Never allow yourself to be subject to the will of evil-doers. This all began with the fundamentals of the Rifleman. While a handgun is good, a rifle is a much more effective tool for a fight.

Skills are NOT something you can become proficient at in a one or two day class. This perishable skill is no different, and demands consistency, repetition and dedication. You may cease your membership at any time, but your progress will be a measure of your time and effort.
