THE COURSE

Ready Aim Firearms Safety encourages all first time firearms enthusiasts to take the full course and test.  We are firm in our belief that there should never be any compromise when it comes to firearms safety and responsible ownership of firearms.  Safe handling, storage, transportation and display of firearms is the law in Canada and knowing this is the responsibility of everyone who chooses to own or acquire firearms.  These skills are learned behaviors that start the day you walk into the Ready Aim Firearms Safety Inc. academy and receive your introduction to firearms safety.  They will stay with you for life.

Courses of instruction are offered at a competitive rate in our spacious academy, designed to promote learning for both adults and young persons alike.  The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (long guns) is 10 hours in duration and is followed by the mandatory, legislated, Canadian Firearms Program written test and a practical gun handling examination.  The cost for this course is $140.00, plus applicable HST and this includes the cost of your examination.

Pre-study is not necessary as you will be taught the entire course content during your day.  However, if you wish to do so,  a review of the vital four "ACTS" relating to how to `PROVE" a firearm safe would be a beneficial aid to your quick understanding of the course theme.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY UNAUTHORISED FIREARMS SAFETY INSTRUCTION AGENCIES

If you choose not to use the services of Ready Aim Firearms Safety Incorporated we encourage you to first verify with your chosen instructor that he/she is designated at law by the Chief Firearms Office to teach the course.

Simply ask your proposed instructor to provide you with their ON# issued by the Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario.  If they cannot, you can easily verify their designation by making an inquiry with the Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario at www.fseso.org or by calling the FSESO Executive Manager at (705) 329-1089.  Paying good money to non-designated persons for firearms safety instruction will result in personal disappointment and unnecessary licencing delays due to the fact that your training will not be recognized and you will need to re-take the course before being issued a firearms licence.   You may also loose your initial tuition money.

READY AIM FIREARMS SAFETY is a recognized firearms safety training academy that uses ONLY CFO designated, qualified and insured Canadian Firearms Safety Course instructors.


FIREARMS & AMMUNITION in CLASS

Ready Aim Firearms Safety Inc. provides a full selection of both restricted and non-restricted firearms for training purposes.  Although all guns are real, they have been rendered incapable of shooting by a professional Gunsmith.  In addition, all ammunition used in training is manufactured “Dummy” ammunition or real ammunition that has been drilled out, inspected and approved (also by a professional Gunsmith) as being incapable of firing.


PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY FIREARMS OR AMMUNITION TO CLASS WITH YOU!
