3. Waiver and Release

Student hereby waives, for themselves and for their executors, personal representatives, administrators, assignees, heirs, and next of kin, any and all rights and claims for damages, losses, demands, or causes of action of any kind that Student now has or may hereafter have against Released Parties.

This waiver includes, without limitation, claims arising from:

  • The death of Student;
  • Any injury, damage, illness, or loss suffered by Student or Student’s property;
  • The course of instruction;
  • The Premises, including any latent condition or defect;
  • Student’s presence on or use of the Premises; and
  • The use of ammunition and the handling or discharge of firearms.

Student expressly releases Released Parties from any and all such claims and liabilities.

This release includes claims arising from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties, but does not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent prohibited by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Released Parties shall not be liable for any injury, death, illness, property damage, or loss arising out of or related to Student’s participation in training or presence on the Premises.

Student further agrees that violations of applicable rules, policies, or instructions may result in immediate removal from the Premises without refund.

5. Broad Scope and Severability

This waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.

No remedy conferred by any provision is exclusive; all remedies are cumulative. Election of one remedy does not waive any other remedy. This waiver binds Student and their executors, personal representatives, administrators, assignees, heirs, and next of kin.

6. Assumption of Risk

Student acknowledges that handling, use, and presence of firearms, ammunition, and related equipment involve inherent and significant risks, including serious bodily injury, death, and property damage.

This applies to all participation in the course and activities on the Premises, including firearms instruction, handling and discharge of firearms, and firing of live ammunition.

Failure to comply constitutes a material breach and may result in immediate removal without refund. Compliance with all verbal and written instructions provided by instructors is mandatory.

8. Release and Indemnity for Rule Violations

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Student agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Released Parties from any claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from failure to comply with firearm safety rules, negligent or reckless conduct, or misuse of firearms.

9. Legal Eligibility Certification

Student represents, warrants, and certifies that they are not prohibited under any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or court order from possessing, handling, receiving, or using firearms or ammunition.

Without limitation, Student is not prohibited due to conviction, pending charge, restraining/protective order, mental health adjudication, immigration status, or other legal disability. Student agrees to immediately notify Instructor if prohibited at any time before or during participation.

Any false statement, misrepresentation, or omission constitutes a material breach and may result in removal and referral to authorities.
