WILTON – The Wilton Fish & Game Association will be offering a basic hand gun training for ages 21 years and older under the instruction of Sheriff Scott Nichols. Participating students will undergo a four hour training at the Wilton Fish & Game location on Rt.2 in Wilton.

The class will be held on Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. The next class will be on Saturday May 16. There are 15 students per class so that there is adequate instruction per student. Participants are required to pre-register and pay a $25 class fee to hold their spot. To register please call Sharon at 778-3690 or email Borthwick@myfairpoint.net

The benefits of taking this class is each participant will receive a certificate of training from the Sheriff’s Office that they can use as proof of required training in order to obtain a concealed handgun permit. This certificate is recognized by the state because Sheriff Nichols is a certified firearms instructor through the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.

Students must bring their own unloaded hand gun in a holster with at least 50 rounds of ammunition. Also remember to bring a belt for your holster and hearing and eye protection. No magnums are allowed on the indoor range.

  1. Its great to see safe and responsible gun usage taught by experts. My generation spent hours in friendly competition plinking at the labels on tin cans. This was after a few gruelling younger years of do,s and donts, by the older people in our family. The fun I had and the lessons I learned from that single shot .22 and a few tin cans will never be forgotton.
