Basic Pistol

Basic Pistol

**This class qualifies you to apply for your permit with the Sheriff's Office.

This class is for students who have very little to no firearm experience. Whether you want to start a new hobby, take added steps to protect yourself and loved ones, or you want to exercise your second amendment rights, this class will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and attitude to build a solid foundation so that the idea of owning/shooting a firearm won’t be so intimidating.

This Basic Pistol Class discusses:

Firearm safety
Safe firearm storage
Pistol mechanism & operation of semi-automatic pistols and revolvers
How to properly load/unload firearms
Ammunition fundamentals
Proper pistol shooting skills, shooting positions, & common shooting errors
Clearing pistol stoppages
Pistol maintenance, selection & use

Students will then implement the shooting techniques and safety precautions taught in class by practicing at an indoor, temperature controlled gun range. Range time can be scheduled on the same day as the class, or separately, depending on range availability.

The cost is a flat fee of $100. The cost covers the range fee, class material, and targets. This class is 4 hours total (3 hours in class and 1 hour on the range).

There is no age minimum, but minors must be accompanied by an adult/guardian. Also, anyone under the age of 21 years old cannot legally purchase a handgun.

If you have questions about your firearm, feel free to bring it to the classroom portion. Live ammunition is not permitted in the building where the classroom is located. Please leave ammo in your car until the range portion which takes place at a separate indoor range afterwards. The classroom portion takes place in an indoor, temperature controlled classroom.

For the basic pistol class, please wear a high neck shirt and closed toe shoes for the range time. Additionally, you’ll want to bring your firearm, at least 50rds of ammo, clear eye protection and ear pro in the form of ear muffs. Range time takes place at a separate indoor range and it can be loud when shooting.
