Mane what can I say!!!!.......BSBV is one matter of fact is the only the best place to go to get your CCW license. I mean they breaks everything down to you all the rules and regulations. The training is amazing and you catch on fast to it. There is no other school doing it like this. They are very hands on to show you how is done. I'm glad I came to this school before they are very professional and always in order and anything that is not in order is out of order and I can say that BSBV is in order and doing a great job!!!!!!!
