Shot a revolver for the first time--no handgun license

[RiceDrizzle]

Fortunate enough to go to a college that offers a handgun class--it amazingly doesn't require you to have a handgun license of any sort. Not sure how it legally works but the class has been around for forever.

I'm more of a rifle guy but I can see getting into handguns too now...

At Cornell, no less. I'm amazed.

There are legal ways to fire a handgun in NY without a license. They're listed in, ummm, well, one of the two main sections. I always forget which. Probably 400.

Yep that's the one. They also offer riflery and trap/skeet shooting.

Curious if all participants are 14 or older but not yet 21...

Awesome. My intro to shooting was also at Cornell. I took the skeet and trap class as a Junior and bought my first shotgun a few months after graduation. Glad to see they still offer the shooting sports phys ed classes.
