This class is a basic introduction to firearms that assumes no prior knowledge. It is good for those who are considering firearm ownership or those who want to understand how to navigate around firearms safely.

We will have approximately two hours of classroom instruction, then we'll be driving to a shooting range for live fire practice (most likely in Des Plaines). If you need a ride, please include that info in the notes field during registration.

Topics we will cover include:

• Firearms and parts

• Safely loading and unloading

• Safely operating and shooting

• Basics of marksmanship

• Live fire practice

Please review all of our policies on our Policy Page, and be prepared to sign a waiver once you arrive to class. The class fees include range fees, targets, and instruction, but DO NOT include ammunition. I will have guns available for use during the class, as well as ammunition available at cost. If you bring your own gun and it is not 9mm, please bring ammunition or be prepared to purchase it at the range.
