Gun safety to be taught soon

Handgun safety programs sponsored by the National Rifle Association will be held July 15, 25 and 26 at 280 Kent Road in New Milford.

The one-day program will offer knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for using or owning a handgun. A national written examination and live-fire range qualification will be conducted.

Program completion is a requirement for application for a state permit in Connecticut and most other states.

The state of Utah concealed carry firearms permit course, as taught in Connecticut, enables the permit holder to carry a concealed firearm in more than 30 states.

The next scheduled classes, all four-hour, one-time courses, will be Aug. 18 and Sept. 12.

All documentation, including the FBI fingerprint card and instructor approved application, will be provided upon class completion.
