Why Serious Shooters Choose Basic Gun Safety
POST-Certified Instruction
Roger Harvey is a POST (Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training) Certified Firearms Instructor — the same certification required of California law enforcement. You're not getting a hobbyist. You're getting a professional.
$30K SimRange Simulator
Our LaserShot SimRange includes hundreds of professionally-acted real-world scenarios — the same technology used by law enforcement agencies nationwide. Every CCW and home defense course includes SimRange classroom exercises.
OC & LA County Approved
Basic Gun Safety is an approved CCW training provider for both Orange County and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Departments. Your training hours count exactly where they need to.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Col. Roger Harvey, US Army Ret.
Roger Harvey is a POST Certified Firearms Instructor, NRA Training Counselor, and the coach of Team USA at the CIOR World Military Championships — where his athletes have earned multiple podium finishes. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for distinguished service as Deputy Chief of Staff over a command of more than 10,000 soldiers.
Roger teaches the same methods he used to prepare world-class military athletes and as a University Professor — applied to everyday CCW holders and families. His classes are personalized, highly interactive, and built around the student, not the lesson. If you just want to 'check the box,' he's not your guy.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
★★★★★Michael R.
"Roger runs the most professional CCW course I've attended in 20 years of shooting. The SimRange scenarios made me think harder about real-world decision making than any static range ever has."
★★★★★Stephanie L.
"As a first-time gun owner I was nervous walking in. By the end of the day I felt confident, safe, and actually enjoyed the process. Roger's calm, structured approach made everything easy to understand."
★★★★★David S.
"I've sent my patrol officers and my own family to Basic Gun Safety. The combination of POST-level instruction and simulator training is exactly what responsible CCW holders should be getting."
