Required for all discharge permits, but open to all
Submitted by the Town of Wheatfield
Greg Lloyd
Firearms Review Board Chairman
Hunting season is almost here, and the Firearms Permit Review Board (FPRB) of Wheatfield will be giving its annual muzzleloader course at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, in the Community Center located behind the Wheatfield Town Hall. A certificate will be issued to those taking this course as a requirement for a muzzleloader discharge permit. There is no course fee. No refreshments will be served, however, participants may bring their own drinks/snacks.
This course is open to anyone 14 years and older (14-17 with parent/adult) interested in muzzle loading, with young adults and women being especially welcome. For those interested in taking this course, sign up or call the town clerk’s office at 726-694-6441.
With its prime focus on firearm safety, the Wheatfield firearms Law 1-1975, amended July 15, 2002, prohibits all rifle discharge within town limits except by permit.
Copies of the firearms law with area maps are available at the Town Clerks office.
