Thread: A Blast From the Past. Firearms Licensing Old Style.

Greetings All,
My dearly beloved had been tidying up somewhere and found three of the old Firearms Test Certificates from the late 1970's and 1980,s. These used to be issued by Mountain Safety Council Firearms Safety Instructors to prospective firearms owners after an evenings instruction and a test. One was for my son dated from when he was 8 years old. He had come with me one test night sat through the instruction with his ears flapping. As I was handing out the test papers I gave him one as well and in spite of no prep he passed and was duly issued his certificate signed by one of the other instructors. He did the test again closer to when he could get his license, same result, and had his license issued by his 16th Birthday. I think it took about 3 days. It was a simpler time.
Regards Grandpamac.
