Handgun Basics: A Beginners Introduction

Curious about handguns but not sure where to start?

This class is designed for everyday people who want a clear, calm introduction to the basics without politics, pressure, or strong opinions.

We’ll cover:

• How a handgun works (in simple, plain language)

• The basic parts and what they do

• Fundamental safety principles

• Common types of handguns and the differences between them

• Safe storage considerations

• What responsible ownership actually looks like

This is a classroom-only session. There is no live fire, no loud noise, and no prior experience required.

The atmosphere is relaxed and judgment-free. You won’t be talked down to, tested, or put on the spot. Questions are encouraged, especially the ones you might feel embarrassed to ask elsewhere.

Whether you’re considering owning a firearm, have one in the house and want to understand it better, or simply want to be more informed, this class is built to give you clarity and confidence.
