Excellent combat training in Walker near Baton Rouge. The gun shop was well equipped too. The staff was very knowledgeable about all kinds of guns, rifles, supplies, and maintenance. We met David at the gun shop to buy the appropriate ammunition and drove to the range. He taught us a lot about holding each individual gun. Lots of time to practice. He was never in a rush. He even helped us with ear protection. We learned a lot about emergency situations and how to treat our guns respectfully for everyone’s safety. I feel a lot more confident after the training.
Great class! Very informative and instructors are very intelligent and are easy to work with as far as helping you understand the laws and the do’s and don't’s of today’s world! Highly recommend!
David Groce’s Safety Class for Minors is exceptional. As a parent, you’re always hoping for a class that does more than just “check a box.” This one did exactly that—and more. David has a rare ability to connect with kids in a way that feels engaging, empowering, and age-appropriate, without fear or intimidation. The information was clear, practical, and delivered with a calm confidence that made my son feel safe while still taking the material seriously. What stood out most to me was my son’s response afterward. His immediate reaction was simply: “Show me more.” That says everything. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or scared, he felt curious, confident, and eager to learn. He walked away with real tools, better awareness, and a stronger sense of self—not anxiety. David doesn’t just teach safety. He builds confidence, awareness, and discernment in young people. I cannot recommend this class highly enough for parents who want their children to be prepared, informed, and empowered in today’s world. This is education that truly matters—and it stays with them. Highly, highly recommend!

What’s the difference between permitted carry and constitutional carry in Louisiana?▼
In Louisiana, both constitutional carry and permitted carry allow law-abiding individuals to carry a concealed firearm — but there are important differences.
Constitutional Carry (Permitless Carry): This allows eligible adults (typically 18+ who can legally possess a firearm) to carry a concealed handgun without needing a permit or formal training. While this makes carrying more accessible, it also comes with limitations — especially when it comes to where you can legally carry.
Permitted Carry (Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit – CHP): This requires completing a state-approved training course, submitting fingerprints, and passing a background check. While it takes more effort upfront, it provides several key advantages:
- More places you can legally carry (including certain areas restricted under constitutional carry)
- Reciprocity with other states that recognize Louisiana permits
- Stronger legal protection, such as exemptions to federal school zone restrictions
- Professional training on firearm safety, laws, and real-world scenarios
Bottom line: Just because you can carry without a permit doesn’t always mean you should. A Louisiana CHP offers more freedom, better legal coverage, and the confidence that comes with proper training.
