Gunsite has been following the recommendations from medical providers for several weeks. While we have always had a clean facility, our efforts to keep things disinfected remain strong.

The Governor’s Stay Home order is rescinded effective May 15. While we have remained open and training as an exempt business, it is now even easier for you with hotels, restaurants, etc.

Facilities will continue to be disinfected regularly by staff.
All clients and staff have their temperature taken each morning.
We will maintain social distancing as much as we safely can.

The September and October 250 classes are sold out however the two November 250 classes still have openings. We look forward to seeing you back at Gunsite.

Gunsite offers firearm training to elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the US. We knowledgeable Americans take our rights very seriously, and the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States guarantees each citizen the right to keep and bear arms. However, with each right comes an equal responsibility to discharge that right effectively, legally, safely and within the bounds of morality. Rights demand responsibility. Owning a piano does not make one a pianist any more than owning a handgun makes one a good shooter. Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills.
