Range Safety – When arriving at the range, all personal firearms should be unloaded and stored in a case, bag or other container. Holsters are not required for this class. However, any holster used should be a strong-side, OWB holster to avoid unsafe handling of the firearm. Standard range safety protocols will be reviewed prior to the start of the class.
