Took the Basic and Enhanced Combo CHCL course and it was amazing. Mr. Lee is concise, knowledgeable, and ensures each student understands the course. The pre work is important and helped me feel more prepared the day of class. I plan on taking a number of other courses he offers and am excited to gain more knowledge and training.

I left with a lot more knowledge than I came with. There is a lot more to concealed carry than just shooting a gun! I would strongly recommend this class to everyone!

Best CCW Firearms class I have ever taken. Logan was serious, Honest made you think and prove you could shoot in a comprised way. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a real class and instruction based in fact.

Just wrapped up the basic and enhanced CCW class, and wow, what an experience! The instructor was fantastic – instead of just lecturing, they really facilitated a conversation, diving deep into not just the 'how' but also the critical 'what if the worst happens' scenarios. That kind of practical, thoughtful approach isn't something you always get, and it made all the difference. 10/10

I had the opportunity to train with Logan Lee Jr., the owner of 141 Protection and Training, for both my Concealed Carry course and the Advanced Concealed Carry course, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded my expectations.

Logan is an extremely knowledgeable instructor who takes the time to ensure every student truly understands the principles of firearm safety, responsibility, and real world application. His teaching style is clear, patient, and professional, which made the learning environment both comfortable and highly effective.

What stood out most was his emphasis on situational awareness, proper decision making, and responsible gun ownership. The training was not just about shooting. It was about understanding the law, protecting yourself and others, and developing the mindset required to carry responsibly.

During the Advanced Concealed Carry training, Logan pushed us to think critically and apply what we learned in practical scenarios. That level of instruction really helped build confidence and sharpen skills that every responsible firearm owner should have.

If you are looking for a professional, thorough, and real world firearms training experience, I highly recommend 141 Protection and Training and instructor Logan Lee Jr. Whether you are new to firearms or looking to advance your skills, you will be in great hands.

I had an exceptional experience at 141 Shooting Range with instructor Logan. His concealed carry and firearms safety/defense training was top-notch—clear, hands-on, and empowering. Logan excelled in covering not just weapon handling but also critical aftermath preparation: legal steps, emotional impacts, and de-escalation strategies post-confrontation. Highly recommend for anyone serious about responsible self-defense! 5 stars.

Very knowledgeable During class, Logan made sure that we all understood the importance of gun safety as well as having a first aid kit, ready at the helm. For those who have never shot an AR – 15 such as myself It is a different experience than shooting an ordinary Rifle. He taught us the proper stance and different techniques to use with this gun.
Out on the shooting range, he took us through drills and made sure that the techniques we went through in class for safety was practiced. Logan went the extra mile To make sure we knew how to shoot properly and if we had a problem, he was right there to help. I really appreciated The time he took with me As I am left-handed and was using a right handed gun, and believe me that is no easy task. But I loved shooting the targets and look forward to doing lots of target practice.
They are very professional and I recommend them Highly

We searched for a class to do with my two youngest boys that involved the AR 15. While we have several, we didn’t really understand this ar platform. We hit the jackpot with this team. First off: we received a warm welcome and accommodating response from Angela and a follow up email detailing the class. While there were no scheduled class, both Angela and Logan jumped to action to make this happen for my family. This was a gift for christmas. While there were a few sites that fell through for the range, Logan was and is a problem solver and a very good communicator. Class was interactive and informative. Logan was patient and accommodating to every level of the student that attended. Range time was a blast!!! Lots of hands on learning especially when we had function issues with our gear (mostly user error on my part)…Logan even allowed us to use his personal items when our ARs failed in some area. That is unheard of in this industry and Logan did not have to allow a student to operate his equipment. We took away an experience that not only generated 3 hrs of excited conversation home but a foundation in which to build a solid discipline of the AR 15 for a lifetime. My kids are trying to “work me” for another class with Logan and his family. I am certain that we will be back again. Thank you to all the guys on the range that accommodated our family but also to the Lee family that made a memory for us. The Atkinsons

It was amazing how he didn’t hesitate to take more time to go more in-depth on showing us stuff that we did not fully understand and he waited until we fully understood it

I learned about how to change your mindset to be data oriented in the decisions you make with concealed carry. Know why you are choosing your gun, holster, how much ammo to carry. Logan taught us to make informed decisions with these details based on data. I would highly recommend Logan Lee and 141 Shooting Range

Tom Hardcastle

Logan was a no holds barred instructor that presented the material in way that was easy to remember. I had a high school history teacher that made his students memorize all of the presidents. Knowing them got me out of guard duty in Basic Training. If you don't know at the 1st five amendments in our Bill of Rights, might want to brush up. Just a hint, he's going to ask if you know them...I would recommend this class to any and everyone who wants to earn their enhanced concealed and carry, even if you have already completed the training somewhere else, it's worth the time. Thanks Logan!

Danny Bonsack

22:39 07 Sep 25

Detailed class teaching the important things starting all the way at the beginning with your bill of rights. Know these before taking the class. I thought I knew them better but you forget what you don't practice. Best class you'll ever take!

couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, the course was informative, well-structured, and professionally delivered.

