AmmoLand Editors Note: Rick and his crew produce these events every year and have a great record of success. They cover all the expenses out of pocket or with small donations. Any industry partners that feel they could step up and help out this is a worthy training event that is reaching a lot of brand new shooters. I know Legally Armed In Detroit would greatly appreciate the support.
Detroit, MI – -(AmmoLand.com)- Legally Armed In Detroit, a gun rights advocacy group, has announced that it will provide a free firearm shooting lesson at two southeast Michigan target ranges for 1,500 women interested in learning more about firearms and personal protection.
There will be no charge for attendees at the Firearm Instructor's safety briefing, for the usage of firearms, ammunition, and range time.
Participation is 100 percent free for all attendees. No prior firearms training or experience is required of the women who desire to take advantage of the lesson. Further, experienced women merely desiring to improve their marksmanship skills are also welcome to attend.
The free shooting lesson offer was the brainchild of Rick Ector, an NRA Approved Firearms Trainer, after seeing a local television newscast of a young woman's body being discovered on an east-side Detroit street eight years ago.
This year's event will be the ninth consecutive year it has been conducted. In the first year only 50 women were trained. Additionally, last year the event grew sufficiently to teach over 800 women how to safely load and operate a pistol. This year's event, however, will occur at two different gun ranges over the course of two days: “Recoil Range” of Taylor on August 15
