“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

How To Take A First-Time Shooter To The Range

by Jews Can Shoot on June 27, 2017

As a member of the shooting community, one of the most important things you can do is take new shooters to the range. If we all brought along just one guest per month and gave them a fun and safe experience, we’d never have another worry about protecting our heritage and rights.

So, how do you share a lifetime of your experience and knowledge in a single visit? Consider our new shooter checklist to help organize your thoughts and activities to ensure that your guest will not only have a great and safe experience but will want to go again.

1. Safety Briefing

The very first thing I teach new shooters are the four rules of gun safety.

A gun is always loaded, so treat it as such.
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
Never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
Be sure of your target and what’s behind it.

It’s OK to have a little fun with this as long as it reinforces the importance of the safety rules. For example, I like to show an “empty” gun as we’re packing up for the range and ask if it’s loaded. When they invariably say “no,” I laugh and remind them that a gun is ALWAYS loaded. That tends to help reinforce the point. It’s also a good idea to tell your new shooter that you’ll be reminding them of things like “finger off the trigger” once you’re at the range. If you keep it light, and let them know that everyone has to learn trigger safety this way, they won’t get offended.
