(Washington, D.C., et. al. vs. Heller) affirming the Second Amendment as an
individual right and ruling the District's gun-ban unconstitutional, the
National Shooting Sports Foundation is placing full-page advertisements in
major D.C. newspapers to inform District residents that NSSF provides
educational resources that promote safe and responsible gun ownership and that
First Shots shooting seminars will be scheduled at locations just outside the
District in Virginia and Maryland to provide District residents with an
introduction on how to safely use and store handguns.

Additional Info:

First Shots Seminars: The NSSF First Shots seminars emphasize firearm safety
for beginner handgun shooters. Participants learn about safe handling and
storage of firearms, state and local permitting laws, how to purchase a
handgun, where to find help in choosing the best handgun for their needs and
where to find opportunities for advanced education and training.

First Shots seminars involve classroom and supervised live-fire instruction
and are held at local gun clubs.
