Why do you need a copy of our ID?
The affidavit provided on completion of the course is a legal document stating that you have been educated in safe firearms handling and state law. HPD checks these documents carefully to ensure that the name on the affidavit matches the individual. By providing us with us with a photo of your ID, you help us ensure that you purchase firearm proceeds timely manner. HDF does not use your information in any other way.
What is the refund policy?
No refunds except for extenuating circumstance (deployment, birth of a child etc.). Please understand that when you purchase a class from us, you have taken away the ability for us to fill that seat. We only teach a limited number of people, so that can really hurt us. Rescheduling also hurts us, since another seat is then lost to a future student. If something arises, we will authorize you to reschedule the class to another date in the next 3 months. We can only book you into classes that have available seating. We work hard to keep things flowing, but some people have been abusing the system 🙁 . Therefore, “No call – No shows” will forfeit their seat in our course.
