Basics of Gun Safety Courses helps to promote and protect shooting and other related activities by setting and keeping high standards through training, education, and best practices.
Before using a gun, it seems obvious that a person should learn how to do it safely. But research shows that 39% of people who own guns don’t know how to use them safely. Everyone should have to get a lot of training with guns before they can buy one. This should include training with real bullets. The training should also teach people how to store, handle, use, and transport a gun in a safe way. Gun owners need to know self-defense laws, how to calm down an argument, and the dangers of children and people with suicidal thoughts getting their hands on guns.
Exemptions
A person who wants to get a Wear and Carry Permit does not have to take the firearms safety course if:
- Are currently working as a police officer for the U.S., the state of Maryland, or any local police agency in Maryland.
- A person who left one of the above law enforcement agencies on good terms.
- Are you an active or retired member of the U.S. Armed Forces or the National Guard, or someone who was discharged with honor?
- Are Qualified to Teach Handgun.
- Have taken and passed a Maryland State Police-approved course on gun safety.
BASC is completely against making tests a requirement for owning a gun or shotgun. But people who are new to the sport need to understand that it is up to them to learn how to safely use a shotgun or firearm. This can be done by having a more experienced shooter “mentor” you for a while and “show you the ropes” or by taking a training course if this isn’t possible.
