HANDGUN SAFETY

 PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE APPLICATION AND UNDERSTAND IT

The SRGC handgun safety class takes a maximum of 12 students per month and will be held if we have a minimum of 6 students. This ensures we have adequate one on one coaching staff for the live fire portion. Registration closes by the 17th of each month. You will be notified by the scheduling coordinator if class is cancelled and given the option of taking the next available class.

Thank you for your interest in the handgun safety class offered by the Siuslaw Rod & Gun Club (SRGC) and Florence Police Department. (FPD) The information presented during this class is beneficial for all levels of experience with firearms however it is primarily presented to a beginner shooter. A safety class is required prior to applying for a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon. This class meets the guidelines set forth by the State of Oregon in ORS 166.291.

You must be at least 21 years of age and not convicted of a felony to apply for a CHL at the Sheriff’s office in the county where you live. However, you may still take the class if under 21 and have not been convicted of a felony to receive a certificate if you pass. If under 18, your parent or guardian must accompany you to the class and sign the waiver of liability.

You are an officially registered attendee only after you receive a CONFIRMATION EMAIL and instructions from the HGSC Scheduling Coordinator. Once you have been confirmed for a class, your fee is non-refundable.
