A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

    I agree with all of this.

    I would also still recommend the training. Helps dispel the mental unknowns with gun ownership. Helps familiarize with how it works and ways to make it safer. That paranoia your friends have? If it’s fear of accidentally misfiring, training can help with that.

    Even if you don’t ever plan on having it in the house… training and education is only a benefit.

      Nah, my friend’s paranoia is getting M on M rape even though he’s 6’3 and big, and our city has fine crime numbers. Just irrational worries like getting his home broken into and raped, that sort of thing that wouldn’t even remotely cross my mind, lol. Lives in a nice neighborhood too. Runs in his family.
