The four rules
They are on this page so you can read them before you decide whether to come.
Every course opens with these and closes with storage. Nothing else taught here matters as much, and any of it can be learned by anybody in an afternoon.
Rule 1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
Not “check whether it is”. Behave as though it is, every time, including the time you just checked it yourself thirty seconds ago. This is the rule that makes the other three matter.
Rule 2. Never point it at anything you are not willing to destroy.
Where the muzzle is pointing is the only question that has ever mattered. In this classroom that means the floor or a designated wall, and we will tell you which before anything is in your hands.
Rule 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Along the frame, not inside the guard. Almost everybody does this wrong at first because of how firearms are held in films, and unlearning it is most of the first hour.
Rule 4. Know your target, and what is beyond it.
A bullet does not stop at what you aimed at. On a range this means knowing where the backstop is. At home it means knowing what is on the other side of every wall.
And a fifth, for the house.
Store it so that the person you least want holding it cannot. That is not a rule anybody teaches on a range, but it is the one that matters at home, and the home storage consultation exists because of it.
Nothing on this page is legal advice about firearms law, and nothing taught here issues or satisfies any permit or licence.
