This course is designed to provide a hands-on experience in firearms safety for people who are new gun owners or are thinking of purchasing a firearm for personal safety and/or recreational shooting.

By the end of the course, participants will demonstrate safe gun handling skills; identify pistols and ammunition; load, unload and clean a firearm; accurately target shoot; and describe requirements for purchasing a pistol in Minnesota and for obtaining a carry permit.

This course is open to people over the age of 18. Because of some adult content, teens, ages 13 - 17 years, may attend with a parent or guardian who is also a participant.

Handguns, ammunition, targets and personal safety gear are provided. If you already own a handgun, you are welcome to bring it with you as long as you bring your own ammo!
