NRA Home Firearm Safety

The NRA's Home Firearm Safety course is a non-shooting course that teaches participants the basic knowledge, skill, and attitude necessary for the safe handling and storage of firearms and ammunition in the home. This is a four hour course for safe gun handling that is conducted in the class room only.

Participants are taught the NRA's three rules for safe gun handling; primary causes of gun accidents; cleaning; care; safe storage of firearms in the home; and the benefits of becoming an active participant in the shooting sports. Various gun safes will be discussed along with tips on choosing the correct safe.

OTC and our cadre of certified instructors place a special emphasis on children and their learning of gun safety. We encourage the entire ffamily to attend this course together. Parents must accompany children under 18 years of age.

Participants will receive the NRA Home Firearm Safety handbook, the NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, a Basic Firearm Training brochure, and a course completion certificate.

There are no pre-requisites for taking this course and you do not need to own a firearm in order to attend.

The course fee of $45 covers the above materials and instructor fee.  The fee for couples is $75.  Children ages 10 to 15 are free when accompanied by a parent.
