Education and Training
The Liberal Gun Club was founded in large part with the goal in mind of bringing firearm training and education in a non-partisan format to the public
Over the last several years, we have worked with professionals in the industry to develop three training classes that are now offered to the general public, with an emphasis on real world needs.
This short class is designed to help new shooters form a baseline in safety and marksmanship, helping their first time at the range be safe and fun. It’s specifically for novice shooters who may already have purchased a firearm but aren’t sure where to go to find out how to use it. For those that don’t have a firearm, your professional instructor will have several options to try while you are doing the course of fire after the classroom portion.
Time: 4 hours
This is the next class in our series, and is accepted training in Massachusetts for the “License to Carry”, and may meet other state training requirements for firearm ownership. This class goes more in depth and will give the student an overview of various types of firearms, including rifle, pistol, and shotgun, but will only have live fire for pistol due to time constraints. In addition to firearm familiarization, other topics include maintenance as well as an overview of federal and state gun laws. This class covers the content in our Introduction to Range Safety course, and is suitable for beginners.
Time: 8 hours
Defensive Pistol Fundamentals
Our defensive shooting program is designed to build upon general safety, operation, and maintenance knowledge to help students build the basic shooting competencies needed to respond to lethal threats in surprising and chaotic worst-case scenarios. Students will learn how to train for these incidents by leveraging the body’s natural reactions in ways that increase the chances of success with the least time, effort, and energy as possible.
Time: 8 hours
