This video highlights a collaboration between the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the NSSF to address firearm-related suicide. They have launched a free Suicide Prevention Toolkit for firearms instructors, designed to be integrated into existing safety courses. The toolkit aims to equip instructors with the knowledge to discuss suicide prevention, recognize warning signs, and promote safe firearm storage practices among gun owners and within households.

This video emphasizes the importance of secure firearm storage, particularly during #GunStorageCheckWeek. It demonstrates the use of quick-access bedside safes for handguns intended for home defense and large gun safes for long-term storage of rifles. The content also highlights responsible firearm care through a demonstration of revolver cleaning and promotes safe youth training under supervision.

This video, presented by Bill Brisard of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), emphasizes the critical importance of safe firearm storage in addition to the four golden rules of gun safety. It highlights Project ChildSafe, an NSSF initiative providing free firearm safety kits, and details essential storage practices like unloading firearms, using locked cabinets or safes, storing ammunition separately, and ensuring firearms are inaccessible to unauthorized individuals, particularly children. The content underscores that responsible gun ownership includes secure storage to prevent accidents and unauthorized access.

This video outlines a proactive approach to recognizing and responding to potential suicide warning signs within a firearms environment. It emphasizes observing customer mannerisms and how they communicate, rather than just their words. The content highlights the importance of employee training and established protocols, drawing from resources like the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The ultimate goal is to prevent incidents by identifying concerning behaviors and taking appropriate action, including contacting law enforcement when necessary.

This video explores the surprisingly lethal nature of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, challenging the common perception of it as a beginner's round. It details the .22 LR's historical significance, technical specifications, and its disproportionate involvement in civilian gun deaths, suicides, and criminal acts due to its extreme accessibility and affordability. The video also examines specific ammunition types designed for hunting and self-defense, highlighting their performance characteristics.

This video provides essential advice for new and experienced gun owners, emphasizing that firearm ownership involves more than just the initial purchase.

This drill, demonstrated by Adam Painchaud from SIG SAUER Academy, focuses on improving pistol accuracy by isolating trigger anticipation. By firing a single live round and immediately following with a dry fire reset, shooters can identify and correct muzzle movement caused by flinching or anticipating recoil. Practicing this at distance, like 40 yards, provides clear feedback on accuracy and trigger control.

This guide, presented by former sniper Ryan Cleckner, breaks down the critical concept of Minute of Angle (MOA) for long-range rifle shooting. It explains how MOA is an angular measurement that increases in linear value with distance, crucial for understanding bullet drop and making accurate scope adjustments. The instruction emphasizes calculating MOA at specific ranges and converting these to scope clicks for precise zeroing.

This guide synthesizes expert instruction from Ryan Cleckner on fundamental long-range rifle shooting techniques. Key areas covered include achieving stability in the prone position, proper scope alignment to avoid 'scope shadow,' focusing on the reticle for sight picture, and executing precise trigger control with follow-through. Cleckner, a recognized industry expert and former Army Ranger sniper, emphasizes these core principles for accurate long-range engagement.

Ryan Cleckner, a former Sniper Team Leader, provides expert instruction on mounting a rifle scope. This guide covers essential steps from safety checks to final adjustments, emphasizing personalized fit for optimal performance. Key takeaways include proper ring placement, achieving correct eye relief and cheek weld, leveling the scope, and focusing the reticle for individual vision.
