Ladies, it’s your last chance of the year to attend a women’s firearm safety class put on by the Central Whidbey Sportsman’s Association. The class, scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, is free and open to women only.

The course includes safety, proper handling, safe storage of firearms, plus an overview of the law. Also included is firing range instruction provided by retired Island County Sheriff Department detectives.

Participants should bring their own handgun, ammunition and eye and ear protection. If you don’t own an handgun, CWSA will provide it free for use on the firing range.

Pre-registration is not required to attend. Those interested should bring a lunch, as the class is expected to last into the afternoon.

The class will be held at the CWSA clubhouse and range, located 2.5 miles south of Coupeville.
