Firearms Training Instructor

A well regulated milita, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

 Second Amendement of the U.S. Constitutuion

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As Americans we enjoy a fundamental right to keep and bear arms that our forefathers ensured to us through constitutional action and by  payment of the ultimate sacrafice. May we never forget such a costly and sacred gift. It is now our watch, and we must be ever vigilent so as to ensure the unfettered continuance of this personal freedom.

Through training, education and active participation in the political process we can ensure that the right to keep and bear arms will remain a heritage that can be passed down to future generations. Sadly, there are those in this great country  who oppose such freedoms. As gun owners, it is our solemn responsibility to remain steadfast and educate these individuals through our  example and persistence.

Whether your interets include hunting, target shooting, sporting clays, training in the defensive use of firearms, etc. take a firearms class soon and get to the range. For new shooters and seasoned vets alike, there are firearms training programs available to hone your gun handling skills and shooting accuracy. Join a local, state or national firearms organization and above all get involved!

In the column on the right, I have attached several web links to some of the more prominent and respected firearms organizations that I associate with and/or have membership in.
