What is a remote firearms instructor?

Remote firearms instructors are professionals who teach firearms safety, handling, and shooting skills through online platforms instead of traditional in-person classes. They use video conferencing, virtual simulations, and digital materials to instruct students on firearm laws, safe handling practices, and marksmanship fundamentals. While hands-on, live-fire training is limited online, remote instructors often supplement learning with interactive modules and may require students to complete in-person assessments or range sessions with certified local partners.
