That’s good news. I hope all of these new gun owners are learning how to safely handle firearms.

There are far too many quickie, BS-filled “coffee and donut” courses taught by blowhard dumba$$es.

If you’re new to guns, look for an NRA Basic Pistol course, and NOT an NRA “Home Firearm Safety”, or “First Steps Pistol” course. Avoid any Uncle Billy-Bob’s $39 two-hour Shootin’ and Killin’ courses like the plague.

Before taking any class, ask how much of the class time is spent on the range.

And for my fellow FReepers who are experienced shooters, when is the last time you took a newbie to the range?
