Recently, the Rappahannock
County Sheriff s Office held a handgun training course, entitled “Concealed Carry of Handguns” with Major Scott Jenkins as the firearms instructor. It ran for two evenings at the Washington Fire Hall and a third day at Major Jenkins’ firing range. The purpose: to be awarded a concealed firearms permit for the successful completion of the course.
I'd enrolled in a firearms course a number of years ago, preparing myself for my new life in Rappahannock. I promptly purchased a rifle mostly so 1 could feel safe living in the woods teaming with myriad wildlife with which I was so unfamiliar. I’d only at that time seen bears on television or at the zoo and here it was practically a daily occurrence in my pastures along with bobcat, deer, coyote, and the like.
I was intrigued by the offered course since 1 know so little about handguns, have had occasion where I’ve wanted to shoot copperheads in my manure pile and bam to protect my horses and myself and me thinks my rifle probably would have been overkill, though have been advised, a shovel would have probably sufficed, though I found that prospect rather unpleasant and a gun, if you will, provides a more humane end.
I trail ride frequently.
