HANDGUN TRAINING

Unintentional firearm injuries result in over 500 deaths each year. Every firearm owner should enroll in a firearms course for:

  • Safety: Whether or not you have children, it’s important to ensure your home is safe and protected. Handling firearms can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. A firearms course can teach you how to handle, store, and use firearms safely.
  • Responsibility: Owning a firearm is a big responsibility. A firearms course can help you understand the legal and ethical responsibilities that come with owning a gun.
  • Self-defense: Some people take a firearms course for self-defense purposes. A firearms course can teach you how to use a gun safely and effectively in a self-defense situation.
  • Education: A firearms safety training course can teach you about different types of firearms, how they work, and how to properly maintain them. This knowledge can help you make informed decisions about firearms in your home.
  • Personal growth: For some people, taking a firearms course is simply a personal goal or a way to learn new skills.
