Howard Hall of Gun Whisperer presented both a highly informative and enjoyable 'Refuse to be a Victim' course. It was time well spent. From personal security to security on-line, while traveling and at home, he provided both tips to implement immediately as well as things to think about for the future. Some were obvious, common sense things perhaps I had forgotten or had taken for granted, others were things I never had thought of previously. All were worth considering. You will look at your world differently after this course. Highly recommended.

A fantastic teacher gives hours of recommendations on all aspects of a person's security concerns, including mental preparedness, home security, physical security travel security, cyber security, and automobile security.

This was a very personalized instruction for my wife and I this past Sat. I have some formal military training, but it has been a lot of years in the past and this was great to familiar again and for my wife it was a first time experience and Chip really took his time with her and made her feel comfortable enough to get over the anxiety to be able to feel comfortable with the weapon and hit the target. This was not just about shooting a pistol, it was about proper safety protocols and what to do and not to do in certain situations--very practical and very defensive in outlook and I was pleasantly surprised with this. For example the wepon is your last line of defense as I understood it and it is best to escape if possible, but if you cannot then barricade and dial 911, give verbal warnings and let the police to their job, unless someone is absolutely intent on getting you, then you have the wepon as the last resort. Very good advice/instruction. I would highly recommend this course and specifically this instructor to anyone considering to take this course--it gives you plenty of time for questions and answers and is not too fast paced that you cannot "get it". It is a small group and ideal to lean. Looking forward to my next more advanced class.

I found the Gun Whisperer while searching online for firearms training. I live in Wash DC so I was looking for something closer than the NRA facility. So I decided to try the Gun Whisperer that holds training classes in the Mount Vernon area. I signed up for the basic pistol shooting class as I am a total novice. The class is all day including class room time and range time. But I felt this time was very well spent. If you don't know much about guns in general, there are many things to learn. One full day is just barely enough time to get the basics. Our instructor, Chip, was extremely patient and took the time to answer each and every question. The small classroom format of 4 students is perfect for learning. I would strongly recommend this class to people who want to learn about pistols. The time on the range was interesting and fun. You get to try 5 different pistols to help you decide what's best for you. I look forward to my next class!

I have limited proficiency with firearms and this class was exactly what I was looking for. Howard is obviously very skilled in this area but provides the information in a way that is easy to absorb. His use of the laser machine to practice prior to the live fire was great and gave me more confidence to move on to the range portion. We also had an opportunity to try different types of handguns on the range which was helpful. Highly recommend this course!

This is one of the best courses I have taken and I have taken probably four safety courses over the past 10 years. It was very interactive and Ltcol Hall was sensitive to each of the students needs. I would highly recommend this course to anyone from the novice to the experienced shooter.

I must confess I was slightly apprehensive at undertaking firearms training. My previous encounters with individuals at several gun counters had left me thinking that firearms instructors were in general rude and arrogant. I had handled and used firearms throughout my former service in the United Kingdom Armed forces. However, this is a perishable skill and I wanted to start handgun ownership and use with a back to basics approach. The training from Howard Hall, both classroom and practical (firing range) not only met this requirement but exceeded my expectations. Howard Hall put me at ease straight away with his friendly and professional demeanor. At no time did I feel that I was out of my depth or uncomfortable handling a handgun in a safe manner. I cannot recommend Howard Hall highly enough for anyone looking to undertake firearms training.

Mr Howard Hall is an amazing teacher who will take your unlimited questions to make sure you get the material and all concepts are clear. Thank you so much for taking our never ending questions and your positive attitude allowed us to learn effectively and ask questions without any hesitation. I absolutely loved the experience but the credit goes to him and the efforts he put in designing and structuring this course. Thank you for simplifying it in a few words through great practical examples. My husband and I will never forget meeting you and we sincerely thank you for spending so much time with us. Take care, Wanda
