I had wanted to take a firearms safety course for awhile. I wanted clarity on how to operate a gun & most of all how to be safe around them - guns. The time to learn about gun safety in my life was now. I'm older & wiser (I think) but most of all calmer about life. When I was a teen growing up in Africa, I had two uncles who were in the army & went on to become police officers. One of those uncles stayed with me (I had a large master bedroom with extra beds) & would often bring a cache of guns he would place under his bed. Knowing now what I know - I consider myself lucky I didn't accidentally fire off any of those guns I picked up - when he wasn't around! You name it I held it - semi automatics, RPGs, AK47s, etcetera ... honestly there was a Rambo assortment of weapons under that bed ... yikes! A coworker had taken Silvercores firearms safety course & highly recommended I sign up. I did sign up a few months ago & just recently completed the two day in person course. Heads up Alert - I'm going to share with you major, major tips so you can successfully pass this course to obtain your PAL (Possession & Acquisition Licence) which enables you to own & buy guns. You must score a minimum of 80% to pass the course.

You must complete each of the prep quizzes in the links I've shared - if there's 10 quizzes, complete ALL 10 quizzes! Study out the following guns - single & double action revolvers, Glock 45, bolt action rifle, hitch rifle, Lever Action Rifle, Pump Action & Semi Automatic Action(Ruger). You will have two in class quizzes, each consisting of 50 multiple choice questions. You will also have two practical in class tests. You will not be firing off any guns in this class. You can download the manual - 300 pages. Glance through it but don't memorize it. Mythbusters By taking the CFSC, you will not become The Accountant - an assassin - nor the Jackel (The Day of the Jackel 2024 - btw excellent British production) - super sniper - & be able to bring down targets 5 miles away. 007? - forget about it & leave that to James Bond on the big screen. Firearms are sold only to licenced PAL holders in Canada. Firearms in Canada are used solely for hunting or target practice at the gun range. Canada does not have the infamous 'Castle' rule ala Texas. Makes for an interesting scenario - if Dahmer breaks into your home & starts ticking off your loved ones, one by one, do you approach him with a butter knife!? Most of the 'big, black, scary' guns (semi automatics) are banned in Canada. Come to class relaxed & ready to learn everything - gun safety. When answering the quizzes, think gun safety first. Funny story - my brother got tripped up on a question - are you allowed to fire bullets at a stop sign? His mind was like - yeah, if it's in my backyard! LOL. The answer is - nope. No picture taking or recording allowed in class. There is a Subway a 100 metres from here (Delta location) for lunch or bring your own. Silvercore has leading industry training by highly experienced firearms instructors. Our class instructor Ken, was A+ in his instruction, pace & style of teaching. His wealth of knowledge re gun safety was second to none. I got more out of this class than I ever thought I could. read more
