Course Description:

LADIES ONLY COURSE

This course is highly recommended for handgun owners who want to learn more about handguns in general or the responsibilities of handgun ownership. This class is also designed for the homeowner with guns in the house, but may not be comfortable with them. This is a 3 hour class limited to 12 students. This class is not for the student who wants to learn to improve their shooting skills (see 301-Pistol Marksmanship). The goal of this course is to provide an overview of handgun types, calibers and ammunition so the new shooter can gain confidence, basic experience and firearm awareness.

Course Objectives:
This course Covers the following:

  1. The fundamentals of firearm safety
  2. Range rules
  3. Nomenclature of firearms and ammunition
  4. General maintenance, storage and transportation of a firearm
  5. Guided shooting experience with instructor-selected DR rental handguns (included in price)


For students aged 16-20 a parent or guardian has to accompany each student, but will not be charged.  If there are any sales of ammunition they will need to be charged to the parent or guardian who is over the age of 21.


 

LEGAL UPDATE

2024 CCW Changes

Due to Governor Newsom signing into Law SB2; beginning January 1, 2024, CCW training requirement hours have increased. 

The training for the Initial CCW has increased from 8 hours to 16 hours. 

The CCW Renewal training has increased from 4 hours to 8 hours.

The "108 - Renewal or Initial Part 2" - 8hr CCW course will fulfill the requirements for a CCW Renewal, as well as provide 8 hours of the required 16 hours for an Initial CCW. 

The remaining 8 hours required for the Initial CCW can be fulfilled by completing the "110 - CCW Initial Part 1" course.  At this time we do not offer a modular CCW.
