I recently had the pleasure of taking a concealed carry class with Bryan from PDX Arsenal, and I can't recommend him enough. From start to finish, Bryan was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. His teaching style is clear and approachable, making even the most complex concepts easy to understand. He creates a relaxed atmosphere that helps build confidence, and his real-world insights add tremendous value to the training. Bryan took the time to answer every question thoroughly, and you could tell he genuinely cares about his students’ safety and success. Whether you're new to firearms or just need a refresher, Bryan is the instructor you want. Highly recommended!

“In the field of instructors we tend to take someone’s certification and experience with a grain of salt. PDX Arsenal stands out as one of the best in the Pacific Northwest.”

Testimonials

“I took the CHL safety course with Bryan and he did a phenomenal job explaining everything from laws, the application process, gun malfunctions, gun safety, and the list goes on. He makes the experience entertaining and educational which is super important for a multiple hour course. As a first time gun owner it was intimidating to go into a room filled with people more experienced than me, but Bryan made me feel extremely welcome and it was clear that I deserved a place there too! Bryan is a good person that does a wonderful job at running his company. He genuinely cares about his business and clients! 10/10.” -Christina DiRenzo (May, 2025)

“I went to Bryan Mumford for my CHL after being absolutely flooded with positive reviews and recommendations for his classes.”

“His prices were competitive and he was the only instructor to hold the classes in such a comfortable, relaxing location where it was easy to focus and learn. His class was educational as well as fun. I have joined his fandom and have sent at least a dozen students his way. I recommend him to everyone and tag him in everything. He is an incredible instructor and a wonderful man who is always there for his students, even if you have inquiries years after his class.”

“My family I and I decided to contact Bryan for his concealed class. With a younger son we wanted to educate him on the importance of gun safety.”

“Bryan did a great job, not only was my husband and I educated on the laws and regulations but our now 11 year old son walked away with the importance of gun safety and understanding that they are not toys to play with. I highly recommend PDX Concealed for the whole family.

“I feel like Bryan’s team really cares about the people they have in the classes & willing to help with any questions even weeks after the class.”
“The class was not all stuffy & strict. I felt welcome & not out of place at all. Bryan made the class interesting by giving examples, not just reading from some power point scripted lesson. He showed important safety recommendations & examples as to why it’s important. I’m looking forward to range time to become more confident with my new gun. I would recommend this class to everyone who shows interest in obtaining their concealed carry certification.”
