About Bay Area Firearms

Bay Area Firearms offers hands-on rifle, handgun, CPR, first aid, and concealed carry training designed for real-world readiness.

Bay Area Firearms, located in Burlingame, California, offers a range of hands-on safety, marksmanship, and certification courses tailored for beginners through advanced shooters. Courses include First Aid, several CPR/AED options, handgun and rifle fundamentals, precision and AR-15 specialty classes, a Three Gun Tactical Shoot, and state-specific concealed carry permit instruction for Utah and Florida.

Training sessions vary in length from one hour to full-day programs and combine classroom instruction with live-fire practice where specified. The First Aid and CPR/AED Certification courses are structured as four-hour sessions open to students aged 12 and up. The Handgun Safety Certificate course includes a 3.5-hour classroom component plus one hour of live fire, and some advanced rifle and tactical classes provide extended live-fire and marksmanship training.

The Utah/Florida Concealed Firearms Permit course is an eight-hour program that requires an NRA Basic Pistol Certificate and incorporates legal instruction plus a live-fire marksmanship test. The Three Gun Tactical Shoot is an intensive 12-hour arena course that focuses on rapid fire, reloading, and malfunction clearing with low student-to-teacher ratios.
