Couples Introduction to Firearms

Learn the Basics as a Couple

Start Together

If you and your spouse or partner are thinking about owning a firearm, this two-hour class is a great way to begin on the same page. You’ll learn the fundamentals side by side, ask questions as they come up, and leave with the same knowledge and the same safety habits. Our DOJ-certified staff lead the class in a hands-on classroom setting, and no experience is needed. The class is $325 per couple, which includes both of your Firearm Safety Certificate exams and cards, the certificate California requires before you can buy a firearm. Classes are limited to 8 couples so every pair gets individual attention from the instructors.

What You'll Learn

Your instructors start with the fundamentals: how handguns, rifles, and shotguns operate, the different types of ammunition, and the safe handling habits that apply every time you pick up a firearm. You’ll also go through California’s laws on transporting and storing firearms, so you both know exactly what’s required to stay compliant from your first day as owners.

Learning together means you can practice and discuss what you’re learning as a pair, and you’ll both come away with the same understanding of safe handling and storage. That shared foundation helps when you’re deciding on a first firearm, setting household safety rules, or planning your next step, whether that’s range time or more training.

Pass the exam at the end of class and you’ll each leave with your own Firearm Safety Certificate, which is valid for five years. Each of you needs to bring a valid California driver’s license or ID card, and you must be at least 18 on the day of class.
