Oh yes!
We are teaching ladies to shoot in lots of different places. Nancy in South Dakota has taught literally hundreds in the past several months. She is our ladies’ learn to shoot class “queen”—LOL!
We hold these classes in Texas, Tennessee, Massachusetts and several other places around the country—where we have state coordinators. We usually charge $35 for these one on one classes, and that includes a one yr. membership in our organization.
In most states, we are able to get the range, NRA qualified trainers and ammo donated. Then we get the loan of lots of different handguns so each lady can try out several guns and find the best one for her. One of the biggest mistakes a woman can make is to buy a gun without trying it out. If it’s wrong for her, she might can return it, but usually she takes a big loss, because now it is a “used” gun.
Of course we aren’t yet the NRA, but our membership is really growing, and most members renew every year.
We have quite a few males members also—we don’t discriminate. Of course, they don’t have voting privileges, but that doesn’t seem to matter to them.
We also offer family memberships for $50 no matter how many are in the family.
We put out a very nice Newsletter 3 or 4 times a year and mail them out to all our members.
The other way we are different from the NRA is that we do not spam your mail box asking for donations. We have had 2 fund raising letters in our 12 year history. About the only snail mail a member receives from us is once a year we send out renewal letters.
We are all volunteers and work mainly in cyberspace. There are no big salaries in this organization.
Our purpose is to do our part to help save the 2A. The more women we train to shoot, the more they will work on the effort to save our rights.
What I mean is you all planning a march on Washington this go around?
