I'm a civilian, can I bring my unregistered assault weapon or high capacity magazines?
NO! While we do not support the safe act or attacks on the 2nd amendment, we are running a business and don’t need to support breaking the law. Furthermore, Ken Stretz is a full time Active Police Officer

14
Can I bring more than one gun to class?
Yes, although not required, it is recommended. If you bring one gun that breaks and you don’t have spare parts, you will have wasted your time and money on class. Unfortunately given the amount of topics covered we don’t have the time to halt instruction to assist in fixing your gun with other students in a class. It's alway best to bring a back up gun if available.

Yes, companies such as Stag Arms, as well as, others manufacture New York Compliant assault weapons.

What is your cancellation Policy?
Due to a number of customers cancelling because of rain, "last minute family function", "I am going to a Pro 2A Rally", "Can you hold me a spot, we are lifelong friends, I will pay you on the day" - then they are a no show or just plain "I forgot about class, even though you sent a reminder email", we will be STRICTLY ENFORCING the refund/cancellation policy. While we strive to maintain a great relationship with our customers, especially repeat customers - some who have become friends, we are running a business.
That said, all cancellations/requests for a refund (excluding 72 hours or less) will have the option of a refund minus a $50 fee or a "use it or loose it" credit towards a comparably priced class in the following 6 months. If you cancel a class you used the credit for, there will be no refund and no credit. Cancellations of less than 72 hours will only receive the aforementioned credit. cancellations on the morning of, or no shows, WILL NOT receive a credit or a refund.
