The CCW course is EXCELLENT. After 9/11 I decided I needed some home protection. Figured if I was going to have a gun in the house I'd better brush up on my shooting skills and go ahead to get the CCW. Did a lot of research and got a Glock 27 9mm. I hope I never have to use it. That's a lot better than having to use it and not having it available! -- Joanna
