[h=1]Florence Police provide actual common sense gun safety training[/h]While various special interest groups have co-opted the term “gun safety” to promote “gun control” laws, Alabama’s Florence Police Department is providing actual lessons to promote public knowledge of safe firearms ownership and handling, Tom Smith of the TimesDaily reported Sunday. The department's approach to an armed citizenry offers a stark contrast to urban police programs that sponsor “buy backs” and other initiatives encouraging citizens to surrender guns to the authorities.
“The ... Department has been sponsoring a gun safety classes for beginners as well as more experienced handlers for nearly seven years,” the report explains. With an average of 10 classes offered per year, over 1,600 citizens have taken advantage of the opportunity to go from beginner to “Level 3" classes, along the way learning about gun safety, legal issues, self-defense basics, and practical shooting range experience.
