Why this class?

We believe everyone deserves to feel safe. First, we want to empower new gun owners by providing the framework for understanding firearms in order to promote good learning habits. Secondly, our goal for this course is that you will understand the basics of firearms, be safe and feel confident when handling a firearm.

Who is this class for?

This class is a basic firearms safety course for anyone who is new to firearms or who is considering purchasing one in the future.

Will this class meet state requirements for a Concealed Weapons Permit?

While you will receive a "certificate of completion" at the end of this course, it does not meet requirements for a concealed weapons permit class. That is a different class and may be found here. This is not a shooting course, a tactical course, or tips on hunting techniques. Nor are we associated with any political organization. We simply want you to be safe with your firearm.

How long will this take?

• Here is what you can expect: There are 3 main sections followed by some bonus material on specific firearms. Each section contains short, easy to recall lessons that include a "check your retention" quiz at then end. Most people complete the course 95 minutes, but you are welcome to review segments over for optimal learning.
• About the instructor: Chris Forrest is a former Navy SEAL, government contractor, hunters education instructor and owner of TACTIC, a firearms training facility in Bozeman, Montana.
