Travis was a great instructor. He has small sized classes that make it feel more personal and taught directly to you. He gives plenty of breaks throughout the class and supplies food/drink. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking to get instruction/education from him.
Logan EhlertI recently attended his concealed carry class. Travis was an excellent instructor, combining his years of experience in law-enforcement with an intelligent professional approach to the training. I certainly would highly recommend Travis and his code for defense training to anyone
Very well put together class. Was very informative but also he kept it moving and interesting.
Austin LammersTravis is a really cool guy and an even better instructor. He really takes the time to explain and you can tell that he genuinely cares that his students not only learn what he’s teaching But retain it
Kash CarterTravis is a great instructor, with a wealth of experience. I highly recommend his class.
Greg GrayTravis did an awesome job when I took his class. I would recommend him to anyone.
Travis is great. and taught a good class! He was very informative, direct and thorough on the rights, responsibilities, obligations and risks associated with choosing to carry a firearm. The range qualification was set up well and went quick. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is considering taking a class in Minnesota!!

Travis is a top notch instructor.
Nick GreenTravis isn't just the place to get qualified for a MN permit, but he is the beginning of your journey to becoming a competent and confident user of 2A tools. Don’t stop at the permit! Take his advance classes on empty hand defense, edged weapons, ground fighting, tactical movement and unorthodox shooting positions. Code 4 is well equipped to walk with you on your training adventure. Highly recommend!
John B McLaughlinI’ve taken plenty of classes with some of the top national trainers, Chuck Haggard, the late Pat Rogers, AJ Zito, etc. Code 4 gets my recommendation and top ratings for breaking down the complexity of winning a life and death encounter. I would encourage you to use Code 4 for not just beginning your training, but taking you to a level where you can perform cold and on demand on the worst day of your life. If you carry a 2A tool, you have an ethical and moral obligation to be trained to a high level. Give them a call!
Just completed the permit to carry class, great instructor with a long list of qualifications
isaiah EnziTravis was great to work with, has a lot of experience and had plenty of real life experiences to connect to the trainings. The course was full of good information on how to keep safe and protect. I was a little nervous when getting out in the range but Travis made it comfortable, safe, and helped with tips to shoot safer and confidently.
Professional trainer and good experience .If you are looking for a place to get permit , just go ahead and never hesitate .
Farhad HayderGreat experience! Instruction and teaching were excellent.
Nathan DoeringThis was a very informative and fun class. Each of my friends felt confident and knowledgeable after completing the training from Travis Macleod. He was thorough and patient, answering every question and giving us the needed practice. We each left ready to go get out Conceal and Carry license! I highly recommend Travis Macleod and taking advantage of our 2nd Amendment rights as Americans.
Deborah FearThank you Travis for all the great information you provided to our office to keep our agents safe out in the field
gena syvertsonHighly recommend Code 4 Defense for all ages and experience levels! Travis MacLeod is very informative, straight to the point, and speaks from experience, not theory. IMO everyone should take a concealed carry class, even if you don't plan to carry. Knowing how to operate a handgun and the fine-lines of the law is the first step to protecting and teaching yourself, your friends, and your family!
Class was outstanding and so was the instructor Travis Macleod when time comes to renew permit I will go back to his class. I will let other individuals know about his class permit to carry.
