Great facility and wonderful people, a perfect place for new gun owners to learn about their weapons and enjoy their first shoot. Range time is readily available and very reasonably priced. They do all sorts of fun events, their classes are excellent for those new to firearms, and the shop has great prices on ammo, guns, and gear. You couldnt do better if youre looking for a friendly crew to help you learn about firearms and improve your skills!
Me and my husband were looking to get our concealed carry license. We just googled concealed carry in Cape and Firearms Training By John was one of the first companies, looked at reviews and looked at the different options on his website and it was a perfect fit. We did the online course and then went in for the shoot requirement, very convenient and simple. Nice family owned business and affordable. I would recommended to anyone trying to get there concealed license.
I was in town on vacation looking for something to do and thought it would be fun to rent a gun and test my skills at the range. I stopped by firearms training and had a great time. John and his son Jacob were very helpful and accommodating. I rented a glock 19 which has a nice kick to it but won’t hurt your wrist or anything. If your looking for something to do definitely stop by.
This is by far one of the best firearms places my husband and I have been to. We are from up north where the gun laws are very strict. We searched for months and decided we wanted to support a small local business. After searching and reading reviews for months, we chose this location. The moment you walk in you are greeted by John and his family. They are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I personally have never shot a gun before and to be honest I was a nervous reck. Once I met Heidi all of my worries we’re gone. She has this amazing energy that genuinely shows she is there to help you. We also had to the pleasure of meeting their son Jacob who was also extremely kind and helpful. And then there’s John who is truly the nicest guy with a great personality. Our visit here was far more than we expected. Although this was our first time here. We felt like we’ve known them for a long time and felt like we were a part of their family. Thank you John, Heidi and Jacob for making our visit here AMAZING!!! 🙌 We will certainly be back for sure!
John is amazing! I took the private CCW class and he had me laughing throughout the whole thing while still being very informative. He answered any questions that I had. Now I see why his place has a 5 star rating on google. Very much deserved.
Took a private CCW class. Very knowledgeable and informative. My instructor made the appointment for me with the state and answered every question I had.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all your firearm needs. VERY happy with my experience today.
I kept searching for ten stars, but couldnt find them. Disappointed that I can only give John five stars, he and his family-run business deserve more! Took the training/refresh course coupled with the concealed carry class and was impressed. John took his time, frequently interrupted his training to ask if I had any questions, and thoroughly explained all aspects until I confirmed I understood. That, coupled with a strategic sense of humor, will keep my family and me as repeat customers. He’s extremely knowledgeable and as he said, when I signed up for his class, I became part of his family... and I certainly felt that way. Cant wait to return... kudos, John! Highly recommended…
Thank you Mr John for being so kind, professional, thorough, easy to talk to, patience. We had a great time. It doesn’t matter what age you are Mr.John Johnson is the the best class ever. We definitely recommend John Johnson Firearms Thank You again
My wife and took John’s “Try before you buy” private class. This gentleman is clearly a highly skilled and professional firearms trainer. We truly enjoyed training with John. Hands down, he is a wonderful person, he will make you feel right at home!!! I cannot recommend his services enough. Top notch!! Check out his business you will NOT be disappointed!!!! Thank you John!
Wonderful experience with the online ccw class. Very informative. The shot requirement completed in store was fast and easy John was very friendly. Absolutely reccomend to anyone especially females looking to get their ccw course requirement
Ive taken the conceal carry, weapon class in preparation for my permit. John was professional, helpful with focus on me as a novice. I opted in for the Try before you buy program so that I can practice and get comfortable with the gun that Id own moving forward. Feeling confident, highly recommended to anyone to work with a great instructor.
Great CCW class! It was quick and informational. The range time was excellent because despite being my first time using a gun, John was super helpful and encouraging the whole time! Definitely recommend for beginners and even those more skilled. My boyfriend got some pointers that completely changed the way he shoots and improved his accuracy within minutes. What a great experience! I recommend everyone come here regardless of your background or experience!
It was an awsome experience for my daughter and I. We tried the try before you buy great option to find the right gun for you. John the instructor is very knowledgeable and explained everything and for both of to understand. Definitely has customers for life.
Absolutely great experience for a beginner such as myself! John is very knowledge including his staff! Made you feel 110% confident in handling a weapon! Very reasonable and personal service. All around first class experience! Would recommend to any and all!
