We were all introduced to Joel Edwards as the instructor of theCombo Basic & Enhanced Concealed Carry Class. First message to all class members was to advise that first task on the agenda was shooting qualification before any concealed class instruction. This was done to accomodate the range over crowding by modifing our planned scheduled shooting qualification. That put a new order on our formal training schedule. A great quick recovery by Joel Edwards to redue our training schedule.From this moment forward, remainder of training was excellent and allowed all students advantage to complete the course. We were also sent more than enough info to have a jump on course study. Well planned and all participants passed with flying colors,Excellent class in every way. My complements to theinstructor.

This was a great class for concealed carry. Joel is very knowledgeable and gave practical application along with sound teaching on the concealed carry laws in Arkansas, and even some expectations for other states. Joel was engaging and easy to talk to. I would recommend Joel's class for anyone looking to get a regular or enhanced concealed carry in Arkansas.

Joel was excellent. Dozens of real examples to help with learning and attention. When we went to gym range I noticed a group getting their conceal carry in a large school type setting. This was private and very close to the same price. I would do it again for sure.

Highly recommend Joel. I had an excellent experience in this concealed carry class. Joel was an outstanding instructor—knowledgeable, professional, and very approachable. He explained everything clearly, answered all questions thoroughly, and made sure everyone understood both the legal responsibilities and practical aspects of concealed carry. The private class was relaxed, well-organized, informative, and engaging from start to finish. I left feeling confident, informed, and better prepared to carry responsibly. I highly recommend this class and Joel as an instructor to anyone considering concealed carry training.

Joel is an outstanding instructor. I’ve taken a couple firearms classes and a previous concealed carry class over the years, and he stands apart from every other instructor I’ve had.Joel felt more like a college professor than a typical firearms instructor. Other classes I’ve taken leaned heavily on the instructors law enforcement background or pure firearms enthusiasm, but Joel was far more practical. There was no stack of papers to sort through, no mandatory awkward videos, and no macho bravado.Instead, he focused on clear, thoughtful discussion and real-world understanding. His legal background truly shines. He focuses on helping you understand how to protect yourself and your family while staying on the right side of the law.I walked away feeling better informed, and more prepared to carry responsibly (he even corrected some of my previous instructors’ mistakes). I can’t recommend his class highly enough.

Joel was very friendly, educational, and made me feel comfortable as a first time firearm owner. I'd definitely recommend his class!
