About this Event
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office offers a Citizen’s Firearm Safety Course for citizens of Santa Rosa County who are interested in learning basic handgun safety. This course can be used to fulfill one of the requirements for a Florida concealed weapons permit. The class will last approximately 4 hours in a two part training , which will include a classroom portion to begin May 30, 2025 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in building #5 at the range, as well as time on the firearm range May 31, 2025 to begin at 8:00 am to 10:00 am. The time on the range is to practically apply the information learned from the classroom session. This is not a “how to shoot” class, as its emphasis is on firearm safety and responsible gun ownership.
There is no cost for this course, but you must provide the following:
- Your own handgun and 25 rounds of ammunition
- You can share your handgun if you come with a friend/spouse, but be sure to bring enough ammunition for both.
UPON ARRIVAL TO THE CLASS, LEAVE YOUR UNLOADED HANDGUN LOCKED IN YOUR VEHICLE. THE INSTRUCTOR WILL GIVE THE PROCEDURE ON WHEN AND HOW TO BRING THE HANDGUN INTO THE RANGE.
Your handgun must be in a safe and operable condition. For safety reasons, a brought handgun may be denied use if the instructor deems it unsafe. If a revolver type handgun is to be used, it must be double/single-action. NO “single-action only” revolvers are allowed.
Eye and ear protection will be available at the range, however it is highly recommended to bring your own. Dress code for the class includes no open-toed shoes (sandals, flip-flops, etc) and no sleeve-less shirts (tank tops, muscle shirts, etc). Despite the Florida heat, it is highly recommended to wear long pants and long sleeve shirts for protection. If you have already attended this class or have a firearms permit, you do not need to attend this class.
Also, please be advised that registering for this course does not guarantee you a spot in the class. All registrations are received, sent for background checks and have to be approved by Firearms Instructors or SRSO Administrators. You will receive an email confirmation if you are approved to attend the class. The email will include your confirmation letter and directions to the firearm range. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Santa Rosa Sheriff's Office Range Master at (850) 983-1244.
