Hunting and Fishing / Hunters Ed in the Lincoln area
« Last post by Erickson on May 01, 2023, 08:14:18 PM »
Does anyone/where in Lincoln hold Hunters Safety classes at any point through out the year?  I have sons that are coming of that age and we'd like to check that box.  I saw a class in Elkhorn but it starts next week which won't work out for me.

Thanks.

The only reason I'm a member of the NRA is because I'm a member of the ENGC. (I am a lifetime member of the SAF and an annual member of GOA also)
I only stated NRA because that's the only nationally recognized pistol class I'm aware of. I believe there are more than a few certified instructors on this site who have classes that supplement their income. I am not one of them. However, the NFOA replacing their classes with free ones will certainly take money from their pockets. I didn't think they would agree to voluntarily give that up.
Perhaps you have already convinced enough of them to donate their time and money for the greater good (and the NFOA) I just find that somewhat incredulous. Maybe a one time thing, but that would be all.
I had thought of a workable idea though.
Business cards printed up with the NFOA logo on the front and the 4 rules of safe gun handling on the back.  Perhaps with the advisement "Know the Law" under the NFOA logo. These could be given out to members (at the Gretna get together with plenty of extras to Shooter for gun shows)
If every member who wanted some got 10 or 15 it would both promote gun safety and the NFOA.
I don't know how much a box of raised letter, glossy cards would cost, but I'd put in the first $100 to get 500 made up.

I guess that'll put an end to paid NRA Basic Pistol classes in Nebraska. Wow!
are you here to support the  NFOA mission or to prop up the NRA?

Nfoa will be partnering with local trainers to give free training to those who want it.

Does this mean ALL legal handgun owners may carry in Nebraska?  No need for reciprocity? Even people from -gasp- NY and Hawaii?
yes if they are 21

It was my understanding the ccw class was in no way a substitute for training. If people failed the shooting portion of the class why were they issued certificates?
My responsibility seems to be when anyone talks about getting their first gun is to stress getting some training. Almost all the shooting ranges offer NRA Basic Pistol classes or know where to go. I used to have some cards I got at Brownells that had the 4 Rules of Gun Safety on them. I ran out giving them to new gun owners.

True story....about 15 yrs ago or so, I personally witnessed two newbs in the same CCW class up in Tekameh where this was the first time they even shot a handgun.  I took the farthest lane possible away from these two and lets just say the instructor had his hands full and devoted most of his time with these morons.  In the end, I believe they passed...

In my class there was a person who attempted to load the rounds in the magazine backwards and had to ask the instructor for assistance with the "broken gun." They passed . . .

Not to mention the number of people I've introduced to firearms (*after* going over the rules very, very clearly) who immediately put their fingers on the trigger with no muzzle discipline, just due to lack of familiarity.

How is this going to affect current reciprocity requirements with other states ?

Excellent question....which is why I'm going to keep renewing my Nebraska & Minnesota CHP's until such time that lucidness returns to the state  lawmakers...which might be a while.
