This course is for the new gun owner or perhaps for someone who is looking for a refresher. This course will focus on the BASICS. This is NOT a CCDW course, though we do recommend taking this course prior to taking the KyCCDW. The main focus of this course is SAFETY and proper handling and operation of your firearm. Safety is our number one priority so in order to participate in this course, you must be willing to take strict directions from the instructors. With that being said, this course has a hard cap of 8 participants. If it is full, you can request to be put on the waiting list. Anyone unwilling to follow directions and safety protocols from the instructors will be asked to leave with no refund.
We DO NOT recommend purchasing a firearm SOLELY to take this course. But if you already have one you want to practice with that is fine. Otherwise we recommend using our equipment rental to get a better idea before spending that kind of money.
Must be at least 18 years old, and legally able to possess a firearm, or if under 18 must attend with a paying parent or legal guardian.
Waivers will be required in order to participate. These, along with other information, will be provided in an email sent 4 days prior to the start of class.
You MUST arrive with your firearms UNLOADED and in an adequate case. NOT on your person. Equipment will be inspected upon arrival.
