Thread: Mountain Safety Council Firearms Course

I don't believe that hanguns or MSSA should be included on a practical test on the standard firearm safety course.
Handguns are covered already under the application process for their category of license. MSSA could not be, due to the Arms Act. The operation of a MSSA doesn't generally differ from readily available A category firearms.

The administration of the practical test would be easy. It would only be required for the applicant to show that they can safely control a firearm, inspect it and identify the major parts. Class sizes would need to be reduced to a maximum of 8-10 students per instructor.

I did mine 15 years ago and it was the same. There were three guys that got 5-6 questions wrong and the instructors simply talked them through it, resulting in a pass for all that attended. I felt ripped off having studied up and getting all right. All the question at the time were common sense so am unsure how you can get that many wrong.

End of story a fail is a fail! Go away, study up and come back when you are competent.
