Marble Falls business hosting free personal safety course

JARED FIELDS • PICAYUNE STAFF

MARBLE FALLS — From college students to those living alone, Pat Pucik wants as many people as possible to be aware of their surroundings and safety.

That’s why Pucik, owner of Rods, Barrels & Strings, is hosting a free personal safety course July 27.

“I think that people need to be aware of their environment and how they can protect themselves in any environment they’re in,” Pucik said.

The 10 a.m. class will cover topics such as how to secure your home and travel safety.

Pucik said the instructor will bring all materials with him, and those interested need only show up and be ready to take notes.

“He’s going to be bringing some videos with him and showing people how to be safe, not only in their home environment, but if traveling, how to use things such as stun guns,” Pucik said, “and, also anything they might have on their person to help protect themselves.”

Pucik has hosted classes at the store, 1008 U.S. 281 #103, in the past on topics such as turkey calling and fly fishing.

His goal for the personal safety class is to help people protect themselves in a dangerous world.

“It’s something I definitely believe in,” he said. “I think anytime I can offer something free to the public that will educate them and help them will be beneficial. I love to be able to do things like that.”
