Our Goal: Teach You Everything You Need To Know
Firearm Education
Knowing how to use your gun is the key to its safe handling. There’s very little point in having a gun if you can’t hit a target. There’s a mighty difference between owning a gun and knowing how to use it. Learning how to properly use and handle a gun is of paramount importance before using this tool. Education is the most important aspect when becoming a responsible gun owner.
You'll learn this, and so much more!

Let's clear up some Firearm Misconceptions
Misconception
Revolvers are easier to shoot than Pistols.
Truth
Revolvers are not necessarily easier to shoot than other handguns. Training and education is key to understanding what to expect when firing a weapon. It’s important to take into consideration the firearm’s recoil, caliber, make and model.
Misconception
There are some firearms that are easier for women to shoot.
Truth
Guns aren’t gender-specific. The type of firearm a person may prefer is a personal choice and there isn’t a certain type of gun that is preferable for women or men. However, certain firearms may be marketed toward men or women.
We train women and men to be proficient with any firearm they would like to shoot.
Misconception
Once you buy a gun you don’t need to practice shooting.
Truth
Responsible firearm owners should become comfortable with their guns and improve their abilities. Like most kinetic skills, the ability to use a firearm well is a perishable skill. Also, California requires a Carry Concealed Weapons permit holder to renew every two years.
Misconception
Buying a gun is an easy thing to do.
Truth
In the state of California, the buyer must provide several forms of identification plus undergo a background check. There is also a 10-day waiting period after purchasing a gun, before the buyer can take possession. Obtaining a Carry Concealed Weapons permit is a lengthy process that requires broad discretion from the local sheriff’s department with training plus a paper application process.
