This is a kid's class, we want to teach our children how to be safe with firearms. We aim to teach safe and responsible firearm handling. One of the most effective ways to teach children not to play with a firearm is to show them what they do.

Our goal is to bring that number to zero. Our core objective is to give kids something they can use for life.
