This is the CPL class people drive hours to take. Will Luker is an active law enforcement officer whose legal curriculum is so thorough that attorneys, judges, and cops take it themselves and send their families. The range experience lets you shoot 14 or more pistols back to back, lunch is on us, and you will actually enjoy the day. One class. No shortcuts. Nothing else like it in Michigan.

I bring a lifetime of firearm and law enforcement experience to every class.
Attending the full day CPL class at US Gun Classes was an exceptional experience for both myself and my girlfriend. As someone with limited firearm experience, my nerves were gradually put at ease throughout the entire session. The one-on-one training provided was invaluable, I felt really comfortable handling a real firearm for the first time. The pace of the class was perfect, and the instructors, Will and Dan, were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. The full range experience was a highlight, allowing us to try out various pistols and unique firearms to find the perfect firearm that met our needs and comfort. I left the class feeling more confident and with a clear idea of what I want for my first gun purchase. I highly recommend this class to anyone in Michigan, regardless of experience level!
Great course. My father and I took the course yesterday with Will Luker. It was very comprehensive. We are both veterans and have had a fair amount of experience with firearms but we still learned alot about concealed carry, use of force laws, and defensive pistol marksmanship. Will was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The 8 hour course flew by and we had a great time at the range. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in obtaining a CPL.
I recently took the CPL class with Will Luker and I was very impressed. He was incredibly knowledgeable on all the topics covered and is a great teacher that is patient with all the students. The passion that he has for gun rights comes through very clear and because of this his teaching style is enthusiastic and energetic. With at least 8 hours of class it make a huge difference! I have very little shooting experience and he made me feel comfortable and not like an idiot while shooting. I was so pleased with the class that I have already suggested it to several family and friends.
