    I am wanting to get my ccw permit. I called St. Bernard shooting range and Shooters club and they do not have classes available till the end of November. What other options in the Orleans metro area do I have that might have earlier openings? Would like to get some good recommendations.

    Do you have any experience with them? They have an opening for a class next week. Broken up in two days.

    I do, that's who I took my class with. Guy's name is Dave Newman -- straight shooter, no BS, all business, lots of insights. I wouldn't say it was the most magical educational experience of my life, but it got the job done. I paid a bit extra to have it private one-on-one and that took the time down from 8 hours to 4.5 hours.

    I might check into the one on one. I haven't been looking forward to the 9hrs.

    You can schedule online and get it done in a weekend or on weekdays. I did my renewal with David Newman and it was a good experience. Highly recommended!

    No it doesn't sound fun. I went back and dug up my receipt -- it was $180. Basically just about what your time is worth... if you value your time at more than $25/hr, that'd be the way to trim some fat.

    I decided to go with Dave Newman and got my certificate today. The classes were broken up into two days in the evenings. It didnt take as long as I thought and was not so bad at all. I'd def recommend him. Great guy, listens to your questions and gives solid advice.
