Multi-State (Utah) Firearms Training Class

Posted on by

Saturday, March 23 – 9am – 2pm;  Dunham’s Bay Fish & Game Club – Ridge Rd. – Queensbury NY

Limited Seating.  Pre-registration and Pre-payment is required

The State of Utah has reciprocity agreements with 30+ other states for its concealed firearm permit.  With this permit you can legally carry concealed firearms in those reciprocity states, as governed by each state’s local laws and regulations.  A New York State pistol license is not required; however, the Utah permit is not valid for carry in New York State.  Utah requires license applicants to take a pre-license firearm familiarity and safety class from a certified instructor.  The Utah permit is valid for 5 years and costs $67 (our pre-license class fees are not included).

This 4 to 5-hour class is taught by a certified firearms instructor and will include:

General familiarity instruction with the types of firearms to be concealed, including basic handgun safety training, and Review of Federal and Utah State codes, rules, and regulations that pertain to firearms.
Class fee is $125 and must be pre-paid. 

Participants will receive:
Utah concealed firearm license application packet; you are responsible for applying The Instructor’s certification stamp on your Utah permit application (required with application) Fingerprints taken on Utah’s fingerprint card Professional Passport-style ID photos, required for Utah application A copy of the course of instruction on CD Our Certified Firearms Instructor, Tom Harig, is a nationally known criminologist with 35+ years of professional experience. He has worked in New York State’s criminal justice agencies; has been a national trainer in numerous events for the US Department of Justice; and has been a trainer and consultant to numerous State and local criminal justice agencies across the country. He is a Certified Firearms Instructor by the National Rifle Association, and he is a Certified Concealed Firearms Instructor by the State of Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification.

Basic Pistol Safety and Training Course

Posted on by

Saturday March 30, 2019 – 9:00am – 3:00pm

Dunham’s Bay Fish & Game Club – Ridge Rd. – Queensbury NY

Pre-registration and Pre-Payment is required

This course teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely. The all-day course includes classroom and range time learning to shoot revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Students learn rules for safe gun handling; pistol parts and operation; ammunition; shooting fundamentals; range rules; actual shooting from the bench rest position, and two handed standing positions; and cleaning the pistol.

Because this is a hands-on live-fire handgun shooting course, participants must possess a New York State License to Carry Pistol. The class fee is $130. Pre-registration and pre-payment is required. Seating is limited. Photographs and fingerprints are not provided in this class.

Participants will receive a certificate acknowledging their completion of a firearm safety and training course conducted by a certified firearm instructor. This is typically adequate proof of firearm training required for a non-resident firearm license in states like Arizona, Florida, Maine, and Virginia, although we do not guarantee acceptance by any particular state. It is, of course, solely the individual’s responsibility to ensure that they meet the application requirements for each license they seek.
