I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking firearms training. As a 20+ year member of the US Army in Aviation and Infantry I have seen many professional instructor/trainers and been through countless weapons classes. This company is as professional as any I have seen within the military. I have also taken civilian classes in the past. This company offers the best and gives the best instruction I have ever been through. Very knowledgeable and professional. Mike made it so easy to go through the CCW process including licensing out of Nevada. Even after all of the years of training and use of weapons I have been through I learned something new from Mike Motta. My family and friends will not use any other company for their training. Larry I. --, Reno, Nevada

I have lived in Nevada for about 15 years and never knew some of the information about gun laws and weapons handling that I learned from you. I found your class informative, educational, and fun. Thank you for the education. I feel better having taken this class, and I feel better knowing that I can carry my pistol legally and safely. I highly recommend Semper Firearms to anyone that is serious about their weapons and their rights! Being able to also get a permit from the State of Utah was a unexpected bonus!! Rick

Hi Mike: We both  enjoyed your class very much. I feel that you did an excellent job of covering the essential elements required to be able to apply for a CCW permit. I got a very definite sense that you are completely dedicated to what you are doing and you have a very strong belief in the principles which are defined in the Second Amendment which every true American citizen should become familiar with if they aren't already. I would have no reservations whatsoever in recommending your training to anyone interested in becoming qualified to get their CCW permit or pursuing more advanced training in the proficient and safe use of firearms. I appreciate your professionalism and look forward to working with you in future training. Russell P.

Mike, I enjoyed the personal service and definitely learned a lot. I’ve handled firearms for more than 40 years but I came away from your class with much more confidence, not only in concealed carry, but in the handling of handguns in general. Thanks for a great experience. Jack

Mike, Thanks so much or the training. It was very well done, nicely laid out, and to the point. Thanks again for a great class!! Brian C. -- Reno

I truly enjoyed the CCW course, the information contained within your classroom instruction was truly eye opening. Your method of instruction was first rate you walk the talk. Classroom information as well as rage procedures were very organized and professional. I would highly recommend SEMPER FIREARMS TRAINING  to all interested. Mike U. -- Reno Nevada

Hey Mike, Thanks a lot. The class was great. I really enjoyed the personal comments and experiences of your own that you threw in to make the class more enjoyable. I am already saving up some extra change to take the tactical class you had mentioned. Thanks again and I will look forward to seeing you again in another class, Brandon R . -- Sparks, NV.

Your CCW firearms course was very professional, concise and informative. It was an enjoyable 8 hrs. of classroom instruction including the live fire exercise. Your subtle humor also added to the enjoyable experience. Thank you. David A. -- Reno. NV.

I was totally impressed with the professionalism and depth of the course. All the subject matter was covered in depth and by being in our home in a relaxed and comfortable manner. I would and will recommend to any and all who have a interest in the course. Thank you, John. Roy B. -- Reno, NV.

I was very encouraged through your class, John. I was almost going to back out from lack of confidence in handling pistols, but your class gave me knowledge and confidence to pursue the course. Thank you again. Tara B.-- Reno, NV.

I can happily attest that I learned a great deal from your instructions, and I found your lecture and teaching style to be very professional, on-point, and edifying. (For what is it worth, I am a grad student and found your teaching skills on this subject matter to be superior to some of the professors I have studied under at university. Morgan S. -- Reno, NV

Hi John, the class you gave us was a delight. We have attended and given classes of this nature for the past 20 years, but there is always new information to gain. Your all day class seems to be over in a short time, so I am confident to say that your class was enjoyable. The material and content were interesting to hear and see. You are well organized. I look forward to future meetings with you. Take care and congratulations to your continued success. Hubert T. -- Reno, NV

Thank you so very much for the excellent private CCW class. For me it was a very enjoyable day. I know that all the required topics were covered, but to some extent, the class seemed individualized to my firearms knowledge and experience, and filled in many holes in my knowledge. You presented many issues on firearms safety that I had not considered. The lecture and discussion on firearms concealment was extremely valuable. The class was so very interesting, and topics so well presented, that the time seemed to fly by. Jack G. -- Lyon County

John, Thank you so much for providing such an informative class, I have had a CCW for 20 years in more than one state and I found your class not only very educational but friendly and very supportive of gun enthusiasts of all kinds. Thanks again. Kris S. -- Reno, NV.

