I attended the South Shore Gun Training MA LTC basic firearms class a month ago. The instructor, Tom Weitbrecht, was a FANTASTIC teacher for my first introduction to firearms training. The class was easy going, welcoming, and I feel prepared for my first foray into becoming a responsible gun owner. I would highly recommend this course because Tom is both friendly and super knowledgeable! 10/10

Tom is a great instructor and very knowledgeable. He gives a lot of info not just on safety but on gun laws so you are very well aware of what you are allowed to do or not do. The laws are very confusing and he does a great job explaining them. I’d give him ten stars if I could.
