Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our training courses. If you don’t see your question here, please feel free to contact us.
Do I need my own handgun for this course?
No, you don’t need your own handgun. If you have one, I encourage you to train with what you plan to use or carry. If you don’t have a handgun, rentals are available at no cost, but the range requires you to purchase their ammunition for rental guns.
Currently, my training takes place at various indoor ranges in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and the greater Tampa Bay area, depending on class type and availability. Classroom portions are held either on-site or at a nearby training space.
Private training at other locations, including in-home sessions for families, is available upon request. However, all live fire portions of training must take place at an indoor range. If a range outside of my standard training area (Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Tampa Bay) is requested, I will need to obtain prior permission from that facility before conducting training there.
You’ll need approximately 50 rounds of ammunition for this course. You’re welcome to bring your own, or you can purchase it at the range. If you’re using a rental firearm, the range requires you to purchase their ammunition.
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. A high-neck shirt is recommended to prevent discomfort from ejected brass. Avoid low-cut shirts, open-toed shoes, or loose clothing that could catch on equipment.
The class lasts approximately 3 ½ hours, though timing may vary depending on class size and participation.
Yes. Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Training that can be used as proof of firearms competency when applying for a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License. Final license eligibility is determined by the State of Florida.
Range fees vary depending on location and are paid directly to the range on the day of training.
I understand that plans can change. Your deposit is nonrefundable because it reserves your spot in the class, but if you need to reschedule, just give me at least 48 hours’ notice and I’ll be happy to apply your deposit to another available class date. Rescheduled classes must be completed within 30 days of the original class date. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice and no-shows will forfeit the deposit.
Please bring a government-issued ID and your signed waiver. No loaded firearms or live ammunition are allowed in the classroom portion of the course.
Absolutely! This course is designed for beginners and those looking to build confidence in safe firearm handling. I’ll guide you through everything step by step.
By registering for and participating in any firearms training course with Hartman Tactics, you affirm that you are legally eligible to own, possess, and handle a firearm under federal and Florida state law.
Hartman Tactics does not conduct background checks, and it is the sole responsibility of the participant to ensure they are in compliance with all applicable firearm laws. By enrolling, you certify in good faith that you are not prohibited from possessing or handling a firearm due to any criminal conviction, restraining order, mental health adjudication, or other disqualifying factors as defined by law.
Hartman Tactics assumes no liability for false or misleading statements regarding eligibility, and any violation of this policy may result in immediate removal from training without refund.
