Range Rules LLC

Range Rules LLC operates out of the Livermore Pleasanton Rod and Gun Club and focuses on one thing: making sure people actually know how to use the firearms they own. Frank Abajian runs the classes and keeps them to 20 students maximum, which means you get real instruction instead of a cattle-call experience.

• •Baseline Pistol — Friday classes covering fundamentals and performance work
• •Baseline Carbine — Sunday rifle training for shooters at any level
• •Defensive Shotgun — Shotgun-specific instruction for home defense and tactical use
• •Pistol, Rifle & Holster Work — Individual focus areas you can request
• •Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance — Practical care for your guns
• •NRA & USCCA Certified Training — Official certifications for concealed carry and defensive pistol
• •Private Instruction — One-on-one or small group lessons tailored to your goals
• •CCW Preparation — Classes designed to get you ready for permit acquisition

Classes run in Livermore but serve the broader Bay Area including Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Walnut Creek, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose.

"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." — The philosophy behind Range Rules' approach

Testimonials consistently highlight Frank's teaching style: patient instruction without pressure, clear fundamentals, and the ability to help shooters move from uncomfortable to confident. Students mention feeling comfortable asking questions, learning more in a class than YouTube tutorials, and returning for additional training.

Classes fill up quickly due to the 20-student cap. Registration is required, and upcoming dates rotate through Baseline Pistol, Performance Pistol, and Baseline Carbine offerings.
