MY FIREARMS TRAINING CLASS
IS BASED ON THE
NRA's FIRST STEPS PISTOL ORIENTATION COURSE.
Firearm Instruction, Responsibility and Safety Training

E-MAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CLASS

 The course covers:
  1. Introduction to Pistol Safety, Parts, and Operation
  2. Introduction to Ammunition and the Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting
  3. Introduction to pistol Cleaning, Storage, and Training Opportunities
    I also include in addition to the class:
  1. Information on New York State Laws, what to look for and where to find it
  2. Information on the application process
  3. A separate follow-up class after you get your license, where you can shoot using your gun and some of my guns.
The initial class takes about 4 1/2 hours.
NRA's "The Basics of Pistol Shooting"

(If you don't get this book and other NRA supplies and an official NRA Certificate, it is not an NRA Class. Some people give the class and claim to be an NRA INSTRUCTOR. Unless you are giving an official NRA Class the NRA does not allow you to add that you are an NRA instructor.)

      PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CAN TAKE THE REQUIRED SAFETY CLASS BEFORE OR AFTER YOU PUT IN YOUR APPLICATION BUT REMEMBER THAT THE SOONER YOU PUT IN YOUR APPLICATION THE SOONER YOU WILL GET IT BACK.

    New York State is one of the few states, if not the only state, that does not trust its citizens to even touch a handgun without having a license unless you are from 14 to 21 of age to shoot a handgun at a range under supervision without a license.  The Judges who require the class have never approved a course outline and Orange County does not issue, (for good reason,) the exemption allowed for by law that allows you to handle a handgun without a license.  The NRA FIRST STEPS PISTOL ORIENTATION has it's own requirements to meet it's stated goal:

To provide beginning shooters with an introduction to the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to own and use a specific pistol model safely.
  My class is based on the NRA FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation class.  (FIRST stands for Firearm Instruction, Responsibility and Safety Training.)  As part of the requirement of  the class you are required to promise that you will meet me after you get your license and we will go over the class using the handgun that you have purchased.  Only then will I issue you the official NRA FIRST STEPS PISTOL ORIENTATION certificate.  I will charge an additional fee but I will bring along several of my guns to try. You do get a book and some handouts and other things to keep as part of the class.  It takes about 4 to 5 hours and normally the class size is limited.

    I also cover some of the New York State Laws that you might want to know about and where you can find the laws and books that you can use to answer questions that you might have.  I also go into the details of applying for a LICENSE TO CARRY CONCEALED.  (See my web page link to: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STATE LAWS THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? )

E-Mail from past student:

     Thanks for the course today! It was a _LOT_ more informative than I thought it would be. Believe it or not, I went in expecting it to "drag on"... it actually went pretty quickly! Time flies when you're having fun, I guess :) Once again, thank you. I learned a lot more than I expected to. Having been a firearms enthusiast almost all my life and now being a collector of long arms, and researcher of varied small and long arms, the fact that there are still unknowns out there came as a pleasant surprise.
