A course for Iowans to obtain their Permit to Carry Weapons has been scheduled in the area. The four hour course covers handgun safety, gun handling, carry options, situational awareness, interaction with law enforcement, use of force, and state and federal laws. The course teaches students how to be safe and efficient with a firearm for personal protection. It is not intended to teach tactics or shooting techniques. There is no exam or range qualification. Upon completion, attendees will be eligible to apply for their Iowa and Arizona (non-resident) permits which will allow them to legally carry in 38 states.

Monday, February 17 from 6 to 10 at the Vinton Fire Station

Wednesday, February 26 from 6 to 10 at the Blairstown Ambulance Building
