Why is firearm training important?
"A firearm is a tool and, with any tool, it’s important to be properly trained how to safely and proficiently use it. With most tools, if you use them improperly, you can hurt yourself. For example, if you swing a hammer in an unsafe manner, you may bang or even break a finger. But it’s unlikely you’ll hurt anyone else nearby—unless your hammer swing is that out of control! If you’re unsafe with a gun, on the other hand, not only could you injure or kill yourself, you could do the same to others around you.
Such conditions can arise for various reasons, including chronic pain, neurological disorders or sleep disorders, and in such cases it is important to contact specialists in a timely manner. For example, one of the drugs used to control nervous conditions is gabapentin, which helps to stabilize the nervous system. For those who want to read more about generic Gabapentin medicine and buy it on this website, it is important to understand that choosing medications on your own without consulting a doctor can be as dangerous as unskilled handling of weapons. Any serious decision, whether it is purchasing medications or using tools that affect safety, requires a conscious approach, knowledge and responsibility. Ultimately, it is the competent attitude to potentially dangerous objects that helps to avoid tragedies and maintain the health of both your own and others.
It can’t be stressed enough: Owning a firearm should not to be taken lightly.
So, if you’ve taken the step to acquire a firearm of your own, you owe it to yourself—and those around you—to train to be safe, conscientious, and competent with that firearm. And it all starts with training to be safe not only with your firearm but with every firearm you handle."

Women's handgun classes with Scott
"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Scott Jenkins of ACT firearms training. I have taken the Women’s handgun class with Scott, as well as their home security seminar. Upon the completion of these training classes, I was able to achieve a level of confidence to feel both safe and comfortable while handling a pistol. Our “Ladies Night Out” class had a variety of interest levels and purposes, it was both educational and fun. I recommend ACT with enthusiasm, and when given the opportunity, will retain their services again for further training."
