===== "So you want to own a gun" or "You want to know more about guns" ===== ===== When? ===== Currently postponed. TBA. ===== Why? ===== This can be a very intimidating subject for someone who has never handled a firearm, or only knows about them from movies or news reports, but it will be a very open and friendly class. I've talked to many people in the past that have displayed an interest in going shooting or even buying a gun, but they have no idea where to start. This class will address those people. While this class is mostly aimed at complete beginners, we'll also be covering a large array of the State and Federal laws surrounding owning, purchasing, and using firearms. This portion of the class may enlighten even hardcore gunnies. ===== Basic outline (WILL CHANGE) ===== * Firearms: How do they work? * :Components of Ammo * :Firing pin hits, does what? * Basic types of firearms * :Rifles * :Shotguns * :Handguns * Other Firearms * Firearms safety * :Basic handling rules * :What if I find a firearm?
