The purpose of the women's gun safety course is to teach basic firearms handling and safety, as well as the fundamentals of shooting. These fundamentals build the foundation for all other levels of shooting. With over 150 women that have taken this free course, it has proven to be a very successful class offered by the Auburn Police Department.