John and Heidi made our group concealed carry class both fun and educational. I felt comfortable and appreciated the knowledge and care that John gave to ensure we understood the information. Highly recommended Firearms Training by John Johnson!
Johns video trainings are spot on. You get exactly what you need to understand the course and the timings of the video are excellent. As a trainer I felt this course gives students exactly what they need in chunks that fit and make sense. I would recommend Johns class to any one.
My wife and I took John’s basic pistol class and it was a great experience. I grew up around firearms, but it had been a number of years since I had shot so I went in with an open mind and John was great! Learned a lot and he worked very well with my wife. It was a very comfortable environment for the two of us to learn in.
I attended the concealed carry class tonight, and Im very thankful I did! The family who owns this business is very professional and very insightful. John even worked with me privately after the class for a few minutes when I had questions and wanted to learn more. If you’re looking for a great local business, youll find it here!
We had a great time. Wife and child had never shot pistols. They were well taken care of. I will return.
Took my adult children to his CCW class. All of them enjoyed the class and are better prepared to protect themselves due to his expertise. Highly recommend his training as well as the range. If you are looking for a gun hell help you find the right one.
I used the virtual training class. Easy to do. Very intuitive. Did on my time when convenient.Nice to be able go back and repeat what you might not have heard clearly or didnt understand. A lot packed into 60 minutes.
Excellent training and service. Reasonable and friendly. I would definitely go back.
I took concealed and carry class with pistol training and truly valued my time with John! He educated me on the Florida State Gun laws, and then we had some time in the range. His techniques and instructions were easy to follow and had me hitting my target completely on point by the end of the session. The beginning of the session... 🤦🏻♀️ I think I was aiming for the ceiling! But John straightened me out and had me leaving like Angelina Jolie! 🤩 Thank you John! You are amazing!
Would recommend to anyone looking to get their CCW or just to go shoot in the range! John was awesome and is very knowledgeable. Will be coming back again for sure !!
I took the concealed carry class last night and it was great. John was very informative and took time to make sure all were educated. Great little shop up front. I signed up for another class to try out some of the guns he has on display.
A friend and I took the private Concealed Carry class and were not disappointed. The store and range have a small business atmosphere not busy and crowded like some of the others. He gave us his full undivided attention. John is friendly and informative. I would recommend Firearms Training by John G. Johnson, especially to anyone new to handling guns!
This was the best experience for my twin boys (9 years old). They had a great time learning how to handle and shoot a .22 rifle. I would definitely recommend bringing your child here to learn.
Really enjoyed my CCW and Basic Pistol Training today given by John Johnson. Very thorough. John enjoys sharing his knowledge and is very personable. I would highly recommend him and his facility for basic and more advanced training!
WOW! First time being properly introduced to firearms—this was such a great experience for my partner and I. We learned gun safety and how to handle firearms and got to shoot 3 different models. John and his son were very friendly and easy to talk to and most importantly, easy to learn from. John is very serious about proper technique and safety and is knowledgeable enough to teach a seasoned gun owner and thing or two while still being humble and patient enough to teach kids ans newbies. Highly recommend!
Recently took a class with John and it was the best firearms training. Very informative, thorough and fun. 👍👍👍👍👍
When I first entered this place I had no clue on how to use a firearm let alone hold one properly. John knew how nervous I was but still taught me how to be confident and to shoot correctly with confidence. I would highly recommend this place for first time shooters and anyone wanting to have an awesome time. John is the MAN!!
Highly Recommend. Been wanting to take the course for years. A friend and I took it together. John was great. Friendly, down to earth and very knowledgeable. Walked us through the process and was a great instructor. Definitely recommend Firearms Training by John..
I had a basic training and conceal class yesterday; as someone who is new to guns, I highly recommend John G Johnson as an instructor and trainer. He is patient (which is the type of instructor I need), the private lesson training times works great for me and he is great at building your confidence with the tool(gun) as well as layering on the safety and proper use/form. I recommend this Gun Range especially for newbies.
The online class for the CCW is EXCELLENT!! The presenter did an excellent job of explaining . I felt like j was physically in the class.
Just had my CCW class with John today, I would highly recommend John for any of your firearm needs. John has a great attitude and made me feel very comfortable during the class.
This place was awesome!! As a woman who never handled a gun I felt very comfortable and learned so much from John! Look forward to take classes and using his gun range! Awesome place!!
