In light of recent anti-Israel, jihadist attacks and left-wing violence in the US, Israel and all over Europe, I believe we should all consider Sheriff Van Blarcum's advice! Of course, in VA you don't need to be licensed to carry a handgun openly, but it is incumbent on everyone who does carry a firearm to know how to do it legally. To that end, one should take a handgun safety class that also covers the basics of VA Firearms law, such as the CHP classes I offer below.

At www.HaveGuns-WillTravel.com, we provide personalized Firearm instruction for organizations, or small groups, with discounts for groups of 5 or more individuals. Our certificate qualifies as "proof of training" for VA CHP applicants.

Inquire via email to dknight@haveguns-willtravel.com for details.

HANDS-ON gun safety & marksmanship exercises: Unlike many CHP classes in this area, we provide hands-on gun safety and basic marksmanship exercises. Don't be short-changed by classes that don't provide hands-on training! These exercises are especially important for folks who have never shot a handgun, or have only shot rifles and/or shotguns!

INTRO to VA legal carry: This CHP Class, taught by an NRA-certified Firearms Instructor, Chief Range Safety Officer, and former Reserve Deputy Sheriff, includes an introduction to current Virginia gun law. Carrying a firearm without knowing how to do it legally is the height of foolishness!

VA CHP "Proof of Training" Certificate: The certificate awarded after passing the written test fulfils the VA statutory requirement for "proof of training" for Concealed Handgun Permit applicants.

COST & DURATION: Cost: $50 per student (discounts may be granted to church groups, civic organizations and small groups of 5 to 10 individuals). Maximum class size is 10 individuals.

Duration: approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on class size and student experience level.

To schedule a class for 3 or more persons, please contact me at:

David Knight, P.O. Box 394, Radford, VA 24143

Please be sure to include your contact info (name, address, phone, email, organization, etc), the desired date, and the approximate number of students expected.

Cancellations & Refunds: funds deposited for classroom & seat reservations are not refundable unless a written cancellation (emailed to diemkae@gmail.com or hard-copy mailed by USPS to the address above, with delivery tracking) is received at least seven (7) calendar days before the class date. If a class is cancelled, all deposited funds for that class will be refunded within 7 days of the cancellation.
