<div>Vera stated in her column, Larry wanted to remind members of a handgun clinic. A "reminder" tells me this is not the original information, which I assume was given at an earlier date</div><div> </div><div>Had The Inkster done her homework... say google Larry Cernik's name, her article would have been informative. Curious, I googled.</div>

<div>Larry Cernik is the Idaho state coordinator for Project Appleseed, a nationwide shooting and history program administered by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association. </div>

<div> </div><div>It appears to me, more people are buying handguns for protection. Gun owners need to be educated on how to keep a gun safe in the home, and the use of a gun under emotional pressure, among other important issues. When having conversations with police officers in the past. Every one of them told me, if my life were at <em><strong>immediate risk</strong></em>, I should shoot to kill. A shot in the arm or leg, will not stop a meth head (or the like) from continuing their quest to kill you. A wounded animal is a crazed animal.</div>
<div> </div><div>Fish and Game offer gun safety classes, as do The Pink Pistols...</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://www.joehuffman.org/PalousePinkPistols.htm" target="_blank">http://www.joehuffman.org/PalousePinkPistols.htm</a> </div>
<div> </div><div>Guns are not going away in the near future, I'd rather gun owners were educated, than not.</div>
<div> </div><div>No, I don't own a gun, nor do I plan on purchasing one.</div><div> </div>