I would highly recommend Firearms training by John. I initially connected with this company to do my CCW training. I have completed training, purchased a firearm and use the range to improve my shot! John is awesome and makes sure you have what you need. I would highly recommend for all, but especially for women!
Did a couples class and it was phenomenal. John taught the class and gave us soooo much more information. I thought i knew a lot, I certainly did not. Were walking away educated and informed!! He speaks on your level of understanding and had no issues explaining things more in detail....without making either of us feel dumb! I cant say enough about this class. Were both going back for some additional training and will absolutely use his range and everything they have to offer! I highly recommend this - from beginners to advanced! John and Team are absolutely wonderful :)
Just took CCW training with John who was personable and extremely informative. I would recommend using him.
Just took a CCW class here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. John was very knowledgeable about gun laws and gun safety. He is an excellent instructor. I would recommend him to anyone that is interested in learning about firearms. I will definitely be back again.
Big help and very informative . Learned a lot about the when and why you would need to utilize a conceled weapon as well as rules behind using it . The one on one course made it a better environment to really learn in a comfortable setting and easier to retain . Thanks again for the help
What a great experience. John was awesome and made me feel very comfortable, threw in a few tips as well. From what I noticed, prices on firearms are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend stopping here. Just give em a call.
My fiancé and I took the couple’s firearms training and concealed carry course. John is a great instructor who makes sure you are confident in yourself and in the handling of your firearm. You will leave here feeling as though you have gained an extension to your family and will want to come back again very soon, just like we plan to do!
Wow that online training was informational and quick and then quick trip to the shop for shot test and done! Thx John!
Wonderful experience. John was patient and made you feel comfortable. Would highly recommend for any training.
One on one training was exactly what I was looking for. John made me feel very comfortable and able to move past my nervousness. Would highly recommend him. Nice, funny, honest guy as well
For someone extremely intimidated by guns, John was the perfect instructor! He covered gun safety, types of guns and ammo. Best of all, I got to try different pistols in range setting and it was fun as well as educational. Highly recommend private training with John!!! Bought my first gun from John!
I had my firearms training class with John today. He was great. John was professional and knowledgeable and really quite funny. I will definitely return to his place of business and refer him to my friends and family.
John does an awesome job explaining the dos and donts of firearm safety for CCW. Clear and concise. Well worth the money for his knowledge on all things CCW.
Great CCW class!! Great info. John makes it interesting, informative, and fun! Certainly feel like family now. Cant wait for range time!
I took the virtual online CCW class this passed Thursday. In the class John the instructor was very friendly and professional. He made the class very fun and not boring at all. Me and my boyfriend were able to take the virtual class together. Signing up for the class is very easy and fast. After We we’re able to set up an appointment through text and John responded quickly. He showed me how to easily rack a 9mm and how to stay on target while shooting. Very cool and positive guy! GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE!! Definitely coming back to take the one on one training class and looking forward to bringing my 8 year old !!
My new gun store.. period! Was introduced to John and his establishment about 3 weeks ago and Ive been pleased to say the least.. Ive bought a rifle and a carry conceal firearm from John and I cant be happier with both my purchases,I also took his firearms class for carry. Best prices by far.. dont go online and try to find better.. Its right here. And there is a range to try out your firearm even before you buy... Its all here.. ammo, scopes, sights, safes,holsters, targets, pistols, rifles. Thank you John and Im sure Ill be seeing you.
Family owned and operated. John and his son was helpful and amazing! Set my appointment up with Lee County to apply for my permit. I will be definitely going back
I took the CCW class and I must tell you, John will educate you but will also make you laugh. I would highly recommend this establishment, family owned and top notch service!
Went in for my CCW class it was very informative, John was great answered all my questions, Would recommend this business I will be back
I am as novice as they come to firearms and John is literally the best! My husband and I took his Concealed Carry class first, then took the Try Before You Buy course. We were able to book both classes on the website, which is a breeze to navigate and find the information/class you are looking for. As for John, he is an exceptional instructor and meets you where you are in terms of comfort level, confidence, and experience with firearms. He has taught us so much in just two classes and has gotten me so much more comfortable with owning/carrying. The Try Before You Buy class is an absolute must before purchasing a firearm; the two pistols I thought I would love were definitely not my favorite when trying them out. After this class, we both purchased firearms from John with confidence. I can’t say enough about how fantastic they are and we will be using them exclusively for range time and future purchases.
Great instructor, made class fun and interesting.Makes you think!!
