Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 0 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I attend a Bible Study at my Church every week...a group we call ourselves IRON MEN. We have been doing some extra activities to "bond" with some of the youth of the Church and teach them how a Godly man should live. Tomorrow I, along with my good friend WEEWAHOOTTEE and GUN DAWG are presenting a program at the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Range called FAITH and FIREARMS.. After some spiritual discussion about how God intends us to use all resources( including firearms if necessary) to protect ourselves and our families, and our God given right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, and after a proper talk by Weewahoottee as to the safe handling of firearms, we will give the folks a chance to actually shoot some firearms (some .22 rifles, pistols....and maybe a shotgun or two....)....and then be entertained with some real Cowboy Action Shooting....with Gun Dawg as the Star Shooter. Looks like we will have quite a turnout for the event....talked to a lady in the church who told me "she was afraid of guns and wanted to come out and see what this was all about." We'll slap a Henry Golden Boy .22 on her and let her blast away. All very supervised, of course. Pray that we have a great event. Johnny The Kid Link to post Share on other sites
Cypress Sun 2,641 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Sounds like a great and noble cause Johnny. Have fun, we'll miss you and Dawg at Eustis. C.S. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 0 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Sun... We'll miss Eustis. Bad planning on my part, but we had to fit into the gun club's schedule. Keep our spot on the possee open. Shoot straight. Johnny Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny The Kid IRON MEN, I think that is the BEST thing I have heard in a very LONG time. I am sitting here amazed, reading this for the second time. My hat is off to you, Weewahootee and Gun Dawg. I'll be saying a special prayer for you and your group tomorrow. We'll miss you at Eustis but you're doing really good work there. GREAT JOB! Waimea Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 0 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks for the good words folks.....Just got back from the event, and it was outstanding. We had 40 something people show up.....half of them under 18 yrs of age.....Weewahootee put on a good show and instructed them well. Gun Dawg blazed through the Cowboy stage to the roar of the crowd. And they all shot some .22s...as much as ther wanted to...with supervision....even pulled out the Coach Gun and the ladies loved that big boom. All in all....a really good event and some people went away from there with a better understanding of firearms use and safety....especially the lady who had never touched a gun....she shot through 3 times. Hooked for life. Johnny The Kid Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks Pards... JABEZ....See my second post above as to the success of the day. Was really a great experience and was well received by all 47 folks who attended. Most of them had never even touched a firearm. If anyone else wants to try this at their Church etc, drop me a PM and I'll fill you in on some of our details. Johnny Link to post Share on other sites
