Introduction
James Dobson is a firearms safety instructor with over 55 years experience. He teaches both Canadian Firearms Safety (PAL) and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety, a Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) club level instructor and a certified range officer.
James is a Fur Harvester and Conservation (trapping) instructor with more than 60 years trapping experience.
About Me
James is an avid hunter, trapper and firearms enthusiast. His classes are taught from a wealth of personal experience as well as from the FSESO curriculum. Hands on training is the most important aspect of his classes; you will be required to show over and over again that you understand and he will make sure you do before you continue. He makes certain each student is equipped with the knowledge to safely own and handle firearms. Whether you are new to the world of firearms or an old hand familiar with them, you will come away with a better understanding not only of firearms but also the legislation surrounding them.
About My Courses
Obtaining your PAL is the first step towards owning a firearm. Once you have completed the course and passed both the written and practical exams, you can register to take the restricted course. Canadian Border Services require all applicants to have completed the PAL and the restricted courses BEFORE applying for employment. Security companies also prefer applicants to have these courses.
All of my classes are a maximum of 6 students with one instructor, with a minimum of 8 hours of instruction (more hours if you need them) which does not include breaks or testing time.
If you wish to take Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety course (R-PAL), after you have completed and passed the PAL, please speak to me as I will teach this course on a one-to-one basis at a time convenient to both of us.
Please call 613-382-2885 to get your name on the waiting list. This list grows quickly, so don't hesitate, get your name on the list ASAP.
