1. Class Acknowledgment

I understand that the Children’s Firearms & Safety Fundamentals Class is an educational safety course designed to teach children age-appropriate firearm safety concepts, safe handling habits, situational awareness, and responsible decision-making.

I acknowledge that this class does not include live fire, live ammunition use, or shooting activities. Training may include demonstrations and the handling of inert, unloaded, disabled, replica, or training firearms under direct instructor supervision.

2. Assumption of Risk

I understand that participation in any educational or physical activity carries some level of inherent risk. Potential risks may include, but are not limited to:

• Minor accidental injury from training equipment
• Emotional discomfort or anxiety related to safety topics
• Slips, trips, falls, or other general classroom-related injuries
• Improper handling of training equipment despite supervision

I understand that Gallatin Community Gun Club prioritizes safety and that instructors will provide supervision, instruction, and safety guidance throughout the class. However, I acknowledge that risks cannot be completely eliminated.

I voluntarily allow my child to participate and assume responsibility for risks associated with participation.

3. Participant Expectations

I understand and agree that my child is expected to:

• Follow all instructor directions immediately
• Participate respectfully and safely
• Follow all firearm safety rules taught during class
• Handle any training equipment only when instructed to do so
• Inform instructors if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe

I understand that unsafe or disruptive behavior may result in removal from the class if necessary to maintain a safe learning environment.

5. Medical Authorization

In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize GCGC instructors, staff, or volunteers to seek emergency medical treatment for my child if I cannot be reached immediately. I understand that I am financially responsible for any resulting medical expenses.

I grant permission to Gallatin Community Gun Club (GCGC) to photograph or record me and my family during this class for educational, promotional, or informational purposes.
