Paragon Firearms Training will be hosting firearm safety classes free of charge. Because of the increase in the purchase of firearms and the need of citizens to protect their families, Paragon Firearms is providing classes on the safe use of firearms.

We are offering these classes as a service to our community.
 
Subjects covered will include:

   >Firearms Safety, Operations and Ammunition
   >Storage and Cleaning
   >Safe Handgun Shooting Fundamentals
   >Handgun Purchase, Ownership, Possession, Transportation, and Applicable Laws
   >Avoiding or Coping With Conflict Situations

We believe every gun owner has a responsibility to train and be knowledgeable in the safe use of their firearms.   

There will be no live shooting.   And no guns or ammo will be allowed to be brought into the classroom.

Coffee and water will be provided.   Please bring a pencil or pen and writing tablet to record important notes.   You must be 21 years old to attend unless pre-approved.

Good Show ol Chap.
I read so much whining on various pages by NRA Certified Instructors about this law or that reducing their class counts or others undercutting their fees, It's heartening to see an instructor offer up free classes to newbies (especially with the included content proposed here)
Heck, having started out as BSA instructor, it COST me to teach.  I also offer my services to friends, coworkers etc. at cost of range fee and ammo (on first trip, I may even supply ammo) Some think I'm nuts, I personally do this to help my fellow man/ woman/ child be safe, grow the number of safe, law abiding gun owners, spread the gospel of the NFOA, and hopefully leave his nation a safer place.

Kudos to Mr. Hawley!

Here's just a small bump to this excellent public service offering by Doug Hawley.

You are invited to spread the word to those new handgun purchasers who might also be new to the shooting sports.

We've put on two of these freebie programs now, w/full credit to Doug Hawley, whose concept it is. 

Doug's a premier trainer:   Whenever he gets a really hard question from the audience, he simply says,

"Well, that question's so easy that I'm going to let Ken take it."
   Then he looks at me.

Each session has had about 20 folks per class.   For some odd reason, some of them already have CHP/CCW permits.   Including a couple I previously trained.   Can't figger why they are attending a Basic Newbie class and didn't think to ask them.

Classes have been well received, with plenty of positive feedback.   Especially after the initial suspicions are put aside and attendees realize that the class is Really, Really, Free.   No strings.   Not even a free-will offering canister.   Plus they get coffee, donuts, candy, and bottled water.   Plus coupla handouts.

Anyhow, one more class being offered in this series on February 20.   If you have any candidates, have them contact Doug Hawley.  Info up above.
