CULLMAN – The Cullman County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) is hosting a two-part Citizens’ Firearm Safety Class. The classroom portion will be held on Monday, April 23 at 6 p.m. at the CCSO, and the live-fire part on Saturday, April 28 at 8 a.m. at the firing range.
The class will focus on safely handling a weapon, proper technique for shooting a weapon, cleaning a weapon and getting familiar with a weapon. A PowerPoint presentation will also be shown.
Citizens who attend part one of the class on April 23 will be able to sign up at that time to attend part two, the live-fire safety course, at the shooting range on April 28.
"We here at the Cullman County Sheriff's Office are advocates of our citizens having the knowledge and training they need to protect themselves," said Sheriff Matt Gentry. "I would add that we want them to also know how to handle the weapon safely, and with this free training they are able to gain valuable knowledge in both these areas."
To register, email Capt. Mark Persall at mpersall@cullmansheriff.org or Bradley Williams at bwilliams@cullmansheriff.org. For more information, call 256-734-0342.
Registration is not required, but it is encouraged as it gives CCSO deputies a good idea as to the number of participants attending the class.
"Note: Do NOT bring a gun or ammunition to the Monday night class. Monday night is classroom portion only."
