WAIVER OF LIABILITY and ASSUMPTION OF RISK 1. I, the undersigned, on behalf of myself, and my heirs and assigns, hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to enter on to and to engage in and/or observe shooting and other activities at the Texas Legends Gun Range and Training Center, LLC (“Texas Legends”). These activities include, but are not limited to, the use and discharge of firearms provided either by me or by the Texas Legends, and the services and training by employees or contractors of Texas Legends. 2. I acknowledge that access to the facilities of Texas Legends has value to me and to others, and by granting me access Texas Legends may of necessity be required to deny access to another qualified person. As consideration for being granted such access I agree to the terms and contents of this Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk and agree to abide by any other rules and conditions for such access including adhering to the Four Fundamental Rules of Firearms Safety of which by signing this document I declare and state that I am well-informed and fully knowledgeable. 3. I acknowledge and understand that shooting activities are inherently hazardous and may involve both known and unanticipated risks which could result in damage or destruction of property and physical or emotional injury, including paralysis or death, of myself or of other persons. These risks include but are not limited to being shot or shooting myself or others; partial or total loss of eyesight or hearing; inhalation or other harmful contact with lead or other contaminants; and being struck by flying or falling objects. I further understand that discharging firearms and using ammunition pose potential inherent dangers that no amount of care, instruction, or expertise can eliminate. 4. I further acknowledge and understand that the Texas Legends is an indoor shooting facility which utilizes mechanical devices and fixtures, including a bullet trap, which are designed to contain and decelerate discharged projectiles; I understand that these mechanical devices do not, in every possible instance, properly contain projectiles, bullets or bullet fragments and can potentially allow ricochets which could potentially cause serious personal injury or death. 5. I further acknowledge and understand that the Texas Legends is an indoor shooting facility open to the general public, and the publication of the Texas Legends Code of Conduct/Range Safety Rules, and the provision of staff and range officers in no way constitutes a guaranty or warranty of any kind. Texas Legend shall not be liable as to the conduct of any person on or off the premises of Texas Legends or the compliance or failure to comply with any rules or codes of conduct by any person. 6. I further acknowledge and understand that Texas Legends makes no warranty as to the design, manufacture, condition or fitness for any particular purpose of any Texas Legends facilities or equipment, including, but not limited to firearms, ammunition, eye/hearing protection, and first-aid supplies. 7. Unless I specifically inform Texas Legends Staff otherwise at Range check-in, I represent that I am experienced and skilled in the proper handling, loading, use and discharge of all firearms and ammunition I intend to use at the Texas Legends’ facility and am familiar and well versed in the fundamental rules of firearms handling and safety. I understand that Texas Legends is specifically relying on the truth of my representations concerning my experience with firearms and knowledge of safety rules, in permitting me to make use of its facilities. 8. I have never been convicted of a felony or a crime of domestic violence in any of the 50 United States, the United States, or territories of the United States. I understand that Texas and/or Federal law prohibits any person convicted of a felony or a crime of domestic violence to be present in any environment where firearms are present. 9. I am not an abuser of alcohol nor am I an illegal user of any dangerous drug or narcotic. 10.
