I am very proud of the work the CSSA has done for its members. We have kept our nose to the grindstone, our target in the sight – and the results have been truly gratifying.

Louisiana- (Ammoland.com)-

I don’t like horror movies.  There is nothing attractive about sitting and waiting for the monster to jump out of the dark screen at me.  Hoplophobes are people who have an irrational fear of firearms.  What do they feel as they wait for their monster to attack?  How can we help them.. and help ourselves?
