Basic Firearms Safety Class (Saturday Morning Class)

This is the class required to apply for a License To Carry (LTC) or a Firearms Identification Card (FID) in Massachusetts. Upon completion of this class, you will receive your MA Basic Firearms Certificate and a GAASP Certificate.

Taught in conjunction with the LTC class, the GAASP program  (gun assault accident and suicide prevention) is based on a CDC request to lower incidents of gun-related injuries and deaths.  It was created by Boston police Commissioner Will Gross and a blue ribbon panel to specifically address the main cause of gun injury and death,  accidents, assaults, and suicide.  No new gun owner should be without this training.  Upon completion, a certificate will be issued.

Curriculum includes:

• Firearm safety in the home and on the firing range
