Firearm safety is of absolute importance to us. There are several rules that must be followed for everyone’s safety. 

1. One of our Range Safety Officers (RSOs) will greet you and clear any handgun you have with you.

2. All handguns present must be unloaded. No attendees are allowed to have ammunition anywhere in the room. Please leave all ammunition in your vehicle or with the ADTA Range Safety Officer.

3. Handling of firearms must take place while being supervised and directed by an ADTA instructor. When not taking part in an exercise, please keep your handgun on the practice tables (or in a holster or case).
