*** All firearms need to be unloaded and in appropriate gun bags or boxes. The exception for our training events is if you are carrying your concealed firearm on your body like you always do, then leave it in place on your body. Find a Range Safety Officer and tell them that you need to unload your defensive ammunition before the event starts. They will take you to a safe area and talk you through the process. We don't want you handling guns at or inside of your car ***
