Detroit, MI, July 7, 2024 - Legally Armed In Detroit, a gun safety advocacy group, has announced that it will provide a free firearm shooting lesson at a southeast Michigan target range for 1,750 women interested in learning more about firearms and personal protection.


The ladies' FREE shooting event will be held on Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28, 2024, at Recoil Firearms (22509 Ecorse Road in Taylor, Michigan).


FREE registration is required for participation. Registration is open now for free. Interested ladies should visit: https://www.facebook.com/share/tD8uTrszX3NxCXoy/



There will be no charge for the Firearm Instructor's safety briefing, the usage of a firearm, ammunition, and range time. Participation is 100 percent free for all attendees. No prior firearms training or experience is required of the women who desire to take advantage of the lesson. Further, experienced women merely desiring to improve their marksmanship skills are also welcome to attend.

This year's event will be the thirteenth consecutive year it has been conducted. In the first year only 50 women were trained. However, last year the event grew sufficiently to teach just over 1,400 how to safely operate a pistol.


This year's goal is 1,750 trained women over the two-day event at only one gun range in Taylor, Michigan: Recoil Firearms. It is only with the cooperation of Ector's fellow Firearm Instructor colleagues and supporters across social media that this event could even be attempted and safely conducted. The total number of women trained by this 12 year program exceeded 10,300.



The free shooting lesson offer was the brainchild of Rick Ector, an NRA Approved Firearms Trainer, after seeing a local television newscast of a young woman's body being discovered on an east-side Detroit street thirteen years ago.

Ector believes that there are many women in the state of Michigan who are curious about firearms and their role in self-defense but are reluctant to investigate due to fears. He said, "If giving women a free lesson by a credentialed professional translates into women just trying it, it'll be a productive use of my time."