Had such a great and informative concealed carry class here I would highly recommend John G. Johnson he makes it very easy to understand and gets to the point plus he is a great guy.
Being brand new to firearms I was very happy with the training I received from John . Took the try before buy lesson and was great . John was easy to talk to and explained things in a way that anyone could understand.Would recommend him to anyone had an excellent time .
John is a great instructor. I had never handled a gun before. He was very patient and encouraging. The best thing was the on-site range. I was able to get a feel of the gun before I purchased one (on-site as well). Furthermore, when the gun is received, I will be able to pick it up and try it out on-site. The entire process is seamless from the purchase, to the paperwork involved, training classes, range time, etc. I highly recommend this business!!!!
I signed up for the virtual class online and he had a really good sense of humor all while showing and describing rules and regulations of Florida gun laws and other states as well. John is a great instructor he showed me how to keep my shots centered and on target. Very friendly and professional environment!! Highly recommend for anyone who’s looking to get their CCW and get practice to definitely call him.
Met John for the first time tonight. He was great, it’s been about 4 yrs since I’ve been to the range and I wanted a refresher on gun safety and handling practices. He was very knowledgeable and he has great communication skills. My wife and I booked time at the range again next week. I would highly recommend John and his services.
Without a doubt, the virtual CCW zoom class conducted by Mr. John Johnson himself is the way to get your Conceal Carry certificate/permit. Convenience, price/value (just $45.00), and a knowledgeable and caring fellow is John. I highly recommend this first step class toward obtaining your CCW license. Buzz R.
John is very professional. Went with my wife to get our cc certificates and very pleased at how he made my wife feel confident in the lane highly recommended this business
Took the Virtual CCW class with John to maintain our Social Distances and the next day came to the Range for my shot test. The class was pretty straight forward with a lot of common sense actions as it relates to gun handling. We also discussed some the legal aspects of ownership and what to expect and how to handle yourself when pulled over or approached by Law Enforcement. The Range time was fun and enjoyable. John gave me a quick tip on sighting and I ran 5 straight through the Bullseye. You will benefit with time spent with John.
I had a great time with John! He was extremely knowledgeable and I learned quite a bit about firearms. Family owned and operated which made a very comfortable setting. They even set an appointment with Lee County to apply for my permit!!!! I would highly recommend Firearms Training by John Johnson to anyone and everyone. I will definitely be going back myself for more training!!
John is an excellent instructor — his sense of humor really helps! His safety instruction is thorough, and he creates an environment where it’s easy to ask questions.
Highly recommend great family business and personal service
Good, quick class. Gives you all the info you need. Super easy, highly recommend!
Completed the basic pistol class with my daughter. John is an excellent teacher; professional, skilled, but with humor as well. I learned a lot. The classes, ammunition, and range time are the best value in Lee County.
We took the couples training. Excellent one on one training with the spouse observing and then switching places. That approach allows you to hear many things twice and we needed that!
Took a CCW class and made it educational and enjoyable, didn’t feel like it was dragging. Definitely highly recommend.
My husband and I took his Conceal Carry class and John did a great job. He made both of us feel welcome, comfortable and encouraged. He took the time we needed to answer our questions and helped us get familiar with our guns too. We highly recommend him. Personally, for me as a woman, I much preferred this smaller family run venue than a big range with many people.
My husband and I just did the couples firearm course...and after reading the previous reviews, John is amazing at his profession, As I am not the only one whose never handled a gun before let alone my fear of them...John was very patient, informative, and encouraging...Thank you so much for that!! We made a purchase and are scheduled to return.....
Took the couples basic pistol class andconceled carry the instructor was great jon gave me some good pointers but really worked with my wifeNe guys with girls are afraid of gun this is the place to take them
We were looking for gun training classes and group trainings are just not my thing. I much prefer the individual time with an instructor - and being a novice, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. But when I saw that we could book a couples lesson, I was so excited. We booked right online thru the website and it was a breeze. We received great instruction, everyone was so nice and helpful and the ammo prices were great as well. We will definitely be back to practice at the range.
Completed my training there and John was great. Very knowledgeable and runs a safe shop. You need to go there for your CCW certs or other needs. Ill be back to purchase accessories and support when I can.
