I recently took the class in Springs given by Riley. Riley is a great instructor with the right combination of knowledge and humor. I walked out knowing much more than I knew walking in. I highly recommend Colorado CCW training and I know you will get your moneys worth. Jeff M

Riley was humorous and educational. The three hours flew by and the entire process was very helpful. Riley answered quite a few of my questions about different types of guns did carry and the differences in ammo.

I am extremely pleased with the CCW class that Riley taught. He covered the essentials of concealed carry in an appropriate depth and gave me the confidence one needs to carry. Riley is an excellent teacher. He establishes a very comfortable atmosphere and connection with the student. I intend to utilize his talents and knowledge through additional training.
