We believe that every law abiding woman and man has the right to keep and bear arms. We believe in the safe use of firearms, and in firearms safety training for both children and adults.

Our goals are: 1. To ensure the right of all law abiding women and men to keep and bear arms, including the right to carry concealed weapons. 2. To educate women in the safe handling, use and storage of firearms. 3. To educate children in basic gun safety. 4. To provide shooting practice activities via safe recreational firearms events. 5. To educate and engage our elected officials to protect our natural right to self-defense. 6. To educate legislators, peace officers and the public that controlling guns does not control crime.

The response has been overwhelming. :-) To those of you who asked for more information and for members: Our newsletter goes to the publisher Thursday and you should receive it in late July or early August. Look for a copy of the American Gun Review stamped "Compliments of Women Against Gun Control". Membership cards, T-shirts, etc. will be shipped separately. We had to do a new printing of our T-shirts (they go fast!), so expect those around the end of the month. Also, women's T-shirts are now available in M, L, and XL, and we've increased the quality by using 100% cotton shirts. Men's shirts are available in L and XL only, though that may change since the ladies seem to like them! Finally, our new phone number is (801) 328-9660. Thanks again to all of you who have joined, offered advice, services and support! We really appreciate each and every one of you!
