WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"I have been scared of guns my entire life. Since I turned 40 this year I was determined to overcome this fear. The ONLY person I trust teaching me proper gun handling and safety is Maggie. She is knowledgeable, cautious, and patient (not to mention fun!). She made me feel comfortable and definitely more confident in just one session. I am still in the learning phase and will definitely take another class with her until I’m proficient enough to purchase a weapon of my own! I highly recommend taking her gun course as well as any women’s self defense course she offers. I learned so much about how to be more aware of your surroundings as well as what to do in dangerous situations. We practiced real life scenarios that will stick with me forever. The knowledge and stories shared were eye opening, wish I would have done it sooner!!"
-Ashley Johnson
"We took lessons with Maggie a few days ago and were so impressed with her knowledge, patience, and overall demeanor. It had been many years since I had fired a gun and was nervous. Maggie made me feel completely at ease, going over firearm safety before we did anything else. She brought different styles of holsters, bands, and leggings for concealed carrying to show me. She went over everything a person new to firearms, or someone needing a refresher, should know. She also had hearing protection, and her range was neat and clean. My best friend is familiar with guns but still learned valuable things during our lesson. I will be scheduling more time with Maggie very soon and highly recommend her!"
-Camille Thomas
"Our lesson with Maggie was incredibly helpful and comprehensive! Maggie provided education on gun logistics, gun safety, and then shooting. I feel more comfortable around guns, now that I understand them better. I’ve already booked a second lesson. My husband and I highly recommend MDM Tactical!"
-Linda Fox
"I highly recommend this class with Maggie for anyone who wants to learn about guns but may be apprehensive or nervous. She went over gun safety, different ways to carry that fit with our individual needs, and shooting technique. She walked us through all the steps until we were confident to do this on our own. She also had multiple styles to try out to see what fits. I feel more confident and also empowered after learning this skill."
-Jennifer Bhatia
