Gun Safety for Concealed Weapon Permits
This co-ed course is intended to familiarize students with the
safe application of
firearms for self defense. Delivered all in one weekend
day,
students will spend morning in the classroom and the afternoon
at the
shooting range in this course.
Graduates earn a credential that allows them to apply for a
Montana concealed weapon permit, if they choose to apply.
This course will focus on safe handling, storage and use of
handguns
suitable for personal protection, kids and guns, selecting a
personal
firearm, issues of personal protection, allowable use of lethal
force,
shooting skills and more. The class begins at 9:00 AM, and
finishes at 4:00 PM. Class size is limited to the first 20
registrants and preregistration is required.. The tuition
is $100
per student, with fee waived if necessary. No age
restrictions.
At the Range with a typical class:
"I just wanted to send you a note to let you
know how much I enjoyed your class. It was informative,
well-organized, and VERY enjoyable! ... you did a masterful
job... I would highly recommend your classes to
anyone wanting to know more about guns, shooting sports, or
handgun defense." Brad

NOTICE -
POLICIES
CANCELLATION/REFUND - No refunds will be issued to students
who fail to show up for a class, to students who fail to
attend a complete class, or to students who have paid
tuition but choose to cancel for a particular class
date. If a student has a genuine distress situation or
emergency, such as a health problem for the student or
immediate family member, I will reschedule the student for a
subsequent class at no additional cost.
LATE ARRIVAL AT CLASS - The instructional day is packed with
information essential to class completion. Although I
will try to work with students who have unavoidable delays,
such as automobile breakdowns enroute to class, generally
students who are not present at the beginning of the class
day will not receive credentials for class completion.
REPLACEMENT OF CLASS CERTIFICATES OR CREDENTIALS - Because I have now
graduated over 3,600 students from these classes over the past
25 years, it won't surprise former students to learn that I
get requests to replace of mislaid class completion
credentials. Because of that, I've had to develop a
policy concerning certificate replacements.
What I certify to the sheriff with the certificate I issue is
that the student has been
trained to know safe gun handling and that I have
tested the student to be safe handling firearms.
Students will remember my warning that the skills I teach are
perishable.
Given those presumptions, it is my policy to not reissue
certificates that are over three years old - for class
completion more than three years in the past -, because I no
longer have current personal knowledge to assure the sheriff
that the student retains good, safe gun handling skills.
RESERVED CLASS SLOT AFTER NO-SHOW - Some prospective students
have reserved class slots but have failed to obtain class
materials or attend, sometimes more than once. Such
students waste an opportunity for other students who would
like to be included in a limited size class. Any
prospective student who registers for a slot in a class but
fails to follow through by obtaining class materials and
attending may be prohibited from future class registration.
