Certified RSOs looking to become a Chief RSO must take a course put on by an NRA Training Counselor who also holds the Chief RSO certification. 

This 14-hour course is presented in two parts: Basic Instructor Training (BIT) and NRA Chief Range Safety Officer training. Each candidate will be asked to prove how long along it has been since BIT was last taken.

Sessions include standard operating procedures, inspections, emergency procedures, firearm stoppages and malfunctions, safety briefings. 

Students must demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises and completing an open book exam. The exam must be passed by a minimum score of 90 percent.

Once the course is completed the RSO will be upgraded to a NRA Chief Range Safety Officer.

Candidates would be wise to review their original RSO student handbook and their BIT manual prior to attending class. It is expected that you will know the material fluently and utilize TPI while completing your projects and teaching assignments.

The training will be conducted at the Firearm Exchange Gun Range (30305 Schoolcraft Ave, Livonia, MI) on Sunday, March 26th, 2017 and will promptly start at 10am EST. No live fire exercises. No live ammo in the classroom. A projector will be available for your use.

Livonia Detroit Area Michigan Concealed Pistol License Class - Sat. Feb. 11th, 2017

Livonia Detroit Area Michigan Concealed Pistol License Class - Sat. Feb. 11th, 2017


Start Your 2017 Personal Safety Goals Off With A Bang!

Next CPL CLASS of 2017 - February 11th, 2017 - 10am Start

We are pleased to announce our first public Michigan Concealed Pistol License CCW/CPL Class of the new year! So, if you have a desire to qualify for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL), so that you can become safe, register for our next class.


Everyone claims to be the best. I am going to show you why we are the best.

Our classroom sizes are limited to ensure a proper learning environment. You will be comfortable asking questions that are most pertinent to your situation. We understand that being stuffed in a sardine can with 50 other students leaves much to be desired.

Our legal module is taught by a credible practicing criminal defense attorney. The legal module will NOT consist of an attorney - who never actually practiced law - lecturing on your duties, rights, and responsibilities under the law on a DVD.


Your safety and freedom deserve much better. Other providers, if they teach the law at all, only offer up their unprofessional and untested opinions. Our attorney is also a regular subject matter expert featured on the news and local talk shows.

I daily receive phone calls from students who took the $50 classes and short-changed themselves. The irony is that is that instead of calling their original trainer, they end up calling me. By this time, all I can do is refer them to competent counsel and hope that the amount of trouble they get into is minimized.

You have a choice: pay just a little more now for a superior class or pay a ton more later.


We provide one-on-one shooting supervision in the shooting booth. We understand that you need expert instruction on the safe operation of a pistol from a whisper away. Unlike the others, we do not have one instructor who watches five students on the range at the same time. We are right there with you each and every step along the way to ensure that you are safe while learning.

Finally, our Chief Instructor actually teaches the class. He does not rely upon the playing of out-of-date and boring DVDs as a substitute for quality and up-to-date instruction. Our training is a 100 percent live and entertaining presentation which ensure that you fully grasp and understand the material well after you leave the classroom. My students see for themselves how fast the GroupOn classes are over before we reach the half-way point of our class.

Our Chief instructor has been training citizens, such as yourself, for over ten years with a 100 percent safety record. We are especially adept at training first-time shooters, women, and seniors. We are not fly-by-night operators. We have seen many training providers come and go over the last decade.

Only quality Instructors have staying power. We are here for the long haul. So, if you ever have a need for follow-up, you know that you can find us - even if it is five years later.

If you want the best instruction, you have to be taught by the best. You deserve it, your family deserves, and your safety at home and out in the streets requires it. Don't be penny-wise and pound foolish with your safety. Go with the best. Me.

When my students call me, they are referring family members and friends to take our class. When graduates from other training classes call me, they were failed by their instructors and need serious legal help. Get it done right the first time.

Saturday, February 11th, 2017
Location: L.A.I.D. HQ
30305 Schoolcraft Ave.
Livonia, MI
10am Start
Tuition ($150)


Range expenses will be incurred at the range to handle gun rental, range time, ammunition costs, and a fee for a target. The estimated fee is $35.

Chief Firearm Instructor Rick Ector is a recognized expert in firearm safety and has been featured extensively in the national and local media: New York Times, Associated Press, UPI, USA Today, Fox News, NRAnews, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, National Public Radio, "Let It Rip," the Detroit Metro Times, Guns Digest, Tactical-Life, The Truth About Guns, The Politics Daily, Fox News Detroit, The Detroit News, and the Detroit Free Press.

Ector has the following NRA Certifications: Training Counselor, Chief Range Safety Officer, Home Firearm Safety, Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle, Personal Protection I, Personal Protection II, Shotgun Shell Reloading, and Metallic Cartridge Case Reloading.

Ector was the 2014 MCRGO "Guns Rights Advocate of the Year" and was recently named as a 2016 "Defender of Liberty" by the Second Amendment Foundation at a recent Gun Rights Policy Conference in Tampa, FL.


Do NOT Take Our Class If...
- You don't want a 2 hour live lecture on the lawfrom a respected and practicing criminal defense attorney.
- You are comfortable with up to 60 sixty students stuffed into a classroom.
- You don't want to be one-on-one with a Firearm Instructor in the shooting booth with you.
- You are not willing to spend at least 8 hours in class to get the best possible start as a CPL-holder.

If you want to take the best CPL Class, enroll in our class:
