Certified gun safety courses endeavor to teach responsible and safe handling of deadly weapons. They are also a prerequisite for receiving a conceal and carry permit from the county sheriff.

| RangeMaster Pete It was cold out there. |
Two recent graduates of a day-long training course in Jordan appeared on our doorstep yesterday with dramatic evidence that they had just completed their study: two posters riddled with gunshots.
This was the first we'd heard of any of this, so needless to say, we were stunned as our daughter and her friend, big grins on their faces, rolled out their posters for our inspection. Based on a quick reading of the results, it appears they're both one-day wonders, both had fired compact patterns into the paper targets. No strays.
They hoped the experience would demystify some of the aspects of gun ownership and use, allowing them to gain a greater understanding of this complex and sometimes emotional topic. We hope so too.
It also qualifies them to apply to their sheriff for a permit to pack heat.
Oh boy.
