Basic Firearm Safety Course

The Tewksbury Rod & Gun Club offers a MA State Police approved Basic Firearm Safety course to both its membership and the general public. In order to obtain a License to Carry (LTC) a firearm in the state of Massachusetts, you are required to attend a certified basic firearm safety course. Our course (LTC-007), referred to as the “NRA Home Safety Course“, is approved by the State Police and a certificate will be issued to you as proof of completion.

• Instructors will provide hands on learning in the following areas:
  • safe firearm handling
  • firearm parts and operation
  • ammunition and its function
  • shooting fundamentals
  • how to select, clean, and store a firearm
  • overview of the MA Firearm law
  • live fire practical on the club’s fifty foot indoor range

The course is typically held the 3rd Saturday of the month between September and April, except December, as long as a minimum of 5 people register.  The day will consist of about eight hours, including breaks and 30 minutes for lunch, running from 8:30 am to about 5:00 pm. Coffee & donuts will be provided in the morning, and hotdogs with fries will be provided for lunch.

The class costs $85 for TR&G Club members or $125 for non-club members. Immediate family (husband, wife, son, daughter) of TR&G Club members are also eligible for a reduced price ($85).
