Thank you so much. Having the opportunity to attend the Hand gun qualification course / Utah concealed carry class  was very  informative and I  truly appreciated the way that you presented all of your material. Truly, I don’t think I would feel half so confident or prepared for what is to come if I had not taken the courses I have with you. Your academic expectations on safely using a handgun and your clarity in explaining your requirements were both welcome and inspiring. Thank you for helping me reach a different, and higher, level of knowledge than I have been able to attain thus far! I wish you much success in the upcoming year. I know that anyone  taking your course  will have an incredibly rich and satisfying educational experience with you to guide them. Sincerely and with much gratitude,”

I have learned more from Jody Maki and GirlOnFre than in my entire Law Enforcement career and years using firearms.  I cannot overstate enough the value of the knowledge I have received from this instructor.  Outstanding.

Robert Hanley

While serving in the military (75th Ranger Regiment) and as a federal law enforcement officer (Federal Air Marshal) I have been fortunate to train with some of the best instructors/trainers in the world.  Jody rates right up there with the best.  Not only was taking her course worth my money it was more importantly worth my time.  If you can get in to one of her classes count yourself fortunate because no matter your experience level you will be better for it.  - John T.
