The
Tri-County Sportsmen's League is offering ALL UAW members and
families a reduced price for the NRA Personal Protection in the Home
course necessary to apply for a Michigan Concealed Pistol License.
This is not a "boot camp" - the course goal is to develop in the
students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to the safe
and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, and to
provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self-defense.
- Learn to recognize the physiological and psychological changes
that occur to your body in a life threatening situation and how to
cope with them.
- Shoot with your "weak" hand, from behind cover, and practice
point-shooting (without sights)
- Train at, and perhaps join, one of the most active sportsmen's
clubs in Michigan
Schedule
The classroom portion of the course will be held at the Local 892 union
hall from 8:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday, September 19th. There will be a
one-hour break for lunch, noon to 1:00pm. The range portion of the class
will be held at the
Tri-County Sportsmen's League Pistol Range at 8640 Moon Rd, Saline,
MI on Sunday, September 20th from noon to 3:00pm. Students must attend
the entire class and successfully complete the shooting exercise on the
range to receive a certificate.
