I don't carry but I have them at the house. I inherited them from my family when they passed. I know about safely using and caring for the rifles as took a but not the handguns, which are from WWII in working order though. I know I cannot move those from the house as I do not have a permit and will not be able to get one given my history despite being stable.

As pathetic as this sounds..one of the pressing things I do not know is that can anyone take a safety course or does mental history preclude from even doing this? Are the sessions purely informational, general safety, or do they teach you about your own guns? I want to keep them for self defense but want to make sure I can safely use them.
