Topics we will address include defensive mindset, weapons familiarization, safe firearms handling, shooting techniques, and weapons maintenance. We hope that people attending the course will be able to bring their own firearm, but we will make arrangements for borrowing/sharing as necessary. Cost will be $60 for the three sessions combined.
