Introduction to Firearms

The beginners class. How guns work, how to check whether one is loaded, and how to handle one safely.

This class is for students with little or no experience. You learn how different types of firearms work, how to make sure they are unloaded, and how to operate one safely.

We cover shooting fundamentals and answer any question you have about guns, with no assumption that you already know the answer. First-time shooters do well in this class, and it is a sensible way to work up to the concealed carry class.
