WILTON — The Wilton Fish & Game Association will offer basic handgun training for adults under the instruction of Franklin County Sheriff Scott Nichols, beginning in April.
The sessions will be four hours long, and are available 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday, April 29 and Saturday, May 13, at the Wilton Fish & Game Club, U.S. Route 2.
Participants will receive a certificate of training from the sheriff’s office that can be used as proof required to get a concealed handgun permit, recognized by the state because Nichols is a certified firearm instructor through the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, according to a release from the Fish & Game Club.
Students must bring their own unloaded hand gun in a holster with at least 50 rounds of ammunition, as well as hearing and eye protection. No magnums are allowed on the indoor range.
Classes are limited to 10 students, and preregistration is required. There is a $20 fee, required two weeks before class begins, which would be by April 15 for the April 29 class and April 29 for the May 13 class.
To register please call Deb at 779-7721 or email rowe.wiltonfg.wilton7@gmail.com. Send payment to The Wilton Fish & Game, PO Box 339, Wilton, Maine 04294. For more information, call Nichols at 778-2680 with any questions.
