensive course on gun safety and covered all the required responsibilities for owning and carry a weapon. He cites actual life experiences and he made the training exciting and interesting. I especially credit David for his patience in answering all questions posed by the students. I highly recommend this training. Jim M
The instructor (Dave Rich) is highly qualified, professional and kept the class interesting as the three hours just flew by. I am really glad I took the class and I would definitely recommend Naples Gun School! - Mercedes Benitez
Great experience, very informative. Questions were answered thoroughly and laws explained clearly. Lower price for a better education. - Jessica Cox
I have taken a Concealed Carry class in another state and your class was by far the best of the two classes. Very informative, but also very much a common sense class. I liked the small class size and felt everyone was comfortable asking questions and really learning the material. Well Done!”- Kurt Weber
Great experience with the CW class, informative and enjoyable, great job all the way around. Good people doing a great service to the SW Florida area. Thanks again for a great experience and a very informative and educational experience. The range work was quite beneficial and I bought my new SW40 from your site and the price was excellent. Keep up the great work, and thanks again.- Michael Towns
Really enjoyed the concealed weapons class with Dave Rich. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating to newbies!!!! The 4 hrs went by so fast!!! That means it was very interesting and informative. It is also a very relaxed atmosphere and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you so much to Dave and his wife!! This was a great class! !- Debbie Pelletier
Amazing time! Class was very fun & insightful. Worth every single penny & more. - Stephen Arango
I had my concealed carry permit before taking David’s Basic Handgun Safety course, but felt that a review might be beneficial. I got way more than I bargained for including techniques that I’d either forgotten or never learned. I expected David to be knowledgeable, but probably not a teacher – turns out that he is both. He covered a lot of information and kept it interesting all the way. He also did a great job of mixing in “hands on” training that clarified many safety techniques that I thought I knew until I tried to do them with David’s guidance.
My wife took the course with me and is applying for her conceal carry permit. She gained both a general awareness of how to handle a handgun and specific techniques. Clearly she needs more experience to make these techniques “automatic”, but she’s got the basic knowledge to build on. I highly recommend David’s course. Bill Bowen

Thank you and Ginny for doing such a great job today. Phillip and I really enjoyed the class. You have real world knowledge and experience that you apply that to your teaching techniques which really makes a difference. You kept us engaged the entire time and made it enjoyable. Thank you again, Kelly Nelson

David, I have been around guns all my life. Your knowledge and patience are outstanding! It is comforting to know individuals such as yourself are out there teaching the 'right' way to handle a firearm. Safely, responsibly, and comfortably. ~ Pam Maas
