Mr. Walt was an amazing instructor!! Very clear, concise, organized, and knowledgeable. I attended at least 3 of his trainings, and he was extremely patient and helpful. From firearm knowledge, to the laws of the state, and what we as security officers are required and allowed to do, verse, what we think we are allowed and required to do. I recommend him for anyone looking to become more well rounded in security and safety.
Thank you sir,

Thank you, Walt! We truly appreciate your kind feedback and are thrilled you found the training informative and valuable. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Took my level 3 yesterday (8/8/25) with Walt. The class says 10 hours but it didn’t feel like it. This wasn’t just a “You completed this class for level 3, here you go” kind of thing. Walt takes the time to teach you things that are crucial & very important to be successful. This is more than just a level 3 class. This is a valuable learning experience. Getting this opportunity was a blessing! Thank you Walt for what you do & the heart you have to teach. I will be coming back to continue my learning with Walt.

I took the shooting portion of my Texas CHL with Walt from Train Protect Defend... was a wonderful experience.
Highly recommend him; in fact I plan to attend more of his courses, and am encouraging my wife to as well.

Thank you, Bart! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with Walt. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you and your wife to future courses!
I am so glad I found this service and instructor. I searched diligently to find an introductory gun course to start my journey. Walt is by far the best trainer I have met. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and patient. It’s clear that his work is more than just a job, it's a calling. He has helped me approach learning how to defend myself and my family differently with additional exposure and answering my concerns. I love that his business motto and method of dealing with clients are inspired by his faith. I appreciate being able to trust the instructions that I am given in class because of the professionalism and genuine care he provides. The private instruction sessions are worth every penny and the online class is extremely valuable. I learned so much at my first session that I bought a package. I also like that Walt asks you what your end goal is day one so he can customize your sessions to help you get to where you want to be. Whether you've never picked up a gun or have lots of experience, you can benefit from Walt's expertise. He's definitely the real dea. Try this service out!
