Firearms 101

In a classroom setting, learn about the basics of modern-day firearms. The presentation will include a breakdown of the different types of firearm actions, ammunition, accessories, proper cleaning guidelines, safe storage, and personal protective equipment recommendations. An experienced RIDEM Hunter Education instructor will display and demonstrate examples. Handling of firearms and accessories under instructor supervision will be permitted, as time allows.

This class's content is intended for those new to firearms, but all experience levels are welcome. There will be no "Blue Card" testing offered, but thorough understanding of this presentation's content is very similar to the knowledge needed to pass the "Blue Card" test at a firearm retailer or the DEM office in Providence.

There will be no live fire or live ammunition at this course. Please do not bring personal firearms or ammunition.
