Level 1 Firearms Safety and Training is a family focused group of firearm instructors who are dedicated to delivering quality firearm safety instruction in a safe and secure environment in Caldwell, Idaho. We focus on involving as many members of your family as possible to ensure everyone, regardless of age, behaves appropriately when around a firearm, including teaching young children to never touch a firearm, to leave the room, and to contact an adult.
Many of our
Caldwell, Idaho
students are new to formal firearms training. They come to us expecting to be treated with respect, taught in a professional manner, and teach them how to use their firearm properly. At Level 1 Firearms Safety and Training, you will never experience the “military style” of training other instructors advertise. While there is certainly some students who learn better in these types of environments, we believe our job is to engage our students with thoughtful discussion, demonstrations and enactments, and encouraging drills and live-fire exercises that will improve their firearms skills.
We have both male and female instructors conducting our Idaho Carry and Concealed Classes. Some students have a preference to be taught by an instructor of the same sex while others prefer the opposite; other students have no preference.
there are certain state requirements that have to be met during instruction. Like any formal training event, there’s a mixture of lectures, practical demonstrations, interaction with the students, ensuring students comprehend the lessons they are being taught, and allowing plenty of time to practice, ask questions, and review their lesson plan. Classes are essential broken down into logical steps that are built upon throughout the day.
Caldwell, Idaho Firearms Safety Classes
Safety lessons in
Caldwell, Idaho
begin with the most basic of firearm safety rules, storage, and responsibility. Students learn the 3-most fundamental rules of firearm safety followed by additional rules which are designed to ensure an “accidental” discharge never occurs, an “innocent” target is never struck, and the responsibility a gun owner has to secure his weapons in a safe or safety device that cannot be easily accessible by an unauthorized person. Securing firearms from unauthorized access is extremely important and can prevent the needless tragedies we have witnessed in the past when an unstable person goes on a gun shooting spree. In most cases, the guns come from a close family member’s home or even their own home-the simple act of securing those firearms in a locked safe could have prevented many of these horrific events.
Understanding your Firearm
If you don’t understand your firearm, how it works, why it works, what size
explain each of their strengths and weaknesses, and then focus on the student’s personal weapon of choice. This is a very interactive time as student’s get to “showcase” their firearm and explain why they prefer it over others (don’t worry, there’s no ammunition allowed in the class and the firearms are checked and secured during the class.
There is a brief discussion on ammunition, how it works, and the varying types of ammunition, as well as calibers that are available.
Building Shooting Skills
Students who are new to firearms, and even those who have shot in
the past, will learn several basic shooting styles and positions. While
inside the class, the students will conduct “dry-fire” exercises (dry-fire
means no live ammunition). They are instructed on topics such as
breath control, hold control, trigger control and more. Students are
taught the most common shooting positions and are asked to practice
each of them to find the one that best fits their comfort level. As we are
building up to “live-fire” at the range, students are provided with
information about the common shooting errors that occur, how to
correct them, and how to improve upon their target acquisition. The
lesson closed with a discussion and demonstration of common pistol
stoppages and how to correct them when they occur.
Firearms, Self-Defense, and the Law
Students receive a general over-view of the major federal and state laws that affect them on a daily basis, the use of reasonable force, the use of deadly-force, brandishing a weapon, and other related topics.
States in yellow require you are also a resident of Idaho for the license to be accepted.
CAUTION: State laws can change at any time as well as their agreement for reciprocity among one another. When traveling, ALWAYS check with local law enforcement to see if your
Idaho
Concealed Weapons License
is accepted. ALWAYS check travel state laws to ensure there are no other regulations you need to be aware of before traveling through that state. Some states do not allow you to carry in a restaurant, others do not allow you to carry in an establishment with a “No Guns Allowed” sign (a separate law and a separate crime), others, will not allow you to carry concealed with “one-in-the-chamber”. ALWAYS familiarize yourself with the states requirement to inform law enforcement you are carrying.
permit to fire 98+ rounds of ammunition in the presence of a firearms instructor. Although all of the classroom instruction has been met and completed during the
portion, many of the “dry-exercises” conducted during class will be repeated at the range using live-fire ammunition. This will re-enforce the importance of dry-fire exercise followed by practical, live-fire practice.
