Foley Community Education with the assistance of several DNR trained volunteer firearm safety instructors will provide firearm safety training this spring. The class will be a combination of classroom and field experience covering the safe operation and functioning of firearms as required by the MN Dept. of Natural Resources.
PARENT NOTES:
- Students taking this course can be 11 years old but must turn 12 by Dec. 31, 2017. If an 11 year old takes the class and passes the test the state DNR office will hold their card until they turn 12.
- Please do not allow your child to bring a gun to class or the field test. All firearms will be provided.
