What is the primary purpose of the Massachusetts firearms safety training course required for first-time license applicants?

To ensure applicants can accurately hit a target
To promote the history of firearms in America
To educate on safe handling and storage of firearms, and the laws regarding firearms ownership and use
To assess the mental fitness of the applicants

The correct answer is: To educate on safe handling and storage of firearms, and the laws regarding firearms ownership and use

The primary purpose of the Massachusetts firearms safety training course is not to assess the mental fitness of the applicants as that is determined through a separate background check. The course is also not solely focused on promoting the history of firearms in America, but rather to educate applicants on important aspects of gun ownership such as safe handling and storage and the laws surrounding it. Accuracy in hitting a target is also not the main focus of the course, but rather to ensure applicants have the proper knowledge and skills to safely handle a firearm. Therefore, the best answer is C.
