I am wrting to express my utmost respect and appreciation for the exceptional firearms training provided by Joe. As a physician, I understand the critical importance of safety in such training, and Joe has consistently demonstrated an exemplary commitment to this principle. Joe's approach to firearms training infused with the discipline of martial arts, is truly commendable. During our sesions, his acute awareness and sensitivity to my comfort and safety were evident. For instance, he intuitively recognized my discomfort with a particular excercise, and despite my silence, he prioritized my well-being over the training progression. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, and emphasis on safety have not gone unnoticed. I have the utmost confidence in his ability to provide thorough and safe training, which is of paramount importance in this field. I beleive that Joe's dedication and expertise significantly contribute to the high standard of firearms training provided. I feel privileged to have the opportunity
to train under his guidance and expertise.
Joe......you are an excellent instructor and really provide high quality training. You are very good at what you do and the trainees learn as much as possible about handgun safety and shooting techniques. You are more concerned with the quality of your training than making money. That is what I appreciate.
I'm definitely a better marksman. Thanks for helping me. I look forward to getting better and having you teach me.
I've known Joe for over 25 years. His excellent skills as a Karateka and as a Karate instructor transition quite well into his firearms instruction. He is extremely patient with new shooters and will meticulously work with you on every aspect of shooting, from safe handling, to moving and shooting and everything in between. Safety is emphasized in every drill he does. No pistol is set down or re-holstered until both shooters verify the gun is "clear". Whether you are looking to get your NJ Permit to Carry, or just looking to become a better shooter, Joe will be able to help you in your endeavor.
I recently took the Basics of Pistol course taught by Joe. He is extremely thorough in all aspects of gun handling and shooting. He puts you at ease, and you will gain much confidence using your gun. I will be taking additional courses with Joe.
There is an insurance campaign that says the following in its advertisement.........."You're in good hands".
I also say that you gain experience with a truly reliable person. I met Mr. Joe three weeks ago, and beleive me, I thought I knew how to use a gun for ten years, but I did'nt even know how to hold a gun, let alone use it. Of course I really want to thank him again from here. Mr Joe is a really good teacher and a sincere and honest person. In short, I would like to say this on my own behalf.
Mr. Joe, I would like to thank you very much for the education you gave me. YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS!
I wanted to let you know how much I learned by your carry instructions class and I appreciate your passion for the safe thandling of firearms. I know many friends that carry in different states that don't require this type of training, they think they know enough of the basics to carry a firearm safely........Big mistake!
After the completion of your training, I felt I could safely carry a firearm and have the knowledge needed not to harm myself or anyone else by mishandling a gun.
Your training and instruction was great!
An added plus, you helped me to understand the basics of hand positioning and had me shooting more accuratelty.....Thank you!
Hi Joe! Just wanted to thank you again for the awesome training session. Expected to work on improving my marksmanship as well as some basic holster drills. Walked away with an abundance of information and a new appreciation for the gunbelt, IWB holster vs my bellyband, and the experience of some very helpful drills incorporated into your lesson.
I learned a lot, gained confidence in my capabilities and had a great time as well. I'd be honored to highly recommend you to anyone who wants to learn from square one, or build and improve on what they already know.
Thank you again, Sincerely, Maria
I am writing to express my profound respect and appreciation for the exceptional firearms training provided by Joe L. He is a great source of knowledge and was always willing to explain, what and how to improve. He was patient with his time and did not hesitate to elaborate when questioned on topics of importance.
As an engineer, I understand the critical importance of safety and technique in such training, and Joe consistently demonstrated an exemplary commitment to those principles. One of the highlights of the experience with Joe was the synchrony between what he practiced, and what he preached. I couldn’t have been happier and intend to be a repeat customer - Quinn C. - (04/21/24)”\
Hope to see you at USANA and in additional instruction!

The way this economy is going best to be safe than sorry. There is no better way to be prepared than to get your permit to carry and training. Joe has worked with me and done a great job in this he is pointed out areas where I need to improve which I will but it's a great course and I definitely recommend
I want to sincerely thank you for
the past year in preparing me for my NJ CCW permit.
Testing me in a manner where I felt well-informed on the process, clear on instructions and safe in the training environment, by an expert truly passionate about firearms skills and safety, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for everything!
I recently completed two classes with Joe Lauricella at JAL Pistol Defense, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. The first was an NRA Pistol Safety class, which was both informative and practical—a perfect introduction to firearm ownership and safety. Joe was thorough and clear in his teaching, making sure I understood the fundamentals.
My second lesson was a private 1-on-1 marksmanship class, which was outstanding. Joe’s patience and dedication really showed as he walked me through key techniques like grip basics, sight alignment, and sight picture. I left feeling confident and ready to continue practicing at the range, armed with valuable tips and insights.
Thanks to Joe’s guidance, I feel much more comfortable with my firearm, and once I’ve honed my skills further, I’ll definitely be booking more advanced training with him. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and supportive instructor, Joe is your guy.
Cheers, T.G.
I had a great session with Joe. He is a safety first, second and third guy (which I really appreciate). He assessed my skill levels and adapted the training to my needs. He also gave me drills to work on at home. I plan on doing more training with Joe in the future.
Joe is a great trainer. I met him for a 3 hour course and it was 4 and a half hours. He is completely thorough with everything he does. I have trouble with my hands and Joe even researched a gun that would be good for me. He even went far and beyond and met me at the gun store. I will be taking my conceal and carry test through him. I cannot say enough about Joe he is a great person and a great trainer.
