Second Amendment Blog Bash

Here are highlights of a few special sessions offered during the NRA Annual Meeting:

• Methods of Concealed Carry - An illustrated lecture and demonstration, the program is directed to both officers and civilians who carry handguns concealed during the course of their daily activities. This program will deal with overall concepts as well as the building block-like components that must be considered in order to successfully carry and produce a firearm from a concealed location on and (in some cases) off the body.In the past, it was often assumed that proficiency on the range transfers to the ability to successfully carry, conceal, and ultimately produce a firearm under the stress of a life-threatening situation. From gun and holster selection to carrying environments and activities; from clothing to physical shape and conditioning; from women’s issues to accessories; we will look at this subject from these perspectives and more, in order to come up with basic guidelines to serve the audience in both studying and selecting equipment and employment methods with a more critical (and informed) eye in the future.
• Refuse to be a Victim Seminars & Instructor Development - How does the criminal mind work? Would criminals consider you an easy target? What can you do to protect yourself, your family, friends or employees from becoming victimized? Answers to these questions (and more) are covered during this 3-hour personal safety seminar.

• Guaranteed Whitetail Tactics - Big-buck expert Bill Winke shares his secrets for “How to Kill a Big Buck in Your Backyard.” Winke will show how to scout and set the ultimate stands to kill big whitetails. He’ll use aerial photos and topographical maps to explain what terrain features point the way to mature deer. Then Winke will explain how to read and hunt rubs and scrapes and how to adjust your stand-location strategy as the season and rut progress. He’ll use personal examples of mature bucks killed and will highlight other successful hunters by showing their photos and explaining what they did right and wrong.
