Message from the host: 

The great firearms debate is one the most controversial topics ever. I love them, others hate them, some don't know how they feel about them at all. Whatever your viewpoint, I accept it and invite you to come out to this event regardless.

We are going to get up close and personal with how you feel about firearms, what you love, what you hate, what you fear and what you've always wanted to know.

As a community and as women it is important to share perspectives and have the confidence to speak about our views from a place of knowledge. It is also important to know the safety aspects and responsibilities that are expected when in the presence of a firearm. Thus the goal is to inform and have fun.

And yes, we are going all out. You will have the opportunity to handle and shoot a firearm in a safe and private environment in order.

I promise that whatever view you walked in with, by the end of this session you will take away something valuable from this experience and have a better understanding of firearms and their place in our community.

I look forward to seeing you at 2pm on 22 March 2015.
