For your first class visit to IPAC, bring your identification and payment
only.  For your second class visit to IPAC, you are invited to bring your
unloaded firearm (no ammunition allowed) for training purposes.  If you do
not have a firearm, you may use one of our models at no additional charge.

Under no circumstances will ammunition of any type or kind be allowed
during the classroom portion of the course.  Violation of this rule will be
grounds for immediate dismissal and forfeit of all fees paid.

A combined 70% accuracy rate is required for a passing grade in the live
fire qualification.

If a passing grade is not obtained on the first attempt, this phase of the
qualification may be reattempted, up to 2 additional times.  Additional
ammunition expense will be incurred.

If you bring your firearm, please come to the range with your firearm
unloaded, locked in its case, with ammunition carried separately.  Please
note, however, that not all calibers may be available so you are strongly
encouraged to bring ammunition with you for your firearm.  Firearms can be
provided along with ammunition.
