Taught by a father with a very strict <br /> dedication to firearm safety, I first used his Winchester pump-action .22 caliber rimfire rifle. I <br /> received my first rifle, a bolt-action Remington .22, at the age of eleven. I still own that rifle, use it <br /> at my local rifle club, and will it as a strict Grandfather dedicated to firearm safety, to train my <br /> grandson in its proper use. <br /> I was a member of the Junior Rifle Club of my home town, shooting in competitions under the <br /> guidance of military-certified trainers from our Senior Club. I often served as Range Safety <br /> Officer and Range Manager. I have been a member of the Stennis Space Center (MS) Gun and <br /> Archery Club, and the Durham County Wildlife Club (DCWC,where I served as a Range Safety <br /> Officer for Pistol and Skeet). In each case, I was required to complete their firearms safety <br /> course as a requirement for membership. I currently am a member of the Buckhorn Rifle Club in <br /> Mebane. I was Team Captain of my colleges€TMs Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps <br /> competitive rifle squad. During military service as a Senior Combat Crew Commander in <br /> Strategic Air Command, I wore a sidearm routinely, and qualified as Expert Marksman <br /> repeatedly. <br />
