My hubby, long time hunter and gun enthusiast, signed me up for this course. I had always been interested in guns and shooting but really hesitant and “afraid” for lack of a better word. I had gone to the range in the past with him, and fired some of his guns, but never felt comfortable. After taking this course and understanding how handguns and pistols work, I am ready to have my own handgun and possibly even carry on some days.
