That is why Terri was one of a handful of student who recently completed a weekend-long defensive handgun training course hosted by the West Shore Sportsmen’s Association in Fairview Township, York County.
This particular course was run by Mike Warsocki, of the Insights Training Center, which is based out of Washington State.
Warsocki is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with over 23 years of active duty. And it shows. His handgun is more like an extension of the highly-trained weapon that is his body, and he gives commands to his students like their lives are on the line. The fact of the matter is, someday, they might be.
Due to the popularity of our Basic Handgun course we figured there might be a lot of people interested a similar class that covers rifles and shotguns.
Basic Long Gun Safety and Responsibility
In this class, you will learn to handle rifles and shotguns safely, load and unload them properly, shoot accurately, understand the laws concerning their use and ownership, and make a more informed decision as to whether you want to own a firearm.
We provide everything: all the guns, ammunition, and necessary equipment for the course.
Basic Long Gun Safety and Responsibility should be considered a minimum for anyone who owns a rifle or shotgun or lives in a household that has firearms. Teenagers are welcome if attending with an adult.
TOPICS COVERED:
Gun Safety: The proper way to handle a long gun, load and unload a gun safely, and store a firearm in the home
Marksmanship: The proper way to hold a long gun, align the sights, and press the trigger
Familiarization with Different Types of Rifles and Shotguns: Students will be able to shoot a variety of long guns in different calibers (bolt action, pump action, lever action, semi-auto, and more.)
Long Gun Maintenance: Disassembly, cleaning, and safe storage.
Washington State Law: Ownership, possession, and transportation.
Justifiable Self Defense: When is a gun legal to use in self defense, use-of-force considerations, dealing with the police after a self-defense confrontation.
