Important Note: This Is Not a Firearm Licensing Course

We’ve received some questions about whether this course qualifies participants for a firearm license. It’s important to note that our Introduction to Pistol Shooting course is not designed to provide licensing or competency certification. Instead, it serves as an introduction to safe firearm usage, helping participants gain the basic skills and knowledge needed to handle a pistol safely.

For those interested in obtaining a firearm license, please consult local regulations and complete the necessary competency processes.

We’re here to assist you every step of the way.
