Firearms 101: Technology, Safety, Marksmanship, and Gun Laws

The class begins with an interactive classroom presentation about how firearms and ammunition function; the principles of safe gun handling; and an understanding of the laws as they relate to guns and the use of force. Following the classroom presentation, the class will culminate in a live fire session at a local range where you will learn how to properly handle, operate and fire a handgun. The price includes the range fees. You do not need to have your own pistol. You can borrow one of ours.
