NSSF and Project ChildSafe Encourage Firearm Safety

NEWTOWN, Conn. — In recognition of June as National Safety Month, as well as Responsible Gun Owners Day, NSSF® — the firearm and ammunition trade association — and Project ChildSafe® are encouraging gun owners to pay extra attention to firearm safety practices and responsible gun ownership, including securely storing their firearms when not in use. Project ChildSafe provides a host of resources for all types of gun owners, from first-time owners to experienced ones.

Over the last two years, there have been more than 14 million first-time gun owners, many of them seeking guidance on training and safety education at firearm retailers, shooting ranges and through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe program. Firearm ownership is a right enjoyed by millions of Americans, and with that right comes the responsibility to safely handle and store firearms when they’re not in use. Project ChildSafe has a vast library of firearm safety resources available to gun owners to help prevent accidents, theft and misuse, including suicide. Read more

Streamlined ATF eForm 4 Submissions for NFA Tax Stamps

Silencer Shop, the nation’s largest NFA distributor, is pleased to announce an improvement to the ATF eForm 4 submission process. Until recently, ATF required Individual registrants to complete the eForm 4 “while physically present” at the dealer. Silencer Shop has been in communication with ATF and working hard to remove that instruction. This month, ATF confirmed in writing to Silencer Shop that the instruction would be removed and last week, it was officially deleted. This will significantly streamline the ATF eForm 4 submission process by allowing Individual registrants to certify remotely, rather than having to travel to the dealer’s location.

“A positive experience for the 2A community is our #1 priority,” said Dave Matheny, CEO of Silencer Shop, from the company’s headquarters in Austin, TX. He went on to say, “Suppressors, SBRs: Silencer Shop can facilitate eForm 4s for everything on the NFA and multiple times a day, people talk about how our kiosk makes the process easy. But one thing that they’ve wanted to change is the mandate from the ATF that filing as an Individual requires the consumer to go to the dealer’s place of business and physically complete the application in person. To save this effort for firearms owners throughout the country, we’ve advocated to the ATF to allow these individuals to certify their eForm 4 remotely. The bureau agreed and now stamp collectors can certify their application the same way they order the items on our site: from the comfort of their own home.” Read more

NRA Online Hunter Education Program Reaches Over 100,000 Course Completions

NRA Public Affairs(703) 267-3820
media@nrahq.org

Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America is pleased to announce that over 100,000 hunters have completed the award-winning, free NRA Hunter Education online course since its inception in 2017.

Designed and provided by the organization that built the first-ever hunter education program in the United States in 1949, the free NRA Hunter Education online course offers a fresh and fully comprehensive approach to hunter education. The 15-chapter, online sequence features attention-grabbing videos, eye-catching graphics and diagrams, interactive modules, audio recordings and dozens of action photos presented in appealing, easy-to-access components that provide the best method for teaching future hunters.

“One of the purposes and objectives of the NRA is to promote and support hunter safety in America,” said Joseph P. De Bergalis, Jr., executive director of NRA General Operations. “This free, online course was developed to make it easier for new hunters to get into the field. We are thrilled with the partnerships we have fostered with state wildlife agencies across our Nation and the over 100,000 of our fellow hunters who have completed this no-cost program.”

This free offering has saved American hunters approximately $2.5 million when compared to the fees associated with other online hunter education providers. Additionally, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) ruling in 2019, state wildlife agencies now may claim a dollar value of the NRA’s online Hunter Education course as in-kind match dollars to access federal Pittman-Robertson (P-R) grant funds. Had every state that offers the NRA online course utilized that match opportunity, it would have resulted in over $7 million going back to the state agencies for other hunter education programs and/or range building/improvement opportunities. This is a giant step forward in bolstering states’ hunter recruitment efforts and the national NRA-backed R3 movement: Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation.

Crafted in 1954 by legendary gunmaker Fred Wells for Jack O’Connor and backed with rock-solid provenance, the auction of this important rifle provides an opportunity to own a historic firearm while supporting the Jack O’Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center.

Based on a recontoured 1946 Mexican Mauser action with a 21-inch barrel, period custom features include a Womack bolt handle, Dayton Traister Mark II trigger and a lightened or “Swiss cheese” magazine box and bottom metal.
