Kansas Firearm
Training Center

Our Mission

One of the Kansas State Rifle Association’s core principles is to promote firearm training and build a culture of firearm safety and competence in our state.

Passage of Constitutional Carry in Kansas allowed law-abiding firearm owners to discreetly exercise their right to keep and bear arms for self defense as envisioned by the founding fathers when they drafted the Constitution.

The elimination of concealed carry fees made the benefits of reciprocity and more available to many more Kansans who previously couldn’t afford the high cost of a permit.

In addition, Kansas law contains castle doctrine protections, robust burden-of-proof standards, a defensive-display statute, and a statewide preemption law that prevents local governments from abusing firearm owners through a patchwork of confusing and unconstitutional restrictions.

Kansans today enjoy wide protection of their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms due to decades of hard work by the KSRA, its supporters, and legislative allies dedicated to defending our Second Amendment freedoms.

In a state with exceptional firearm protections, a vibrant outdoor, hunting, and shooting community, and a shooting heritage that goes back to our state’s inception, it’s easy to take things for granted.

It’s our duty as responsible, law-abiding firearm owners to ensure that more Kansans from every walk of life have the opportunity to learn how to shoot, handle firearms safely, use a firearm for self defense, understand and appreciate our hunting and shooting heritage, and know and respect our laws.

Seeing an ever-increasing need for access to quality firearm training and safety information, the KSRA Board of Directors chose to re-establish a training committee with new members and new leadership focused on building a culture of firearm safety and competence in Kansas.

Over time, through the promotion of firearm safety principles and efforts to foster firearm training, fun shoots, and special training days at the range with exceptional instructors, we hope to make basic firearm safety common knowledge for every Kansan.

As a one-stop-shop for finding a certified firearm instructor, a firearm safety class, a local gun club, an indoor or outdoor range near you, a local gun shop or gunsmith, or even a firearm-friendly business or venue, we hope you’ll make the revamped and rebranded Kansas Firearm Training Center your new home for firearm information in Kansas.

To have the Kansas Firearm Training Center feature an upcoming training opportunity, public training event, certified instructor, or other training-related news, please send us a message through our contact form. We cannot post every opportunity submitted, but our goal is to become a central hub for those looking to find quality firearm training in Kansas.
