Great to see that you support firearm ownership and training. I will be attending.

“We really want to train our people in gun safety and laws and how to use one if they have to defend themselves,” White said.

I know I already commented, but I really have to commend the Sheriff again on this line of action. The above comment really shows a commitment to the security and safety of the community and to respecting the right to keep and bear arms.

Thank you, Sheriff White.

I work in law enforcement and attended several classes with the former Mjr. Piper of the Barnesville Police Department. We never can have too much training and any additional should always be welcomed. Thank you Brad!

Great idea! Who better to offer gun safety training. I will sign up. One more thing--PLEASE try to have some time that civilians can regularly use a new range. If you live in town without any acrage in the countryside there is nowhere to safely (legally)shoot without going to a gun range in Macon or Fayetteville. And, of course, regular practice is necessary for safe gun use.

Thanks Sheriff White!

Agree. It would be really great to have a range here in the immediate area that civilians can access.

Great plans, awesome in fact. I like the focus on kids and teens. Maybe we will lose fewer to the cemetery and/or the prisons if we guide them when they are young.
