Live Fire Qualification Session
We'll help you meet live fire requirements!
- Time
- 1 Hour
- Price
- $120 cash
- Details
- Passing a live-fire training qualification is now required by the state of Massachusetts for all LTC applicants. Boston Gun & Rifle Association "BGRA" provides live-fire certifications for students who have previously attended a basic firearms safety course that did not include the live-fire qualification or for students who are having difficulty passing the live-fire qualification.
Our certified instructors will review safe firearm handling and the loading/unloading procedures with you before you fire a 9mm semi-auto pistol or .38 special Ruger-Six revolver.
You will receive a letter that will verify to your licensing authority that you have completed a live-fire exercise from Boston Gun & Rifle Association.
Note: You must provide a copy of the basic firearms safety course certificate you received from a previous class and your ID to verify your identity. - To Sign Up:

California Non-Resident CCW Qualification Session
Qualify for your CCW permit in California, without the travel.
- Time
- 30 minutes
- Price
- $100
- Details
- Starting April 22, 2025, California has begun issuing out-of-state CCW permits. California Penal Code section 26165, subdivision (a)(6) requires applicants to complete a live‐fire shooting exercise for each handgun they intend to carry in California. The live-fire course must be completed with a qualified instructor. We are now offering to conduct the required live-fire course for prospective applicants!
- The actual test requirements will vary depending on the county you are applying with. Please check your county's website for details.
- You will have 3 attempts to pass and a time limit of 30 minutes. Additional attempts will require a $25 fee. You may have up to five total attempts per session.
- You must bring each pistol you intend to carry in California and pass the test with each one. If you bring one pistol, you may use all three attempts with that pistol. If you bring three pistols, you will have one attempt per pistol.
- The amount of ammo you need will depend on which CA county you are applying with and on the number of attempts you perform. You must purchase the ammo from the range as BGRA is a 100% lead-free range.

The qualification session is not the first step! You MUST have started the CA CCW permit application process and received approval from the licensing authority to move forward with the live-fire test before scheduling a session with us. View the CCW application guide below for more information.
