"Phil is a great and thorough instructor. He has a positive energy and makes sure you know everything you need to know so that you’re comfortable and prepared to carry/conceal carry".

"My wife and I very much enjoyed the class. It was very informative as to governing law. Hearing on point examples pulled from Phil's personal law enforcement experience reinforced what we were learning. We highly recommend it for anyone interested in obtaining a Utah Concealed Carry permit.

"I had an absolutely great experience with Phil in the CCW and NRA Basic Pistol course. Phil is an excellent teacher in class and awesome instructor at the range. I gained a ton of knowledge and confidence in the classes. His skills and expertise are first class for sure. I'm so happy I took these courses. Thank you so much Phil!!"

"This was such a great informative class!! Phil did an excellent job at educating the class! He is super friendly and made the class very entertaining while also very informative!! You can tell that he cares deeply about what he does and loves his job! I HIGHLY recommend him!!!"

"Phenomenal experience! Phil Snyder is a retired police officer and is able to provide the “law enforcement mind” aspect to the carry class which is extremely beneficial! It makes sense to take a carry class from a person with his experience. I’ve heard that other carry classes can be a bore- but not this one! Phil takes the time to role play, [and] gives real life examples."

"I bought this class as a Christmas present for my step dad this year and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. Phil is an excellent instructor and has a passion for what he does. My step dad attended the class and enjoyed every minute of it. [Phil] gave examples of real life situations that you may encounter and the appropriate way to handle those situations. He clears up the fog of when it’s appropriate to draw your firearm and when it’s not.

"Phil is a retired Police officer that took the class through 4 hours of in depth understanding of not only the laws in Utah, but also the unique perspective he has of the laws from law enforcement. It was never dull, stories that were funny to ones that caught our attention to make us think twice before getting into certain situation. Fingerprinting and passport photos are taken right there, he hand delivers the packets to BCI himself.

My daughter and I both took the pistol class as well. It was awesome!! From someone who has never handled a firearm I appreciated all the hands-on stuff taught in this class. The instructor is amazing both in the classroom and at the range. We got some good shots to pass our test. I would highly recommend this class!!

"I absolutely loved the class very educational not just on the laws but when it is truly safe for you to draw your gun, He was very prepared for any question and used great examples during his course. I loved when I walked in he had prop guns and targets for practice he also encouraged people to engaged and practice if they were interested. I would definitely encourage anyone to go see him"

"Awesome instructor that answered all questions with great information. Very hands on with pistol safety and education. Would recommend to anyone"

Very informative and a great instructor. All of our classes have been smaller which meant more one on one interaction. If you are interested in getting your concealed carry permit this is where you want to start. Once you finish this I highly recommend signing up for one of the NRA Firearms Classes.

"Good class covering Concealed Carry. Information was presented very well. Instructor is very knowledgeable and thorough. Props were very good as well as demonstrations on how to carry."

I am a 25 year retired Deputy Sheriff. I have also attended several CCW classes over the years with family and friends... Phil Snyders class was one of the most informative and complete classes I've attended... I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their CCW Permit.
