Civil Advantage

Safety is our primary concern and overriding priority. All classes are taught by highly qualified instructors in a tightly controlled environment. Firearms are a serious matter and are dealt with seriously at Civil Advantage.

Safety Policies

Each new participant will qualify in the safety orientation to be admitted to shoot.

Orientations (or qualifications) will only have to be completed once.
This would be 20 minutes of range etiquette and movement safety.
Each course will start for new inductees 30 minutes early to perform the “one time” orientation.

Safety officers will observe all conduct at all times. Attendees committing infractions deemed not immediately dangerous will receive one warning with the next infraction resulting in removal from the range for the day and forfeiture of the day of training. Any attendee committing an infraction deemed dangerous will be removed from the range and forfeit the days training.

REFUNDS ARE NOT PROVIDED FOR REASON OF EXPULSION FROM THE RANGE

A shooter will never place their finger on the trigger or in the trigger guard unless they have acquired their target and it is safe to shoot.
A shooter will control the muzzle direction of his or her firearm at all times.
A shooter will not load a firearm while the line is occupied or persons are going forward.
A shooter may not load or maintain a loaded firearm while not on the line or in a ready position.
