Doesn't your state require hunter safety courses? In Missouri, we've got to take one before legally being able to hunt unless we're being guided by an experienced hunter.
They taught gun safety, field dressing, and the different type of animals that could be hunted. They taught what clothes you can wear and when, and they taught different strategies to extricate animals if they were too large for you to carry or drag.
- ashtonkem 6y agoI was unaware that hunter safety courses taught more than hunting. Other things held me back well before that point. More practically my apartment dwelling nature was more of an issue; the idea of storing a gun in my apartment isn’t something I find particularly thrilling. If I could afford a house with a safe, that might’ve been a different story. Oh, and I’ve lived in 3 states in the past 6 years. That also would’ve been a problem.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoGun owners must have a way to lock it up, of course. That's usually just a locked case. Not cheap but much less than the firearm itself. And you'll want it to transport the firearm anyway.
- tarentel 6y agoThis might be state/course dependent. In NY you have to take a class in order to get a license but the one I took well over 18 years ago only taught you the safety part, gun safety, don't shoot at things you cannot see, what to wear, basic navigation, etc., as well as when it is legal to hunt different game. If someone else didn't teach you the actual hunting part you'd be fairly ill equipped still after taking the course.
