Here at Ad Astra Firearms Training,

Firearms safety & the shooting disciplines are for everyone

Hi! My name is Yee-Lum, and I’m a certified firearms instructor in Lawrence and Kansas City.

I’m passionate about providing friendly, positive, and down-to-earth instruction that meets you where you are, especially for beginner shooters and folks who may not always see themselves well-represented in the firearms world.

As a gay Asian-American woman, I’m particularly committed to welcoming Black, Indigenous, Asian and Pacific Islander, Latino, and Middle Eastern people and queer and trans people to gun safety and shooting as a practical and sporting skill.

Basic Handgun ($75)

This 2-hour, small-group class introduces beginners to handgun safety, controls, and operation. We’ll begin with learning in the classroom, then move to the range for live practice once everyone can do so safely.

Closed-toe shoes and a good frame of mind!

Please feel free to bring a handgun and ear+eye protection if you have your own, or ask me for free loaners. You can get ammunition from the range, from me, or bring your own.

Class dates vary from month to month, but are usually on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Fridays.

Concealed Carry ($120)

This 8-hour class on the legal and practical considerations of concealed carry meets the Kansas Attorney General’s standards and allows you to apply for your Concealed Carry Handgun License.

This isn’t a beginner class, since attendees must have familiarity with handguns and must be able to pass the state-mandated shooting test.

  • Kansas driver’s license or state ID (must be current and valid)
  • Handgun
  • At least 50 rounds of ammunition
  • Ear and eye protection
  • Lunch (or plan to stop by one of our neighboring restaurants)

This class takes place about once every 2-3 months. Classes are usually on Saturday, from morning till around 7pm.

  • January 31, 2026 (Saturday) – 10:30am-7pm [FULLY BOOKED]
  • [TENTATIVE] December 5, 2026 (Saturday) – 10am-6:30pm
    (Due to scheduling limitations, I am aiming for the first two weeks or so of December for my next concealed carry class, but this date is tentative. Please reach out if you have questions!)