I was interested in obtaining a weapon for home defense as well as training. After researching online, I was impressed with all of the positive reviews with John G Johnson, so I reached out and John set me up with a private Try Before You Buy Training. It was really great to be able to try out 5 different models and really get the feel and decide which weapon would work best for me. I went into the training with no knowledge and came out feeling much more knowledgeable and comfortable handling a handgun and looking forward to further training. John is such a good teacher, with a comfortable and professional training style and made learning very enjoyable. We are bringing my daughter for training next week as well as completing the virtual Concealed Carry Class this Thursday. We are looking forward to honing our skills at the range and having more training with John.
I did the combo class and range training and it was well worth the money. I was not familiar with guns and John took his time, and explained all I needed to know. Great guy, he and his wife made me feel at home, I would highly recommend this training if you are thinking about getting a gun. I went from knowing very little about guns to being confident in handling one. Nice range also, I will be back and I plan to bring my daughter next time. Thank you John, I truly appreciate your service.
John was an outstanding instructor. Very knowledgeable and made the experience fun and safe. I highly recommend going with John for your firearm training and range needs. Great family run business.
Excellent instructor, presentation was easy to follow and all questions answered.
I had a class today with John. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and I did his try before you buy class. We shot 5 different types of pistols to see what we liked and were comfortable with. John went over each pistol with us. He let us know the differences and price points so that we knew exactly what we were looking at. He worked one on one with us. You can tell its his passion. Well worth the time and money!
We had an amazing time taking the ccw class with John, we learned the ins and outs of Florida law and basic safety techniques. John was great he answered all of our questions and took his time teaching us in the class room and on the range. He was also willing to work with our hectic schedules and do a class at a time he does not typically offer. If your looking to get a your ccw or just want a training class to improve your shooting would absolutely recommend checking out Firearms Training by John G Johnson.
Joy joy, what a “ fun “ experience! Less intimidating than the other places. Very safety conscious, but very comfortable atmosphere. John is A fantastic teacher and an easy guy. I really appreciated his time. Thanks!!! I highly recommend this place!!! Thanks John,Jae
Booked a CCW and weapon handling combo course with John. Training was top notch. He taught me some tips on better aiming and holding of the firearm that I have never seen before. John provides very clear, concise instructions; with a calm, easy manner throughout. He takes it seriously, but is friendly and helpful. Having a private range is a huge plus. You can also book to use the range ahead of time, which is a nice convenience. If you want to learn right, and are serious about learning how to use a firearm, then I strongly recommend you try John Johnson!
My wife and I were interested in obtaining a defensive weapon and training to go along with this. We were driving by and decided to stop in for a few minutes to get some information from John. Well after about 2 hours there, John graciously talked to us discussed our needs and actually let us try a few hand guns on his range. He made us feel so comfortable with his hands on introduction and his very comfortable training style that we decided to buy a hand gun and set up training and conceal and carry classes. The training using the gun we now own was wonderful and he made my wife feel very comfortable using the weapon and taught me many important thing that I needed to know to safely handle a firearm. We took the virtual conceal carry on line with John and now just have to complete a short hands on competency session to get our certificate that allows us to get the official Florida CC permit.John has been wonderful during this whole time and I love the idea of supporting a local small business. 10 Starts if I could rate it that high.
Excellent class, convenient and easy to signup/register. Thank You
We just completed a class with John. He is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and relatable. He promotes a professional but comfortable atmosphere, so we had a great time and learned a lot.! Thanks John, well be back!
Highly recommended! We wanted our teenage son to feel confident around our carry weapons. John worked with him in a class and did a fantastic job.He also worked with me and the difference on my precision was fantastic.
Very informative class and me being a gun newbie, John was patient and helpful. Will definitely recommend!
John and his family are knowledgeable and make you feel safe while learning how to shoot. I took his Concealed Carry class, you can’t beat the price or experience!The indoor range is nice too. Everyone who walks in gets treated like family.I won’t go anywhere else!
Attended the personal CCW and was beyond expectations. It was super informative and engaging. I loved the fact that it was the owner. John is knowledgeable and gets straight to the point. The hands on learning was the best part. I was scared to use a firearm but he assured me that I would do well while following the proper guideline to handling a firearm. I am beyond ecstatic that I traveled an hour to be taught by an expert! Will be returning to train! Thank you so much!!
I found John online based on reviews, and Im so glad I did! As a first time gun owner with no experience I needed to find someone who could teach me the basics, and who could teach me to handle a gun with confidence - John is that person! Hes a natural teacher, who makes you feel comfortable from the start. If you need firearms instruction dont go anywhere else!
