The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources encourages hunters to sign up for its Firearms Safety Hunter Education class.
Classes are taught by DNR-certified volunteers in different communities, typically in the spring and early fall. To become certified, students attend classroom and field instruction sessions. The course provides students with basic safe firearms handling skills, wildlife identification, outdoor skills, and responsibilities that accompany hunting and firearms use.
To find a class, visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/safety/firearms/index.html#calendar or call 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367.
