Each event will have wide range of unique vendors and FREE info sessions related to personal safety, self defense, firearms safety, responsible gun ownership, everyday activism and more. These events are NOT FOR GUN OWNERS ONLY!

These events will be a great opportunity to explore information from a variety of personal safety experts, and an opportunity for those curious about gun ownership or permit-to-carry to ask questions in a welcoming and educational environment. And there will be plenty of info and topics of interest for seasoned shooters and permit holders.

Open to the public; Free to attend. Free info sessions. Food trucks and great info for the whole family. Taurus Firearms is donating one of their best-selling firearms as a door prize and there will be give-aways at each vendor table at both events, as well.

We're still adding vendors and info sessions, so visit the Event pages frequently for updated details, give-away info and announcements about the day's events and speakers.

Give Cornish hell on his anti-night vision for predator hunting position, and his support for the ban on artificial lights with rifles while predator hunting. He's decided supporting suppressors are in his best interest, but he's still opposed to allowing the hunter choose their weapon of choice.

He's also fond of calling dissenters "meat heads." Really classy Tony. Real classy...

From everything I've seen on his website, I would highly recommend training with him.

ALMOST as much as I'd recommend training with me!
