In Massachusetts, live fire training is not yet strictly enforced for the basic firearms safety certification required for your License to Carry (LTC). However, responsible gun owners understand its critical importance for building real-world confidence, safe handling skills, and marksmanship fundamentals.

At Advanced Defense Concepts, our Live Fire 101 is a focused, private one-on-one session with a Certified Master Pistol Instructor. You’ll train safely with both a revolver and a popular caliber semi-automatic handgun.

Upon successful completion, you will receive a Live Fire Certification that can accompany your MA LTC class documentation — providing valuable proof of practical training for your application and your own peace of mind.

What You'll Learn
• Range Safety Protocols and etiquette.
• Completing and signing a written safety brief.
• Observing the range before entry and maintaining proper attitude and movement.
• Fundamentals of safe firearm handling (loading, unloading, and making the firearm safe).
• Proper shooting stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger press, and follow-through.
• How to diagnose and improve your shot groups on target.
