Testimonials
Dan Starks is the most professional, ethical, and knowledgeable person I have ever met, in the Self-defense and Concealed Carry area. He educates his clients on the laws, realities, and the responsibility of carrying a handgun. Beyond that he provides a seasonal prospective on real world situations in which anyone may find themselves at any time.
I have had the good fortune to attend [his] CCH class twice, and enrolled all 3 of my daughters, and attended myself, in his Campus Safety Class.
The valuable knowledge that he generously provides is so relevant to today’s world, that I am so thankful to he and Connie, as well as his incredible crew of well-trained instructors for the proper instruction and training that they provide to their clients.
Do not hesitate to sign up for one of his courses. There is no better investment in your own safety and well-being.
I have been through 2 CCH classes with Dan, and he is THE EXPERT. I hope never to need his immediate help, he is clearly in my contact list for speed-dial, should I need his immediate attention.
I may even owe him my life because of a product he uses and recommended to me. A special type of pepper foam that absolutely stopped and repelled a 230 pound attacker. Thanks Dan!
Many thanks to my friend for recommending I take the class with my new friend Dan Starks and thank you to Dan, his wife Connie and their staff for a great day filled with valuable information, camaraderie and friendship. If you are considering taking this class, contact Dan.
As I related to you at the range, I feel very strongly about my family and my duty to protect them.
Most impressive is that Dan shares the passion of his heart in the telling of his experiences. He does not sugar coat the issue of crime with the real and often unnoticed threat to the everyday person. To some this may seem like a pessimistic view. The truth is that crime and our reaction to it may be the difference between life and death.
My wife and I count it an honor and a blessing to meet Dan Starks and his team. He truly cares for the rights of citizens to be able to defend themselves. We plan to tell everyone we know about Starks Training Institute. The cost is minimal in comparison to the power of the knowledge obtained.
Continued prosperity and excellent health Dan and Connie.
God Bless You.
Today I participated in your carry conceal class and I just wanted to let you know that your kindness was greatly appreciated.
You told me the story of the very wealthy lady that took your class and was so scared she hide in her car.
The circumstances that brought me to your class today are a little different. I grew up as the daughter of a career Army man, who retired after 32 years of service. Guns were always around.
On December 26, 2008 aftger learning the day before Christmas he had stage 4 bone cancer, my father woke up at 7:15 took his glock and shot himself in the head.
The only one in the family that could at the time, I ended up being the one that took care of his estate. I asked a Faetteville Detective that was a long time friend of the family to run all of the weapons to make sure they were clean. I told him he could keep all the guns but my fathers Baretta. I had not picked up a weapon since that day.
I’m not sure what made me sit down beside you while waiting my turn out of the range and I am not sure why you told me the story about the wealth lady that was scared, but I do know that each time I heard a round go off today I thought I was going to break down.
But for some reason having heard the funny story about the scared wealth lady and hearing you say that you told her that you were going to get her through it calmed me down.
Thank you for your genuine spirit, your kind nature and your empathy. You truly helped me face a demon that I did not even know I had until today. My fathers Baretta is being cleaned at Hyatt so I will be back on the range practicing.
Thank you for what you do and for who you are.
