Chilton County Citizens Firearms Safety Course

 

Sheriff John Shearon is pleased to announce that the Chilton County Sheriff’s Office is now offering Citizens Firearms Courses. Our training staff developed these courses in response to the high volume of requests from citizens regarding firearms classes for the public. It is recognized that in this day and age, many people own and handle firearms in an effort to protect themselves. This class is aimed at providing the public valuable information about how to handle a firearm safely, how to shoot accurately, when it is legal to use a firearm, and what to expect when a firearm is used to defend a life.
