Those who are interested in, or are in the near proximity of, firearms would be wise to be involved in the Austin Area Firearms Safety Training program.

Pre-registration for the program takes place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. tonight at the Conservation Club.

The fee to attend the classes is small (only $6), but the wealth of information people of all ages can learn is invaluable.

It can't be emphasized enough how crucial safety is when a firearm is involved. By attending these classes over the next month, you will receive a wealth of information that will prove to be priceless.
