Am a member of both the NRA and the GOA, but agree that anyone reading these threads is strongly encouraged to do so also.

Ahem--there's one organization you forgot to mention--and it was born right here on FR! I'm talking about Second Amendment Sisters, Inc.

We formed in January 2000 when we first heard of the Million Mom March.

Since then, we have gained thousands of members nationwide and have about thirty state coordinators.

One of our most popular functions are our "Ladies Learn to Shoot" days. They are held around the country, and we have taught literally thousands of women to shoot--most of whom were either afraid of guns--or had never held a gun before.

I am holding one of these classes in the Austin TX area on January 24th. If any one would like to attend that class, call the SAS toll-free number and get signed up: 877-271-6216.
