M

Marcus

Needed to take a gun safety course for court and was worried about finding one that would actually be accepted. Courseable made it simple. The content on safe storage and the four cardinal rules was really well done. My court accepted the certificate with no issues at all.

T

Terri

I'm in California and was glad this course included a module on CA firearms laws. A lot of the other courses I looked at were super generic. This one covered the assault weapons rules, storage requirements, and waiting periods that are specific to my state. Very thorough.

J

James

Took this for a court requirement and honestly went in expecting to just click through it. But the instructor clearly knows his stuff — the modules on safe storage options and ammunition types were surprisingly practical. I actually learned things I'll use as a gun owner.

C

Carlos

Filing from Florida and this was the only course I found that covered Stand Your Ground and Florida-specific carry laws. Most other online courses are one-size-fits-all. Finished in one afternoon on my phone, certificate was instant, and the price was fair. Court accepted it right away.

N

Nicole

Super easy to use. I did the whole gun safety course on my phone during breaks at work. The safe storage module was really informative — I didn't know there were so many lock options. Had my certificate downloaded the same day I started. Great experience.

R

Robert

Good course for the money. The federal firearms laws module was especially useful — I didn't fully understand the Brady Act or NICS background check process before. You also get state-specific modules included at no extra charge, which none of the other courses I looked at offered.

D

Danielle

What sold me was the money-back guarantee if the court doesn't accept it. I was nervous about doing a gun safety course online but the court acceptance guarantee gave me confidence. Finished the 4-hour course in one sitting, got my certificate, and my attorney submitted it with no problems.

Everything You Need to Know

Detailed answers about our gun safety course

Will my court accept this gun safety certificate?

Yes, 100% guaranteed. Our 4-hour gun safety course is accepted by courts in all 50 states for court-ordered firearm safety education requirements.

Our guarantee: If your court doesn't accept our certificate for any reason, we'll give you a full refund — no questions asked.

What will I learn in this gun safety course?

Our curriculum is created by Jeremy Poole, a New York State DCJS Firearms Instructor with 13 years of law enforcement experience and NRA Pistol Instructor certification. You'll cover:

  • The Four Cardinal Rules of firearms safety
  • Safe storage methods (gun safes, trigger locks, cable locks, biometric options)
  • How different firearms and ammunition types work
  • Fundamentals of safe shooting (grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control)
  • Federal firearms laws (Gun Control Act, Brady Act, NICS background checks)
  • Your state's firearms laws — dedicated modules available for CA, FL, TX, NY, NJ, IL & MA (more states added over time)

Each module includes interactive scenarios, personal reflections, and knowledge checks to demonstrate learning.

How long does the course take?

The course is 4 hours. Most students complete it in one sitting. You can also stop and resume anytime — your progress is automatically saved.

Can I take this course on my phone or tablet?

Yes — our course works on any device. Over 50% of our students complete their course entirely on their phone.

You can switch between devices anytime — your progress is automatically saved. No app download required.

What if I fail a quiz? Can I retake it?

Each module includes a knowledge check, plus there's content review throughout. The questions are based directly on the course material, so if you've been following along, you'll be well-prepared.

If you'd like extra peace of mind, you can add Unlimited Retakes when purchasing — this lets you retake the final test as many times as needed.

What information is included on the certificate?

Your Certificate of Completion includes:

  • Your full legal name
  • Course title (Gun Safety Course)
  • Course hours (4 hours)
  • Completion date
  • Unique certificate ID for verification
  • Provider information (Courseable contact details)

The certificate is a professional PDF you can print or email directly to your attorney, probation officer, or court clerk.

Is this a concealed carry or hunter education course?

No. This course is designed specifically for individuals who have been court-ordered to complete gun safety or firearm safety education. It does NOT satisfy requirements for:

  • License to Carry (LTC)
  • Concealed Carry Permit (CCW)
  • Hunter education certification

If your court order says "gun safety course" or "firearm safety course," this course will meet your requirement.

I'm not in one of the listed states. Is this course still right for me?

Yes. The 4 core modules and Federal Firearms Laws module cover everything you need for court compliance in any state.

The state-specific modules (CA, FL, TX, NY, NJ, IL, MA) are included as bonus content — they give you deeper knowledge of your state's particular laws, but they're not required to earn your certificate. We're adding more states over time.

Can I get proof of enrollment before completing the course?

Yes — your Proof of Enrollment letter is emailed automatically as soon as you enroll.

This official letter confirms that you've enrolled and includes your name, enrollment date, course title, and expected completion timeframe. Many attorneys use this to show the court their client is taking proactive steps.
