Lassen Community College in Susanville has a complete gunsmithing course which uopn successful completion carries an AA degree if you are serious about doing this as a trade...which could get you a nice gov't job doing gunsmithing for law enforcement agencies.
If I lived there I would take the class. No question. Lassen Community College Gunsmithing Courses Lassen Community College

Wow, that looks like a GREAT set of courses, they even slipped in leather working & knifemaking, awesome! Gunsmithing would be an excellent skill set to have--always work to be found, no matter where you live.

Lassen College has a nice campus. Keep in mind that Susanville is a prison town and up until a few years ago it was pretty sleepy. It has been rapidly expanding though in the last few years and they even have a few Starbucks in town now!

gunsmithing school
Susanville has a good school. I did my time there. My GI bill picked up the bill and I had a blast.
Working and making a good living as a smith is not an easy thing to get done. I know half a dozen broke gunsmiths right now. I'm newly retired and just finished setting up another bench. UPS just brought me a couple boxes of AR parts so I'm going to be having some fun.
