Pima County Women's Introduction to Handguns (Ages 16 & Up)

Instructor: Pima County Staff

Women’s Introduction to Handgun Class is a four-hour handgun introduction that includes classroom instruction and live fire designed to teach the basics of handgun safety to women who have had no experience or limited experience with handguns. The class explains firearms safety rules, safe handgun operation, and gun owner’s responsibilities. It introduces the student to shooting fundamentals such as stance, grip, sight alignment and trigger control. The class concludes with a live fire exercise where the students can practice their shooting fundamentals. Firearms, ammunition, and safety equipment are provided. This course also addresses concerns specific to women such as gun sizing, the manipulation of a firearm’s components, carriage and concealment. Please also note that the lead instructor is a woman, but we will have men assisting as instructors and safety monitors. Please DO NOT bring live ammo into the classroom. Leave live ammo in your car.
