Welcome to our Firearms Safety Class! Together, we embark on a journey towards responsible firearm ownership and usage. Over the eight hours of class, we will cover essential principles, regulations, and practices to ensure safety and proficiency with firearms. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a beginner, this class aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle firearms safely and confidently.

Throughout the day, we’ll delve into various topics, including proper firearm handling, storage, maintenance, and marksmanship fundamentals. We’ll also explore legal and ethical considerations surrounding firearms ownership and use, emphasizing the importance of responsible behavior and adherence to local laws and regulations.

Our experienced instructors are here to guide you every step of the way, drawing from their expertise and real-world experience to provide valuable insights and practical advice. Additionally, interactive demonstrations and hands-on exercises will allow you to apply what you learn in a controlled environment, fostering a deeper understanding of firearm safety principles.

Upon successful completion of this class, you will receive a certificate affirming your participation and mastery of the fundamental concepts of firearms safety. This certificate not only serves as a testament to your dedication but provides the essential requirements to apply for the Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL).

So, let’s embark on this journey together, prioritizing safety, responsibility, and respect for firearms. By the end of training, you’ll not only have the confidence to handle firearms safely but also the knowledge to be a responsible member of the firearms community. Let’s make your firearms class count!
