I urge everyone to support this group that keeps our heritage alive through clinics and programs that promote the benefits and safety of gun ownership.

When they started about a year-and-a-half ago, women showed up with "hand-me-down" guns that their husband or father had discarded as unsuitable.... everything from one-shot revolvers to .45s that were way too much gun for them, But this time, he said women came to the class with Glocks and XDs and were knowledgeable about the advantages of their gun and why it worked for them. Women are really taking gun ownership seriously and that is encouraging!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-54036870550981973602012-08-01T15:39:25.426-05:002012-08-01T15:39:25.426-05:00Yes, there are NRA classes as well as other accred...Yes, there are NRA classes as well as other accredited training courses throughout the country. If you're not sure about the class, ask for a recommendation from someone who has taken that specific class. And don't just stop with the Basic class. Continue your training and increase your knowledge and skills by taking advanced classes. I am amazed how much I've learned in a little over a year by taking all the classes that are available!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-61185727714359471952012-08-01T13:55:02.411-05:002012-08-01T13:55:02.411-05:00Belle,

At my most recent shooting and target practice session with girlfriends, our instructor told us that usually the husband does all the choosing, leaving the wife with something not suited to her!