Thanks for the information, it is sincerely appreciated. I enjoyed our day together. You are on the ball as an instructor and your style is relaxing and cordial. I will recommend you to my friends and associates. I wish you all the best and please keep in touch. Bill M. -- Reno, NV.

Thanks for the class today. Having been around weapons all my life, I have developed an ability to see through the bs- I am sure you've seen plenty of it yourself. Whether it's gun shop salespersons who don't know what they're talking about, or your standard wannabe. So it is refreshing when I can learn anything new from someone who isn't blowing smoke and knows what he's talking about. Derek M. -- Sparks, NV.

Thanks from both of us for your training course! You presented a program that was interesting, educational and informative. It doesn't hurt that you also have a sense of perspective and humor that we both find compatible with our own tastes. Chip R. -- Reno, NV.

Honestly, I don't have a single negative comment. You must have been doing this a while. You covered everything that we needed to know for the tests, and you were funny and friendly as well. Not an instructor who drones on in a monotone, so everyone stops paying attention. I've got another dozen people waiting in the wings for their CCW, and I know exactly where I'm sending them (YOU!). And you can post this on the web. David R. -- Reno, NV

My son-in-law and I enjoyed the CCW training provided by "Semper Firearms". You were at our home on time, well prepared, and presented the course material in an easy to understand and interesting manner. Your enthusiasm for the various aspects of firearms education was much appreciated. The live fire segment was safe and fun. We had only shot a handgun once before and it was great that you spent extra time so that he developed the needed level of proficiency. We both felt that the value of the class was well worth the investment. Gary K. --  Sparks, NV.

Thank you for the Concealed Weapons Training that you have provided. Your class was very informative and at the same time provided real life situations. The information and training that you have provided, will help to better protect myself and others in dangerous situations. Your ability to be flexible with dates, and mobile made for ease of schedule and location. Thank you for your time and dedication to this program. Troy T. --  Fallon, NV

Thank you very much for your time and well structured class. Your understanding of firearms and what it means to carry concealed and the responsibilities that go with that was worth every penny. Your class was not only informative but was enjoyable as well. That fact that you come to your student’s location helps to make the class a more personal experience. Andy N. -- Reno, NV

Thank you for accommodating us with your CCW class on such short notice! As a Firearms Instructor with Homeland Security, it was refreshing to see an instructor with a genuine interest in teaching the information and not just collecting the payment! We are sent through so many classes in which we find the instructors just going through the motions. We will definitely recommend your course to all our instructors who pass through your area." Tony R. -- San Diego, CA

John, Thanks for a great course; as a firearms instructor myself I was hesitant about sitting through six hours of lecture but you gave a great class and even added several tricks to my bag o tricks. The laws and concealed carry holsters were especially informative and I look forward to spending time discovering the right holster for me. Kevin M. -- Irvine, CA

Hi Mike, It was a pleasure having you as our instructor for our renewal of our CCW. Because of your flexible schedules, we were able to have class at our home. This was extremely helpful to us being that we travel a lot and we were never available for a weekend classroom course. Having you at our home was more informative and relaxed. The shooting part was awesome. We love being outdoors. Thank you for your professional instruction and we will recommend Semper Firearms to anyone. We do look forward to taking additional courses. Dan T and Victoria G,  Reno, Nevada

My wife and I were both very please with the CCW firearms training that we received from Semper Firearms. Mike puts on a very professional class with material that makes it easy to follow along with. He was knowledgeable when ever we asked any questions. Mike made the range time very safe and fun. He gave my wife some valuable pointers that helped with her accuracy. I would recommend Semper Firearms to anyone looking for safe knowledgeable firearms training.  Thanks again Mike, Don and Becky, Reno, NV

I wanted to say that you were very professional and knowledgeable in your presentation - Thanks, I will let others know about you when given the opportunity. Mike K. -- Reno, NV
