What must training programs under Act 235 emphasize regarding firearms?

Training programs under Act 235 must emphasize firearms safety and legal compliance because these are critical components for anyone carrying a lethal weapon. Understanding and adhering to safety protocols ensures that individuals handle firearms responsibly, minimizing the risk of accidents or mishandling. Legal compliance is equally important, as it ensures that individuals are aware of the laws governing firearm use, storage, and carry, thus upholding both their rights and responsibilities under the law.

This focus not only promotes safe practices but also helps trainees understand the boundaries of lawful use, which is essential for reducing legal liabilities and fostering public trust. Being knowledgeable about firearms safety and legal obligations creates responsible firearm carriers who contribute positively to their communities.
