Firearms Introduction for ages 10+
Our Family Pistol Safety Class. Children’s safety is always be a top priority, and when it comes to firearms, there are several reasons why ensuring children are safe around them is paramount.
Education is key with anyone, including kids, to make sure they are can handle and use properly firearms when the need is present to prevent accidents and injuries.
Educating children about firearms can instill in them a sense of responsibility and respect for these powerful tools. By teaching children how to properly handle firearms and emphasizing the importance of safe use, we can help them develop a mature understanding of the gravity of the situation.
Ultimately, ensuring that children are safe around firearms is essential for both their own safety and the safety of those around them. By emphasizing the importance of safe firearm use and providing children with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle firearms responsibly, we can help them grow into responsible and respectful members of society and future stewards of the 2A.
Introducing our Family Class (4-6 hours)
For kids ages 10 and up.
Here at Coffee and Casings to help introduce older kids to the dangers (as well as safety aspect) of firearms we have our family class. With only 5 kids per class (and at least 1 parent per family required to attend at no extra cost), we will go over:
Firearm Operation
Safe Function
Safe Operation
Simulated Fire using dummy rounds
Live Fire (1 child at a time when this is occurring with parent, Instructor and RSO present)
Continuing making firearms a taboo subject only makes kids curious. Let’s start the journey by introducing them how to safely handle a firearm when adults are present. As the child’s parent it is up to you to continue educating (as well as making sure your firearms are safe) but we will help intro the topic with our class.
Cost is $100 per child. Parents are included in this cost and at least 1 parent per family is required to attend.

Instructor for class
Gabe Richmond started teaching and instructing people in the early 2000’s and has over 20 years of experience in training. He has a combined almost 15 years of experience in local and federal law enforcement. His background in firearms stared when he joined the Army in 2008. After a brief deployment, he directed and conducted operations for the Department of the Army Civilian Policing (DACP) and Military Police operations on Fort Polk as the Operations Officer and Watch Commander. During that time, he received specialized military training in police weapons and tactics.
After the Army, he joined Gwinnett County Police Department (GCPD) and served as an officer for over 9 years. While serving as police officer, he received ongoing police training related to his role as a road officer. He eventually became a Master Police Officer (MPO) and a Field Training Officer (FTO) and has over 3000 logged hours of training his fellow officers. During his time as an officer, he had been involved in multiple critical indents, resulting in significant arrests and convictions. He has his Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification which allows him to teach and develop police related material to other officers and give credit for such training. He has since left GCPD and continued his law enforcement profession in a different capacity.
His experience as an officer and a soldier gives him a unique perspective into the functions, tactics, and principles behind the use of firearms. He has experience in multiple distinct platforms ranging from military to civilian rated weapons. As one of the instructors, he looks forward to meeting people on a personal level and helping people develop their skills and be comfortable with their firearms from the ground up.
