Enjoying the outdoors is about more than just hunting and fishing. Safety plays a huge role in the enjoyment of the outdoors.
As a result, Bass Pro Shops will offer free gun safety seminars at 47 stores at 10 am (local time except in Canada) Saturday, Aug. 9th. The first 100 people to complete the course at each store will be given a Project ChildSafe gun lock.
“We firmly believe in gun ownership, and an important element to that is gun safety,” says Larry Whiteley, Communications Manager with Bass Pro Shops. “These seminars will help get people acquainted with firearms and basic safety.”
The gun safety seminars will be held as part of the Bass Pro Shops Fall Hunting Classic Aug. 8th-24th. The Fall Hunting Classic is a 17-day event that focuses on hunting and the outdoors.
Individual store seminars, workshops and activity schedules can be found at basspro.com. Other special events during the Bass Pro Shops Fall Hunting Classic include:
