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.

While we have remained open and training as an exempt business, it is now even easier for you with hotels, restaurants, etc.

Facilities are 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.
Currently all classes are open for registration.

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.
