HANDGUN SAFETY SEMINAR
For a nominal tuition fee of $50.00, students in the Handgun Safety Seminar have the opportunity to learn vital information on deadly force laws and the state laws regarding ownership and possession of handguns, along with learning the basics of how to handle and shoot your handgun safely and competently.
If you already own a handgun, we hope you will attend this valuable class to learn how to be a safer gun owner, and master the fundamentals of marksmanship. If you do not own a handgun and are interested in learning about handguns and gun safety, we encourage you to call well in advance of the class you wish to attend. A limited number of .22 caliber training handguns are available, and can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and if you need to borrow one, please be sure to tell us.
This is an adult level course. Students must be 18 years of age or older, free of criminal background, and legally able to own or be in possession of handguns. Students must sign a statement comfirming that they can legally possess guns before participating in the class. The student must complete the 3 hour classroom session before going to the range for the live-fire training (both are at the same facility). Seminars start promptly at 10:00 a.m., and run until approximately 5:00 p.m. The Onalaska range is approximately 2 1/4 hours and 1 3/4 hours from downtown Seattle or Portland, but give yourself a little extra time in case you make a wrong turn. The Arlington range is about 50 minutes from downtown Seattle, depending on traffic.
What to bring. Students should bring their own good quality handgun in a secure carrying case (unless you have reserved one of our training handguns), and 50 rounds of full metal jacketed (FMJ) factory ammunition (Please, absolutely no steel-cased ammunition). Unless the student has a license to carry a concealed handgun, the gun must be transported unloaded in a case or other opaque, secure container, out of their immediate reach while in their car. Student should also bring wrap-around eye protection and hearing protection, as well as their lunch.
Pre-enrollment is strictly required.
It is not okay to just show up. You must pre-register, either over the phone or online. The classes fill very quickly so we recommend you call well in advance. Confirmation information will be sent to you by mail, including a map to our location along with any other information you need before attending class. Please note the following details:
- Women who are pregnant or nursing may not participate in live-fire training, due to risks from lead exposure and loud noise.
- Each student will be required to sign a statement that they are legally entitled to own handguns prior to participation in the class.Thus, this class is not appropriate for individuals required to complete court-mandated or court-ordered firearms safety training.
- For courses scheduled at Norpoint on Tuesday and Thursday nights, it is necessary to attend both sessions, because the classroom segment is taught on Tuesday night, with the range instruction held on the Thursday night of this two evening class.
