"This class was excellent.  I was provided a comfortable learning environment in a small class setting where myself as well as others could ask questions and not feel out of place. 

They were very thoughtful and I recommend this class to anyone from novice to expert."

Joshua T. Raney

"The training and instruction that I received from the Elrod's met all of my expectations. 

They offer up a relaxed, yet focused, learning environment...whether in the classroom or on the range.

Both Chuck and Peggy offered easy to understand materials and examples of what is required for taking on the responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon.

I would recommend the Elrod's to anyone serious about learning handgun safety or training."

Marty Leavengood   

"This class was very informational.  I think before citizens are able to purchase a firearm they should be required to take this class.  By being in this class I was able to learn my rights as a firearm owning citizen.

The class was perfect, it included an instructional video and there was material available for hands on learning.  The instructors were very involved and really cared that you were able to understand the materials covered in the classroom.  The instructors used real life scenarios that helped class retain material."

Rodney Reddick

"This class is great for the understanding and confidence in using a handgun.  The instruction of the class helps you determine when and what you need to do in case any situation arises. 

 As far as things to do better for the class, I would say keep everything the same.  All points were explained as needed and were given opportunity to ask and get questions answered."

Anthony Floyd  

"I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in a concealed weapons class.  The firing range practice was AWSOME!  I was shown some bad habits that I was unaware I even had.  I was receiving training from an EXPERT!  I was not expecting this, and it was AWSOME.  Chuck was continually coaching me and having me to remain positive, as I was nervous about the target practicing.

It became VERY obvious that BOTH instructors were very professional and have done this MANY times.  AWSOME Class and I just can't say enough about how great this was."

Jerry Ray

"The class is very informative.  I recommend it to anyone who plans to handle handguns.  I am sure that my skill and safety have been greatly increased by this experience.

Peggy and Charles will bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable and get as much from this as possible."

Phillip Lilly   

"Well Done, both went above & beyond in offering tips and literally making us fell 'at home' results were better shooting, better safety and a '100' on my test!"

Michael Buck

"The Elrods provided a comfortable environment that helped make the learning process easy. They also went above and beyond in showing personal knowledge of techniques - from shooting, to carry/handle, to cleaning."

David Kearns

"I found the Conceal Carry Handgun class as presented by Chuck and Peggy to be an excellent introduction to the legal and practical aspects of carrying a concealed firearm.

The instructors are very friendly and personable, and present the required material effectively while also introducing their own useful personal experiences."

Lee Chidester

"Peggy & Chuck were great. Their level of knowledge was impressive. The level of personal detail, made the class very informative and fun. I recommend anyone pursuing their CCH in theTriangle area to go see Peggy & Chuck."

William Hemmingsen

"First off, Chuck and Peggy are both warm and inviting. They will open their home and share experiences as if you are family. I've been shooting my whole life and I still found the class informative. They go above and beyond what you'd expect and should be deeply appreciated."

Nick Mayo

"The concealed carry handgun training class conducted by Charles and Peggy Elrod was done in a professional and friendly manner. It was a pleasure to learn the do’s and don’ts of the legal issues and to know without question your rights as an firearms owner. You learn a wide and broad purposed and objective instructional lesson on handgun safety, fundamentals and techniques and come out of this class with a personal sense of security. I strongly advise anyone who wants to make the correct decisions to take this valuable class."

Bud Moore

"Many thanks to Charles and Peggy for offering these training classes. The class was very informative and professionally conducted. I was the only female in my class. I was not the least bit intimidated. I would encourage all women to take this firearms carry class. I go camping each fall and spring. It is now legal to carry firearms into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park only if you possess a concealed weapon permit. I will feel much safer now knowing I have my handgun with me when I visit this park again. Now I can carry it legally.

I learned my rights as a citizen from the concealed weapon training class. Each scenario was explained thoroughly. We did not continue onto another possible situation until everyone had a complete and through understanding of the current scenario. I would definitely recommend taking this class from Charles and Peggy Elrod. I feel confident carrying my firearm with me now that I know my rights and the laws and responsibilities involved with obtaining and carrying a concealed weapon."

Arlene Moore

"I learned quite a bit of information about the rules of concealed carry that I would not have known without taking this class."

Andrew Acker 

"The class was a great small sized that really personalized the training.  It seems both Charles and Peggy are knowledgeable in the subjects they teach."

Rich Kehler   

"I have learned so much in this class. Peggy & Charles have changed my prospective on handling guns. They taught me about N.C. Laws that I never knew. They taught me not only to protect my family from deadly harm but the safety of handling guns."

Kelly Malile

"I learned alot from the class about all laws & rules and had a great time in things learned."

Edward Stewart

"You were very hospitable and friendly.  I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to say 'I don't know.'"

D. Alan Hahn

"Class was very informative, covering the areas that I previously didn't know.  Especially in the areas of NC Law and it's application to real life scenarious....

...I did find the class environment very relaxing and informal which seemed to help learning the material very easy...Thanks."

Tim Schulien  

"The class was exactly as it was represented when I initially called.  There was no expectation by Charles and Peggy that I already knew aspects so everything was covered.  Thanks."
