Learning how to safely handle firearms

Listen Later

Some people grow up learning how to use firearms and enjoy shooting or hunting, but others have never personally held a gun. Whether you’re comfortable with guns or not, it’s arguably a good idea for everyone to know how to safely handle them. Today we’re talking with local firearm instructors about the entry-level classes they teach for adults and kids for self-defense, gun safety and hunting- and we’ll hear from students about what it’s like to go through them.

Guests:

  • Bo Smith, firearm instructor at Royal Range USA

  • Carolyn Croker, recent student of Royal Range USA 'Learn to Shoot' Class

  • Denzel Caldwell, sergeant at arms for the Middle Tennessee Black Gun Club

  • Randy Huskey, statewide administrator for the TWRA Hunter Education Course

    • Today's episode was produced by Katherine Ceicys.
