So. I know how to use a firearm, aim one, and hit a target. I can field strip most things if you give me a minute with ones i've never handled - but even then, i know better than to fiddle without cause, and will ask if possible. I don't aim uprange. Etc.
But there's always more I can learn, firearm specific, handling, etc. And especially with state and federal laws. There is a lot of confusion out there.
My mother and I are both planning to get CHLs for Oregon, possibly Washington, Utah, Arizona. I know we can do the online thing for $10, which is a waste of $10. I figure If i'm spending money, I ought to learn something, so -
Anyone have reliable information about classes in the Salem, Keizer, Dallas, Independence areas?
I don't relish the idea of $300 to get a few hours class time. Don't want to spend $50 and spend the day at the range hootin' and hollerin' and throwing lead downrange. I want to spend the least I can (of course), but get a decent solid learning experience, with hopefully some actual firearm instruction, even if dry and no range time.
Found one that looked promising, but the guy's in Bend or somewhere abouts, and only comes as close as Albany or so - in July.
I was going to take my mother to these classes as a birthday present, so hoping to find something decent before the end of June.
Thanks, all.
