Best Kansas City Gun Training

Kansas City is like many big cities today-it's a good place to socialize and to work but it's getting increasingly crime-ridden in the inner city. Violent gangs entering our country from south of our porous borders have brought some deadly elements into some of our large cities. The illegal alien problem has meant that there are over 20 million undocumented aliens in our midst. Many are workers but there's no way to know who they are or how to account for many of them who are criminal elements that commit murders and crimes inside our own borders. Legal restraints put on law enforcement and our public school officials hamper them in their efforts to enforce discipline and to apprehend or punish violent students and criminals. So our inner cities are getting more dangerous. Because of this, a lot of interest is being shown for self-defense training of all sorts. But some are opting for a more extreme form of self-protection-gun ownership. For those who do it is advisable to rent a gun for a few months and take a couple of basic marksmanship, handling and safety courses, in order to know whether using and owning a handgun is for you. Fortunately, there are some recourses for the people in and around Kansas City.

The lake City Shooting Range is near Kansas City and is run by the Missouri Department of Conservation. There are on-going classes on gun handling at the range. In particular, there are classes for men and for women on basic handgun safety during June and July. Reserve spots for these training sessions by June 14, and July 10 by calling them for more information. If you can't make those dates there are several more scheduled. The courses do not fulfill Concealed Carry requirement, but they're free. I would try a couple of them just to get a feel for holding a gun and to learn something about how to handle one-a good place to start.

The Missouri Department of Conservation also is planning a summer outdoor camp that will include some firearm training for youth. Camp Coyote is held each summer for disadvantaged and minority youth and it's a great experience they really appreciate. A similar camp is being held in the Kansas City area for one week this summer for the Ad hoc Group Against Crime Organization. This experience would enrich a child in many other ways, while training him or her about some of the basics of handling firearms and about general gun safety. Contact them to see if they have a gun safety scheduled for their week-long camp this summer in Kansas City. 4750 Troost Ave./ Kansas City, MO 64110/ Phone: (816) 759-7300 ext. 2228/ Email: helene.miller@mdc.mo.gov.