The instructor was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. They provided clear explanations of state laws, firearm safety, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a concealed weapon. What really stood out was how they emphasized real-world scenarios and decision-making, not just the legal and technical aspects. It made the material feel practical and relevant.

The hands-on portion of the class was equally well-run. Safety was always the top priority, and the instructor made sure everyone was comfortable and confident before moving forward. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with firearms experience, the class was tailored in a way that met everyone’s needs.

By the end of the course, I felt both educated and empowered. I walked away with a solid understanding of not just how to carry legally, but how to do so responsibly.

Just had the opportunity to complete my enhanced concealed carry class at 141 Shooting Range. Logan provided a very thorough explanation of many different situations and scenarios during our class. He was very professional, and made you think about things more than just shooting your weapon. I was very impressed with his approach to teaching our class.

Logan did a great job showing a different prospective that isn't often considered in concealed carry situations. Very informative class and I will be signing up for other classes here in the future.

A great line up of classes. The 10x class was awesome. I highly recommend this line up of classes for everyone. As a veteran I still learned from taking this class. It doesn't matter how much you practice you can not practice enough. If you are not practicing right you are setting yourself up for failure. I learned shooting positions in the defensive handgun class that I haven't seen before and will be using while practicing in the future. I will definitely be looking into future classes for more extensive training. Thank you Logan for putting this together and definitely enjoyed be there and would recommend anyone that has a child to take the 10x class line up.

I took a basic firearm training class with Logan, and it was an excellent experience! Logan is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in his teaching. He made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the course, taking the time to answer all my questions. I learned so much during the session and gained valuable skills that I can’t wait to build on. I’m already looking forward to taking more classes with him in the future. Highly recommend Logan for anyone looking to start or improve their firearm training!

Logan is the best instructor ever!!! He treated me like his own daughter, and made sure I felt comfortable during the basic/enhanced course and my exam. He also offers other courses that I will be pursuing as well. He gives you way more information than a typical state course. One thing that stood out to me was that he made sure that we understood everything and i will emphasize this again comfortable and confident. You can tell he is passionate about firearm safety, and you wont find too many instructors like this. Thank you again Logan i look forward to my next class!!!

I signed up for my concealed carry license with 141 over 10 years ago and have gone back for my renewals every 5 years since then. Mr. Lee is very thorough, explains things concisely, and answers any and all questions attendees ask. I attended an enhanced training for my renewal during this last session and he assisted me with online course materials I needed before doing the in person class and training and told me when to arrive to do my renewal.

If you sign up for a class, be sure to read everything you need and prepare yourself for the class before you actually attend. I had a few people in my class show up unprepared and because they were unprepared it slowed everybody else down, that's not the fault of the range or the owner but the people that signed up. Be prepared and pay attention, you will learn and gain some valuable information. Great experience getting my license and going through the renewals. Would recommend.

Logan knows his stuff you will leave the 141 Shooting range with a lot more knowledge than you had when you arrived I guarantee you that for sure. His concealed carry class was wonderful and he can also teach other types of classes. I’m really impressed by his skills as an instructor. Very nice facility as well. Thank you Logan we
Appreciate you.

Coming into this class I thought I knew every step to properly save a life,after listening I notice I didn't know everything and he took his time and showed us how to properly do EVERY STEP..He was real easy to listen too and kept it interesting instead of boring so he had the class attention.I can honestly say I walked in hardly knowing anything and walked out feeling good and very confident if I was to ever be in a position to save someone's life...I highly recommend him!

Kimberly Smith

01:12 27 Mar 24

While taking this course I learned the correct way to save the life of someone else. I’ve been in the situation of using CPR on a loved one. I didn’t know then what I know now! This class has made me realize that my safety is also important during the process. I also learned the importance of using my senses during the process! Would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn the proper technique of CPR!

Logan was an amazing instructor, his experiences and professions have been very helpful for him to teach his students to the best they can be. He made sure that we all had participated in questioning and actually practicing the CPR care, along with learning the AED. He informed us that we would all be better if we were focused on smells and sounds rather than just relying on sight and that can keep others and our selves protected. Overall he made sure that we were open and got things wrong, to practice what was correct and better ourselves to help someone in need in the future. I made a new friend in this class as well and have thought and recommended others to learn from Logan. Hope that he keeps up the amazing work and support to help others better themselves.

Logan came out to our dental office for training on medical emergencies. He was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and he made it easy to understand. I would recommend him 100%. Hoping to take his CPR class soon also!

Sharmarie Burdin

22:58 26 Feb 24

I’ve taken CPR classes since 2013 when I first received my CNA certification. In all those years I feel I have received inadequate training for CPR. Today I feel that I was given all the tools to properly give the best care and keep myself safe. That adequate care only comes when we are able to use are sense and have the knowledge, skills and training to be fully prepared for giving the best help to the person in need. Mr. Lee is passionate and knowledgeable about his knowledge and skills and teaches to not only be in a medical setting but a world setting to be able to provide the care needed whatever the situation may be.

Krystal Walker

00:08 14 Feb 24

Really recommend Logan for CPR training. His teaching is professional and easy to understand. His way of making you think about every day life and what your surroundings are to make yourself safe before taking care of others. The practice on the dummies was an eye opener for me not realizing how hard and fast the compressions have to be.
