Dad asked around the local Sr Center where he worked out, treadmill, etc and got a few to take it with him.

When I took mine back in 2006, I just signed up for the first available course online. I was 22 at the time and we had a wide range of ages in the room. Anywhere from an 8yo to a couple guys and one lady that looked to be in their 50s.

Back when I took mine it was mainly guys in their 30s-50s with a few kids. This was back in the late 90s though.

I took it recently with a group of ~50 and I would say age range was from 10-60’s but it’s full of great information that was very worth while.

The best part of it is if you have any questions on grey areas of the regulations or situations, you can ask the GW right on the spot. It’s an excellent program and very cordial with mostly like-minded individuals, highly recommended.

Regardless of the age group everyone is there for a common cause and goal.

I went back to college in my mid 40's and was a little intimidated at first but it wore off after a week or so. I knew the material inside and out since I'd been doing mechanical engineering duties since I was early 20's but needed the shingle to give me credibility. The younger folks related to me much quicker than I had initially thought. A very positive experience for me.....

I though that was the case too but..... I asked at the class because my father, who is retired special agent for the FBI, was curious if he needed it. The GW, who ironically I knew from high school said everyone, including LEO. I would think there might be discretion for a GW but it would be incredibly stupid to get a ticket over since the classes are free and just takes a half a day to complete.

Where does that fit n here:
On or after July 1, 2013, a person, regardless of age, may not purchase a hunting license in this State without producing one of the following, a hunter education certificate of competency, a NC hunting heritage apprentice permit, or a NC hunting license issued prior to July 1, 2013.
