30th Firearms Safety at Home, On The Range, and In the Field
Whether or not you are a shooter, you are responsible for understanding how to keep the firearms in your home safe. Shooters have achieved an excellent safety record by knowing and following firearms safety rules and principles. Firearms are tools, but like any tool misuse can end in terrible tragedy. Dennis Carter, lifetime shooter, will review how to safely handle and store and use firearms in a way that prevents accidents. We will also review types of firearms and ammunition to gain familiarity with how to store and handle them. We will discuss pistol permits, and if owning a handgun is right for you.
