About Gabriel Protection & Training
Gabriel Protection & Training is a pistol range and training center in Flint, MI, and its reviews are about one thing above all: CPL classes. Reviewers describe an indoor range that is very clean and well maintained, and one reviewer says the owner and his wife run an organized, smoke free facility. Another reviewer says there was an instructor present the entire time at the shooting range.
The instructor named most often is Chuck Melki, whom reviewers describe as knowledgeable, patient and funny, with a background in law enforcement. Reviewers who took CPL classes in Flint say the course covers firearm safety and home defense, and one adds proper storage, while another reviewer calls Chuck "the teachers teacher." Others took a refresher or renewal course, and two mention advanced classes. One reviewer took a basic pistol class with very little prior knowledge and describes lessons on safe handling, grip, stance, sight alignment and trigger control, plus hands-on range time.
The classes draw people at different skill levels: one reviewer says they were not comfortable with guns before the class, one couple describes themselves as true beginners, and another recommends the instructor to first timers and old timers. Reviewers also mention the shop. One bought a holster there and had it reset for a left-handed shooter.

One thing I really appreciate is that Chuck only sells to people he has taught- he's honest, informative, and wants to make sure that you understand exactly what you're doing with a firearm, as well as the laws surrounding it so that you're able to be capable and confident in gun ownership. He is also excellent at making sure that you have exactly what you need without overselling you, if you're buying your first gun with him. Also, I'm left-handed and he helped me reset the holster I purchased with him so it suits me. I really appreciate that he looks out for his students. . . . While the CPL class might be a little pricier than other places, I believe it's worth every penny. His trustworthiness, expertise, and character goes a long way.
Had my CPL refresher course with Gabriel Pistol Range. Chuck is a fantastic instructor and extremely knowledgeable. I learned new things since my last class. The refresher is well worth the minimal cost. A+
Very detailed, patient, learned everything I need to know to be protect myself/family.
Chuck is beyond qualifed to teach CPL courses having the numerous years of experience he has, and it is really well reflected in his curriculum. He will go far more in depth into the legal minutia than most others, and does his best to answer any questions you may have, and is more than happy to spend the time to set you up with a firearm you are comfortable, and confident with. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for someone considering getting a CPL. His range is extremely clean, and very, very well maintained, in addition to his class being absolutely head and shoulders above the other offerings. I had gathered that just from talking to him on the phone, and doing a in person consultation before taking the class. Taking my CPL class with Chuck only further cemented my initial notions. Thanks Chuck, I look forward to seeing you for the advanced and holster Classes! Stay safe, and keep up the outstanding work you're doing!
First time CPL holder would not want to learn from anyone else with the legal education you get with the class 5 stars for sure
I highly recommend his courses to anyone wanting to learn about firearms. I've taken the CPL class twice now and have been extremely pleased with everything thing I've been able to learn from chuck😁
Great CPL class. Chuck did an excellent job teaching firearm safety, proper storage, and self-defense laws. Very informative, professional, and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this course
Chuck Melki is a true professional, concerned with quality instruction and safety. He and his wife run an organized, smoke free facility. They know what they are doing. He is the archangel.
This class is very informative! Chuck’s knowledge and fun sense of humor makes the class interesting, I recommend this to everyone that’s wants the knowledge and experience of handling a firearm! Thanks for everything!
I took Chuck’s CPL training last week and it was unbelievable. He has created a course that is so broad and full of grade above information. He is safety first, so don’t sign up if you’re hoping for a hack that will give you a fake certificate. I walked out at completion of course having made new friends all that had the same mindset, that obtaining a CPL is a serious responsibility that No one should ever want to act upon, but if a bad guy appears, we are trained, armed and ready. Thanks for all you do Chuck!
