Great experience with Mehar at Armed Defense LLC. He was an excellent examiner during my CCW qualification today and shared a lot of solid information. He really emphasized proper gripping, correct sight alignment, and building a strong, stable stance. All of which made a clear difference. He’s a highly skilled shooter and a genuinely good person. Looking forward to taking more classes with him. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience taking the red dot class at Armed Defense LLC. Mehar was very knowledgeable, patient, and made the class very interactive from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and gave plenty of hands-on practice that really helped build my confidence using a red dot optic.

Mehar and his team at Armed Defense put on a great class. Unlike many classes, he was able to make it entertaining while providing great education throughout the whole time. I went in confident with my skills and I left feeling completely revamped. I will be participating in more of his classes in the future and I would recommend him to anyone regardless of skill level.

Great instructor! I have already taken a few classes with armed defense and each time I have taken a course with Mr. Singh I have learned something new. I have gotten better at this never-ending training. I will continue to take classes with Armed Defense and I would suggest anyone who’s trying to get better at basic fundamentals or competition shooting and finding that red dot this is a great company for you to start with.

Great business to renew your CCW with, instructor was knowledgeable and took the time to help with some corrections to better my shooting on the range. If you’re looking to better yourself and not just check off a box would recommend 100%.
