Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver stated that another Sheriff’s Office Citizens Firearms Safety Course was a huge success. That recently conducted course was comprised of two sessions including a class room session at Gadsden State Community College and a firearms range session at BJ’s Guns and Range in Centre.

Deputies, investigators, and staff from the District Attorney’s Office instructed attendees on facts regarding firearms laws, how to safely and legally carry firearms, information about concealed weapons permits, firearm instruction, and hands-on firearms experience.

“The attendees seem to enjoy the classes, and we enjoy being able to provide the training and interact with the public in a positive way,” says Sheriff Jeff Shaver. 

The Citizens Firearms Safety Course is sponsored by Sheriff Shaver and District Attorney Mike O’Dell in conjunction with Gadsden State Community College. 

“I appreciate members of my staff who choose to participate in the training, and I’d also like to thank the District Attorney’s Office and Gadsden State Community College for their help in making the classes a success,” stated Sheriff Shaver.
