PA Rural County (Somerset) 80 Women sign up for handgun class [View All]

Eighty women signed up for a class on how to safely handle handguns this weekend.

The sheriff’s office held one class Saturday and another one will be held today. They ranged from ages 18 to 80.

“There was tremendous interest in this class from the women of the county. There are women who have hand gun carrying permits, but have never learned to safely use them,” Mankey said.

The same class was held in October and drew a waiting list.

I know the deputy helping at the class quoted about how he wished the women had bought better guns. Good man. He's not only a deputy but martial arts master.

Since in PA no requirement for classes for a CCW, nice to see a county sheriff holding a class for the ladies.

Now maybe he ought to hold one for the guys. I've seen many at range who could use a class.
