Frequently Asked Questions

If you have additional questions, please contact operations@loxandloaded.org.

Once I become a member, do I have to attend every event?

No, becoming a member grants you access to chapter meetings nationwide. You can then choose which events to attend throughout the year.

What if I’m not sure about membership yet?

You have the option to come for a free trial and see what it’s all about! Send an email to esbestfirearmstraining@gmail.com, pay the range fee and join for the session. It’s a great way to meet our community and experience the training before signing up.

What do I get for my membership?

Every member gets a free Lox & Loaded official hat, access to all chapters in the U.S., special member perks and discounts, access to the community forum, and special guest speakers and events. Even more important, you get access to an ever-growing community of like-minded individuals with the same goals as you, to train, become prepared, and keep our community safe.

Why do I have to pay for membership and pay a range fee at every chapter event?

Membership fees go towards administrative fees, insurance, member raffles, and securing the best possible instructors and facilities.

If I have no experience with firearms, is Lox & Loaded for me?

Absolutely. Lox & Loaded is meant for you; you are not alone. You will be welcomed by the others in the chapter, and as you check in, just let the instructor know you are new to firearms. We welcome all experience levels, and our community is here to support one another.

If I have experience with firearms, is Lox & Loaded for me?

Lox & Loaded is meant to be a safe, positive, and enjoyable few hours where not only can you get some practice in, but you can meet others, network, make friends, and instructors are there to enhance your skills and help take you to the next level safely.
