"If you want a comprehensive understanding of firearm safety, and defensive firearm tactics,you need to check out Fred's Firearms, in Oakdale, Ca. It's a family business owned by Fred and Jennifer. I have taken the basic firearms class, the advanced training, certification for new guns, and certification for a CCW. Most importantly, the training is comprehensive in all aspects of firearm safety. The classes are structured so that everyone can ask questions as you go. They work with first time gun owners as well as long time gun owners. The training is fun and they are very helpful with shooting techniques. I highly recommend Fred's Firearms for Training, Sale, Service, and good old visiting. Great people! "

“I took the 2-day CCW class at Fred’s Firearms. It was a great class and Mike and Philip are great instructors. Both were easygoing and I felt comfortable asking questions during the class. I enjoyed the class so much, I ended up taking three more classes with Fred’s Firearms (Handgun 1, Handgun II and Handgun III). Definitely would recommend Fred’s Firearms and any firearm classes you are interested in taking with them!”
