FIRST SHOTS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS IN D.C. . . . Washington, D.C., residents and their neighbors from Virginia and Maryland, displayed keen interest in the safe use of firearms, while at the same time showing appreciation for their individual right to keep and bear arms as reaffirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller decision, by attending recent First Shots seminars at area shooting ranges, Aug. 24-28. The program provided helpful answers to questions area residents had about the safe practice of handgun ownership, as well as offering first hands-on experiences in many cases. Five shooting ranges held filled-to-capacity free seminars:
- Blue Ridge Arsenal, Chantilly, Va.;
- Sharp Shooters Small Arms Range, Lorton, Va.;
- St. Charles Sportsmen’s Club, Waldorf, Md.;
- Clark Brothers Guns, Warrenton, Va.;
- Range 82, Midland, Va.
Remington Arms donated .22-caliber ammunition, targets were provided by Birchwood Casey and Beretta USA loaned semi-automatic target pistols for the seminars. Read the NSSF press release and watch a video to see what attendees had to say about their experiences.
