transporting a handgun to a range.

[Guest just4fun]

Getting a handgun as a gift. No carry permit. Just want to take it to a gun range. Can't I just keep it unloaded, locked and in the box with the ammo separate? Does anyone know the least expensive place to take the class?

Yes, absolutely.

Others in your area will chime in re the class options, although you can read some reviews at:

Yeah, you're cool to transport it like that. You'll get many reccomendations on classes.

Classes are $60 at the Chilhowee Rod & Gun Club in Athens, TN.

He's in Lebanon,that would be a hell of a drive to Athens.

I don’t see it on their web site now, but Mt. Juliet PD was offering the course at $25 for city residents and $50 for Wilson County residents.

Looks like Mt. Juliet is my best bet. Thanks for everyone's input.
