 FIREARM TRAINING & CONCEALED-CARRY CLASSES

All who Keep & Bear Arms have a moral obligation to become trained and proficient in their safe and responsible use. To that end, the PASA Training Division provides an avenue to obtain such training, from novice to expert levels. All civilian firearms instruction classes, training schools, and concealed-carry license qualification courses at PASA Park are provided by certified independent instructors, under the oversight of the PASA Training Division. Instructors schedule these classes & courses by arrangement with PASA Park. PASA itself does not provide such instruction as a club activity. Scheduled classes & courses are posted on the PASA website calendar.

Citizens and certified instructors interested in training classes at PASA Park, or PASA members interested in arranging for specific training courses, should be aware of the following guidelines:

  1. PASA Park is not a public shooting range. Only PASA club members may use firearms at PASA Park, including all students in any schools or instructional courses conducted at PASA Park. Membership requires a current notarized PASA Membership Agreement & Waiver form. Free notary service is available at the Park.
  2. As an incentive to obtain training, PASA offers a special $25 annual membership rate to students taking instructional classes (standard annual fee is $40). Students who are already PASA Members will have their membership extended for one year past their current expiration date for that same $25. PASA Life Members will be credited with a donation to the club General Fund for that same $25.
  3. Instructors include the $25 PASA membership in the fee they charge each student who takes their course, and pay that amount to PASA in addition to the fee for use of PASA Park. This eliminates the need for each student to make a separate $25 payment.
  4. Instructors pay a flat fee of $100 which includes use of the PASA Conference Center classroom plus one range venue for live-fire training.  The PASA Park Training Range may be utilized for such training if it is not otherwise scheduled for official law-enforcement or military training.  Additional or extended arrangements may be negotiated utilizing other PASA facilities (such as the Dark House/Shoot House, or USPSA-type props/targets).
  5. All instructors offering firearms training courses at PASA Park must provide PASA with proof of certification to teach the specific classes or training they conduct. All instructors must also provide PASA with proof of liability insurance, and such insurance must extend to the host facility/landowner. All instructors must also sign a formal rental and liability-assumption contract with PASA.

For specific information concerning options and scheduling for firearms training classes/courses at PASA Park, contact the Training Division Director. Instructors interested in providing classes at PASA Park should contact PASA’s Vice President/Administration, Kathy Lumley, at pasainfo@pasapark.com or (217) 257-7199.
