The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is offering Okaloosa County citizens 18 and older a FREE opportunity to take firearms safety classes overseen by trained law enforcement officers.

The class will consist of two parts:
1. Classroom Instruction on Thursday evening from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. (NO AMMUNITION SHOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM)
2. OCSO Range on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office shooting range in Crestview.

The first class involves discussions on firearms safety, range safety procedures, and legal issues, as well as actual weapon inspections. The second class involves target shooting at the law enforcement range.

Applicants will need to bring their own handgun and at least 50 rounds of ammunition. Applicants will also need to provide their own hearing protection, eye protection and a holster at the range. Please DO NOT bring a loaded weapon to class on Thursday night.

You must attend both classes to receive a certificate issued by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and National Rifle Association.

For more information call 651-7410. Please do not call OCSO dispatch numbers.
