Valerie T2024-10-20I suggest anyone who hasn't taken their conceal to carry to give First Shot Firearm Training a shot..lol. Mary Parsons is a great instructor. She is patient and knows her stuff!! I learned a lot because of Mary! First Shot Firearm Training is worth every bit of the required 16 hours!
bkmersh2024-07-05Mary was an excellent instructor. With an emphasis on safety as well as other legal aspects of concealed carry, she was very thorough and easy to understand. She's a patient and caring instructor in her approach to new shooters. It's very clear that she cares for her students and wants them to succeed. You'll appreciate her no-nonsense approach and her obvious, vast knowledge of experience.
Lauren Ozburn2024-07-01I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mary Parsons at First Shot Firearm Training. I just finished the concealed carry 16 hr class and not only was it affordable but she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. If you are considering getting your concealed carry in Illinois, I would absolutely suggest signing up with her.
Murilo Albino2024-06-21Mary was FANTASTIC! My wife was always very skeptical of firearms and even a little afraid of them. It was my wife's first experience handling a pistol. Mary made she feel so much at home that my wife wanted to go directly to a store and buy her first gun after the session. We have scheduled gun range dates now! Thank you, Mary!!!
Frank Fung2024-06-16I have difficulty scheduling my recertification for ccw because of my work schedule but Mary was very accommodating. Went out of her way to work around my schedule. Good class and she is passionate about what she does. Highly recommend First Shot for CCW.
W Jean2024-06-11I took a CC class at First Shot, and I learned so much. Mary is an expert, and a wonderful trainer. Highly recommend, and I plan to return for more.
Terrie Clydesdale2024-06-10Mary is a very gifted and patient teacher. I went into this class thinking I couldn't and she showed me I could. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I didn't know I could have!
Devante Godwin2024-06-09Very detailed training. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the area even if you're a beginner. You WILL get the training you need to be confident. Thanks Mary!
big-chill2024-06-05The best.
Jarvis Dixon2024-05-27Highly recommended by multiple police and fire agencies. She made the class enjoyable even though the law is boring. I thought I was confident in owning/ concealing a weapon prior to the class, but after receiving this class and learning the material from Mary. I'm 100x more confident in my ability to protect my family and myself. This is a 10/10 recommended class and I would certainly take this class again.Load more
