Pre-registration is required for the two days of training during each course.
Attendance at both days is required to be registered to hunt if you were born after July 1, 1957. The courses are free and a $2 lunch is provided each day.
The course covers topics such as gun safety, hunting responsibilities, ethics and regulations.

Great idea. But we need to go further. And no, I am not a gun nut. I don't even own a firearm, and I think we have way too many guns floating out there in our society. But since its unrealistic to assume citizens are going to simply hand in their guns, and in deference to the Second Amendment, I think a gun safety course should be a mandatory high school course. With all the firearms out there, teaching our young ones to handle firearms safely and with respect should be a priority.
