Free firearms clinic offered for women
Jun. 11—The Missouri Department of Conservation will be providing a free firearms clinic for women next weekend, teaching basic handling and safety skills and how to use guns for hunting and target shooting.
The clinic will be held from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 17, at the MDC Regional Office in St. Joseph. The clinic will be divided into two parts. The first half will be classroom training where firearm safety and handling are discussed. Then, participants will have the opportunity to practice shooting at the range.
