Welcome to Intro to Marksmanship & Maintenance also known as GUN 101! All are welcome to take this basic firearms course, designed to make you as safe and effective as possible. This is a great class to take either before or after taking a Concealed Carry/Concealed Handgun Permit class or for individuals purchasing their first handgun. Training includes both classroom and live fire shooting. This block of instruction covers best practices for safely handling semi-automatic handguns, loading and unloading as safely as possible, common malfunctions and how to fix them, gun cleaning/maintenance, and further relates this information to the mechanics of the firearm. I tie the information I teach to my experience as a firearms instructor, as a former member of the special operations community, an Expert Witness for firearms cases, and as a gun range owner/operator.

This class includes 50-100 rounds of live fire, depending on the pace of the student.
