Essentially the same courses that have long been offered to police and military shooters are now available in civilian form. Topics include basic shooting skills, handguns and long guns, use of cover, low-light shooting, home defense tactics, etc. Highly recommended, even for those who have received training elsewhere. Home-state handgun permit required for course registration.

Second Amendment: Law and history

A Right of the People
Superb article explaining the Second Amendment and how it guarantees a right to every individual citizen. The author, a professor at UCLA Law School, presented the material as testimony to a Congressional subcommittee in 1998. As he states in the article, when he began his research he was not particularly "pro-gun," and he did not believe the Second Amendment guaranteed a right to individual citizens. The article is easy to follow and makes a good starting point for anyone interested in the Second Amendment. This link appears here with the author's generous permission.
 
Second Amendment Law Library (page not currently active 3/20/00)
Dozens of authoritative articles. Most were written for attorneys and may be too technical for some readers, but you never know until you try.
 
Legal Opinion
Monthly column written by Ralph D. Sherman, an attorney in West Hartford, Connecticut. Some columns cover Second Amendment history for beginners. Others focus on Connecticut law pertaining to pistol permits and pending legislation.
