What is the primary purpose of the Non-Restricted Firearms Course?

The primary purpose of the Non-Restricted Firearms Course is to educate individuals on the safe handling, operation, and storage of firearms. This focus is vital in ensuring that participants understand the responsibilities and safety protocols necessary when dealing with firearms. Safety is the cornerstone of firearm ownership, and the course aims to instill the proper knowledge and attitudes to prevent accidents and misuse.

While a historical overview or understanding hunting techniques can provide valuable context and skills for firearm enthusiasts, these are not the central aims of the course. Likewise, assisting individuals in purchasing firearms is an important aspect of firearm ownership, but the course is not designed specifically for that purpose. The emphasis on safe handling and operation helps create a foundation for responsible firearm use, which is essential for both personal safety and the safety of those around you.
