Just completed my 2nd CCDW permit class with Kirk Marino proprietor of Marino Tactical Solutions in Lincoln. I had initially asked Kirk for the Basic Handgun course for my wife and I would accompany her for support. She has never held a firearm of any sort and I wanted her to be taught by a professional. I told Kirk of my resent experience at another CCDW course [I took a similar course offered in Georgetown and I was very dissatisfied with the entire contents of their class. Without going into details, it was mind numbing] and he suggested to move us up to the CCDW class, reduce the enrollment, and offer additional one-on-one instruction for her. There was one other for a total of 3 students.
The ENTIRE experience was superb, a comfortable setting, group participation with current information and demonstrations. The relaxed environment allowed us to question openly and understand all facets of personal protection, self-defense, situation avoidance, and CC.
Range time was ample with multiple shooting circumstances, firearm misfire corrections, proper handgun control and stance work. Textbook instruction was magnificent. My wife came away, comfortable with her firearm and very excited about the experience and ready for range work.
I came away educated and eager to endorse Marino Tactical Solutions to anyone thinking of firearm training or permit work.
Thank you Kirk for an exceptional experience!
