I was looking at Shore Shots website and wanted to know would that be a good class to take for someone new to firearms. I purchased my Glock 22 at the end of February and have gone to the range about 6 times so far. I feel 100 times more comfortable than when i first bought the gun but i know i am a noob. If not the Firearms saftey and handling class from SS what and where should i look into taking one?

 

TIA

United States Marine Corps has an excellent firearms safety course.

 

Learn the four safety rules, and variations thereof, and drill them into our head. Go to the range. A lot. Always respect the weapon. After becoming thoroughly acquainted with a firearm, you learn to see it as a tool. Nothing more. The excitement/fascination factor goes away, along with the fear, and you will be able to shoot and move, no problem.

Yeah, then you take an extended cleaning course.

 

 

 

Taking a basic safety course is a good thing. Especially if you have questions or are uncomfortable. You will learn to handle a misfire and hangfire. It will teach you the basics and if it makes you comfortable, then it is worth the money.

 

As Ben said, learn the 4 rules and practice, practice, practice. If you adhere to the 4 rules you will always exercise safety.
