Live Fire Learning provides focused, hands-on firearms training and set-safety courses in Glendale, California. The organization delivers a mix of practical range time and film‑set prop gun instruction across three core programs: a relaxed pistol practice lab for alumni and returning participants, a Prop Gun Set Safety “Gun Wrangler” course led by Dutch Merrick — a 40‑year industry veteran — and an LFL Instructor Day for volunteer and staff training.
Courses emphasize safe handling, live fire exercises, and real‑world drills designed to build confidence and practical competence. The Pistol Practice Lab offers low‑pressure range time with steel target shooting and supportive coaching. The Prop Gun Set Safety course places students in film‑set scenarios under experienced supervision to learn prop gun management and armored crew workflows. The LFL Instructor Day focuses on range setup, gear handling, coaching techniques, and team safety protocols in a collaborative training environment.
Instruction and course structure are presented in third‑person, professional settings with a priority on safety and skill development. Live Fire Learning’s curriculum combines live fire practice with prop gun handling to serve civilians, aspiring armorers, and crew members who seek applicable, scenario‑based instruction. Course descriptions and leadership details available for each offering allow prospective participants to choose the experience that best matches their goals.
