Safety is Everybody’s Responsibility:
Any training in the use of force contains an element of risk. Your enrollment in our courses demonstrates an understanding of this. You are going to be participating in some dynamic exercises, designed for the “real world” use of firearms for self-defense. It is your responsibility to behave in a safe and courteous manner and follow the rules. Safety is not just the responsibility of the Top-Gun instructors and staff. It is everyone’s!
Our courses require limited physical activity. However, we encourage such activity only within the capabilities of the participant. Should you have a pre-existing condition that precludes or limits your participation in any drill or exercise it is your responsibility to inform instructors and/or staff in advance. Additionally, it is your responsibility to inform instructors and/or staff should you become injured or if you do not feel comfortable, or confident, about participating in any particular exercise or drill.
For those of you who have experienced only “recreational” or “sport” shooting, firearm safety will take on a new meaning. We call it Tactical Firearm Safety. This approach is specifically designed for controlling firearms in highly stressful situations and in a public environment. Learn it! Follow it well! And you’ll be fine.
Upon arrival DO NOT remove any firearm or ammunition from your vehicle. We will instruct you on when and how to produce these items for inspection. Please review the following rules and conditions.
