Rich---you write..."Both classes centered around safe use and handling of a firearm, you could not pass the class if you did not handle the firearm 100% safe. Im actually shocked and surprised to hear people saying that they teach the current hunters safety classes in such a way that a person passing the class would be unable to safely handle a firearm as it relates to CCW in WI."
That is not what I said...
Rich, rest assured that the current hunter safety classes as well as the ones taught since the course started, do stress the safe handling of ALL firearms, but only long guns are actually physically used in the hands on training portion. That would be rifles and shotguns, the guns primarily used in hunting.
Firearms that relate to the CCW are primarily handguns. In the class that I am involved in, students are required to bring a long gun to the class with them if they have one. If they do not, we provide them with one. The students are not allowed to bring any handguns. The only discussion on handguns is when differnt "actions" and "magazines" of firearms are discussed.
My post reads...."I am a Certified Hunter Ed instructor for both gun and archery and there is nothing in the class that addresses use of pistols/concealed carry."
There never was anything related to CCW in any of the Manuals used since the course started.
What is taught are the 4 basic rules of firearm safety....doesn"t make a diff if you are handling a BB gun or a Bazooka.
1)Treat every firearm as if it was loaded 2)Always point the muzzle in a safe direction 3)Be sure of your target and what"s beyond it 4)Keep your finger out of the trigger gaurd and off the trigger until ready to shoot
The course doesn"t teach anybody how to even load, fire, or unload a handgun. And yes, the dedicated volunteer instructors will not allow a student to pass the course unless they can show the instructor thay they know how to safely handle a firearm-----the ones primarily used for hunting...not the handguns carried in a concealed carry fashion.
