Why Valortec Recommends the Florida Class “G” License Qualification as the Perfect Starting Point for New Gun Owners
At Valortec, we believe every new firearm owner in Florida deserves a strong, professional foundation in firearm handling and safety. While there are many paths to gun ownership, few are as comprehensive and impactful as the Florida Class “G” Statewide Firearm License qualification course. This course isn’t just for security professionals—it’s one of the best places for any new gun owner to start.
Let’s break down why we recommend it so strongly—and how it can benefit you.
1. It Teaches Real-World Skills, Not Just Theory
The Florida Class “G” course includes 28 hours of combined classroom and range training, covering:
-
Firearm safety fundamentals
-
Legal aspects of carrying and using a gun
-
Mechanics and maintenance of your firearm
-
Proper shooting techniques and marksmanship
-
Handling malfunctions under pressure
Unlike brief permit classes or YouTube tutorials, this course takes the time to develop both knowledge and skill.
Example: One of our students, Carlos, purchased his first firearm for home defense. He had never touched a handgun before. After completing the Class “G” course at Valortec, he not only passed the live-fire qualification with confidence, but he also told us, “Now I actually understand what I’m doing. I’m not just guessing anymore.”
2. It Covers the Legal Side—And That’s Crucial
Owning a gun in Florida comes with legal responsibility. The Class “G” course emphasizes Florida’s use-of-force laws, including:
-
When deadly force is legally justified
-
How to handle interactions with law enforcement
-
Your rights and duties when carrying a firearm
This legal understanding could make the difference between being protected by the law—or breaking it without realizing.
Example: Imagine drawing your gun in self-defense during a confrontation. If you don’t understand Florida’s laws (especially what constitutes a “reasonable threat”), you could be facing charges instead of receiving protection.
3. You Learn to Shoot Under Pressure—Not Just at Paper
The course includes a structured range qualification, where students fire 144 rounds through practice and two qualification runs. That means you’re not just plinking at targets. You’re learning:
-
Precision shooting
-
Safe drawing from a holster
-
Reloading and clearing malfunctions
-
Managing stress while shooting accurately
These are real-world skills, especially for those considering concealed carry.
Example: During a live-fire drill, one of our trainees experienced a jam in his semi-auto pistol. Because he had just practiced malfunction clearance the day before in our “G” course, he resolved the issue in seconds—safely and confidently.
4. It Builds Confidence and Competence
New gun owners often feel overwhelmed. The structured, hands-on nature of the Class “G” course demystifies firearms and builds true confidence.
We’ve seen nervous beginners become calm, prepared individuals who know how to:
-
Load, unload, and handle their firearm safely
-
Make sound decisions in high-stress situations
-
Protect themselves and others legally and effectively
When you walk out of the Class “G” qualification course, you’ll have more than a certificate—you’ll have earned real skills.
5. It’s a Gateway to More Advanced Training and Licensing
Whether you’re looking to carry legally for personal protection or considering a future in private security, the Class “G” license is a gateway certification. It prepares you for:
-
Advanced defensive firearms courses
-
Concealed carry permit applications
-
Armed security or executive protection careers
Valortec instructors ensure you get personalized feedback and guidance on where to go next in your training journey.
