01 · Is it right for you

Range training for Florida armed security officers.

GunSafety4U teaches the firearms portion of Florida’s Class G license: the 8-hour G28 range day for new licensees and the 4-hour G4 annual requalification for current license holders. We also provide the written test. Our G28 and G4 curricula were reviewed and approved by the NRA Law Enforcement Division. The G28 range day is $159 and the G4 is $129.

A good fit if

  • You hold a Florida Class D or C license and need your Class G to work armed.

  • You’ve finished the 20 classroom hours online and need the 8-hour range day and the written test.

  • Your Class G is due for its annual requalification. The G4 keeps your license current.
