WILTON — The Wilton Fish & Game Association will offer basic hand gun training for ages 21 years and older under the instruction of Franklin County Sheriff Scott Nichols. Participating students will undergo a four-hour training betinning at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, at Wilton Fish & Game on U.S. Route 2.
The next class will be on Saturday, Dec. 28. There are 15 students per class so that there is adequate instruction per student. Participants will receive a certificate of training from the sheriff’s office that they can use as proof of required training in order to get a concealed handgun permit.
The certificate is recognized by the state because Nichols is a certified firearms instructor through the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. It’s an opportunity to learn safe gun practices. Students must bring their own unloaded hand gun in a holster with at least 50 rounds of ammunition, as well as a belt for the holster and hearing and eye protection. No magnums are allowed on the indoor range. Participants are required to pre-register and pay a $25 class fee to hold their spot.
To register, call Sharon at 207-778-3690 or email Borthwick@myfairpoint.net.
