Firearms training is more than just learning to shoot—it’s about building confidence, mastering safety, and developing skills that last a lifetime. In Massachusetts, where strict regulations govern firearm ownership, getting proper training is essential for anyone looking to obtain a License to Carry (LTC) or Firearms Identification (FID) Card. At our school, we’ve spent over 15 years helping thousands of students become safer, more capable firearm users through professional instruction in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. As we roll out our 2025 course lineup, we’re excited to share why our programs stand out and how they can help you achieve your goals, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shooter.
A Legacy of Excellence in Firearms Education
For more than a decade and a half, our school has been a trusted name in Massachusetts for firearms training. Our team of certified NRA instructors brings a wealth of experience, with many being former Marines, retired law enforcement officers, or graduates of prestigious programs like the Sig Sauer Academy. Their real-world knowledge and passion for teaching create a unique learning environment that’s both professional and approachable. Whether you’re stepping into a range for the first time or refining advanced techniques, our instructors meet you where you are, ensuring you leave every class more skilled and confident.
Our students often tell us that the experience feels like joining a community. From beginners to competitive shooters, everyone is united by a shared commitment to safety and responsibility. This sense of camaraderie, combined with our instructors’ expertise, has made our school a go-to destination for firearms education in Massachusetts.
Meeting Massachusetts LTC and FID Requirements
Massachusetts has some of the strictest firearms laws in the country, and obtaining a License to Carry or FID Card requires completing a state-approved training course. Our Certified Massachusetts LTC Course, built on the core curriculum of the NRA Home Firearms Safety Course, fulfills these requirements while going beyond the basics. This four-hour class, which includes live-fire practice, covers everything you need to know to safely handle, store, and use firearms. It’s designed to be engaging and accessible, even for those who’ve never held a gun before.
What sets our LTC course apart is the emphasis on practical, hands-on learning. You won’t just sit through lectures—you’ll get real experience on the range, guided by instructors who prioritize safety and personalized attention. By the end of the course, you’ll not only meet the state’s requirements but also feel prepared to carry and use a firearm responsibly.
