Gun Safety
| The Lucerne Valley Lions Club operates a shooting
range that generate funds for charity. First off think about that, raising
money by shooting guns. If that doesn't flip out my left leaning friends,
what would? The Range is just passed the dry lake on Hwy 18 heading into Lucerne Valley. Besides the classes, I recommend you come see the range on Saturday mornings or Tuesday nights when its open to the public, and if you bring a gun, $6.00 gets you a target and a firing lane, all day long. If you shoot trap, $4.00 get you 25 clays. The range has several certified NRA Firearms instructors as volunteer staff and has scheduled several NRA classes for this summer. Home Firearm Safety and Basic Pistol are very basic, and intended for novices. The Personal Protection in the Home course is geared “To develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self-defense.” The Personal Protection Outside the Home course is very useful for anyone who carries concealed, or plans to. if you carry and haven't had this kind of training, you need it. If you have, practice it. The Women on Target (WOT) acquaints women with Pistol, Rifle and Shotguns; serves lunch and provides both the guns and the ammo.....This is the one to send the wife, girlfriend and daughters to guys, no men allowed. Ladies, this is the one to come learn (or refresh) in a safe, fun and non-threatening environment. Thanks for reading this, and remember all proceeds endup helping those in need. Wayne The schedule:
Home Firearms Safety & Basic Pistol; May 1st,
Saturday 8AM $80.00 (combined class, usually $40 each)
Personal Protection in the Home; June 5th
Saturday (Basic Pistol or prequalify as a prerequisite)
Personal Protection Outside the Home; 14+ hour
class ( Must have Personal Protection in the Home), July 31, Sat &
Aug. 1 Sunday. Open to public.
Notes: Re: Personal Protection Outside the Home.
We are the only group offering this class in a large area. It may be
available in Orange County for a very high price. We haven't even set
the price yet, but it will be reasonable. Remember our instructors
are all unpaid volunteers teaching these classes as a public service.
If you have a concealed carry permit, or are considering applying for
one, this class is specifically designed for people like you.
I warn (challenge) you; it is intense. You will
fire a minimum of 250-300 rounds in the live fire drills.
We are also offering a series of NRA "Women on
Target" classes at our range. These one day seminars are for women
who want an opportunity to try rifle, pistol and shotgun shooting. It
is designed for beginners, but all women are welcome. We furnish the
firearms, ammunition and NRA instructors to help you. Lunch is
provided. The cost is $25. We have already held one WOT that was
very successful. The second one, to be held on May 30th is full.
There will be two more WOT held; August 29th
Sunday; and on October 3rd Sunday. Class size is limited, so sign up
now.
