  1. 1. Do you think more sheriff's departments should do this?

I heard a commercial on the radio about a free handgun class being put on 8A M- 4 PM on saturday in Williamson County. I took it with my wife last year, to get her a little basic training. It is very basic, good for someone who hasn't shot a handgun before. A person doesn't need a FOID card for this as it is training. However you need to bring a handgun and someone without a FOID card would have to have someone transport it for them. I did this for a couple last year. The number to call is 618-997-6541 then enter the dispatch extension. Deputy Fleming is in charge of it. Last year the first time the advertized it they didn't get enough people for a class, but they did the second time. I imagine if they don't have enough people by friday they may do it later. This was not a large class maybe 8 or 10.

 

BTW, I don't know how I hit the poll question button but I couldn't do my post without putting down a question so I did.

I took it with my wife a few years back,. They do a good job. I DO NOT like how they do the gun cleaning portion; guns are sweeping everyone all over the room! A friend of mine took this class last Saturday. I am pretty sure the range portion was like being in a giant wok in that 106 F heat and no shade!
