About Total Defense Gun Shop and Indoor Shooting Range
Total Defense Gun Shop and Indoor Shooting Range is a gun shop and indoor shooting range in Ramsey, MN, and the reviews are dominated by its classes. One reviewer describes a 16 lane range with 6 lanes just for pistol, and two reviewers call the lanes clean.
Concealed carry classes come up again and again. Reviewers describe a class of about five hours that is kept engaging, with a live-fire portion on the range afterward, and one reviewer says it suits "from nervous first timers to experienced professionals." Beyond that class, reviewers mention defensive shooting courses with a second level to sign up for, and one-on-one private lessons. Of the reviewers who came in with little or no experience, one says every staff member they met was welcoming and willing to teach patiently, and another felt comfortable and confident by the time the class reached the range.
For gun rentals in Ramsey, MN, one reviewer rented a firearm for their live firing. The shop side carries new and used firearms, gun cases and optics, and one reviewer mentions holsters. Two reviewers bring up the gunsmiths: one calls them highly trained, and another, who describes comfortable surroundings for shopping and a range lounge, had an optic installed while waiting and found the gunsmith upfront about work that would have to go off site.
One visitor who stopped by on a bit of a whim found the staff really friendly and the place professional, and another returned for a second carry class and again had a great experience. In Ramsey, reviewers describe an indoor shooting range with lanes set aside for pistol, plus classes, private lessons, a gunsmith and a firearms shop.

I completed conceal and carry class with Mark Paul and he is not only well versed in the laws and safety procedures, but he teaches in a way that is easy to understand and remember the safety procedures. Truly exceptional instructor and nice facility.
City of Ramsey's best destination. Simply put best gun indoor gun range I've ever been in. Staff is all extremely knowledgeable and very very friendly with a family atmosphere. Highly recommend total defense in Ramsey Minnesota. This total defense in Ramsey just keeps getting better and better with time... The training and knowledge of the staff here is second to none.. Stop in the total defense and say hello to Angela and the staff. Added note they also have highly trained gunsmiths and as we all know a good gunsmith is great to know.. This is the happiest place in Anoka county...
Great customer service.
Great staff, 16 lane range, 6 lanes just pistol
I took my carry permit class here. The owner has an insurance salesman trying to sell you a "membership" to and insurance program during the class. I wrote about this on a Facebook post and the person running their Facebook page said my experience wasn't real. The people teaching the class referred to the insurance membership many times after the sales speech from the insurance salesman. I would rather pay more somewhere else and not be put through a sales presentation. They claimed in the facebook post that we were told we could get up and leave during this presentation. This never happened. The classes at Bills have no sales presentation. I will not take another class at this establishment.
Andrew was an awesome teacher and made the content of the class easy to learn.
Great fun! Good people!
I went in on Aug. 1st to renew my permit to carry. The instructor we had was Andrew. Andrew was very to the point with the when, how, where and what to do if situations along with having a wealth of knowledge for the students. After the class Andrew and I were talking and I told him this was the best class I have had to date. While talking and I explained the last time I had taken a class to renew my permit was at a gun club in "St. Francis". I said the instructors (there where two) spent more time telling us "we have a great their gun club here", positions to be in if you need to use your weapon, "we have a great their gun club here", types of holsters you should use, "we have a great gun club here", etc. Rather then explaining the "when, how, where and what to do if" situations that needs to be taught, they spent more time promoting their gun club. They also had the students fire six rounds to qualify. No where near enough in my opinion to see if someone can "safely" use a firearm. When I dropped of my paperwork to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, they even said they had heard great things about Total Defense and there classes. Bottom line is Total Defense has a great program and great insturctors, I promiss you will not be disapointed here.
