New York State Pistol Permit Safety Course
The importance of senior citizens owning guns
Basic Pistol Course: The Basic Pistol Course meets and exceeds all of the requirements to obtain a New York State Pistol Permit. The Basic Pistol Permit Course is typically three (3) hours long. The classes are small, and participants are encouraged to ask questions. Much of the course information is technical, so literature is provided for reference.
Some of the topics covered include: defining the difference between Revolvers and Semi-automatic handguns; specification of various calibers and their purpose; how to load/ unload firearms; sight picture/sight alignment; how to identify the correct ammunition for your gun; proper securement of your handgun and ammunition in your home. Articles 35, 265, 400 of the NYS Penal Code as well as the Extreme Risk Protection Order (Red Flag Law) are also discussed.
At the end of the course, each student receives a certificate of completion to present to the Pistol Permit Office when submitting his/her completed application form(s)
Blended Pistol Permit Course: The Blended Pistol Permit Course includes the above course and assistance in purchasing a firearm once you have obtained your pistol permit. You will also be taken to a range and instructed on how to fire the gun, as well as the proper way to clean your new firearm safely.
