Cailin Davey thinks knowledge is power when it comes to guns and staying safe.
That's why on Sunday she took her 11-year-old and 14-year-old sons to a free gun safety class at Kennewick's Ranch & Home.
"It's important people recognize that it's not just gun nuts that think our rights to bear arms are important," the Kennewick woman said.
There are "every-day citizens" walking around the mall or community who want to protect that right, Davey added.
But personal responsibility and safety is also key to gun ownership, which is what prompted Bill Dress, an owner of Ranch & Home, to team up with firearm instructors from Practical Edge Shooting to offer the free classes.
The classes were organized in the aftermath of recent mass shootings, after Dress saw a surge in gun sales at his store and around the country.
