Talespinners Outdoors now offers an indoor shooting range for self-defense and gun safety classes, in addition to its sporting goods options.
In the wake of all the recent shooting deaths and injuries in nearby downtown Chattanooga, Talespinners owner Terry Tucker said it’s time for people to get a carry permit and learn how to shoot a gun for protection purposes. A camera system and range officers keep an eye on patrons at Talespinners to make sure no one gets hurt, he said.
On Saturday, May 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Talespinners is hosting a Handgun Safety Class. The following Saturday, May 21, at the same time, the range is offering a Civilian Handgun Carry Class. The classes were three years in the making for the range, which opened this past fall – the sole permitted gun range in the county, said Tucker. Now, he said, he’s focusing on the classes.
“It teaches you the laws and concealment,” Tucker said of the classes. “It teaches you when you have the right to shoot and defend yourself. We’ve educated quite a few people so far. A well-armed citizenship is what we need in this nation to deter what’s going on. A lot of church groups want to arm people at church. Covenant Life has sent 30 people here.”
