Welcome back to the Target Zone:
 
Mery Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.  Peggy and I are so blessed to have all of you in our lives.  The store continues to grow at unexpected rates because of our loyal customers and the great employees we have at CTS.
 
Can you believe that December 4th marks our fifth anniversary.  It is both humbling and exciting to see our dream of offering this region the most state-of-the-art shooting facility possible become a reality. 
 
We are not perfect and we are always striving to improve our services, training curriculum and inventory.  Please don't hesitate to offer suggestions on how we may continue to improve.
 
Again we are looking for more suggestions on Corporations or companies with large numbers of employees for our Corporation of the Month promotion.  
 
If you are not familar with this promotion, each month we choose a company and treat their employees as members.  This is totally FREE.  No hidden charges.  For example, if an employee brings his or her own gun, ammo, and targets he or she can use the range for free...or we have everything available too.
 
Companies that have taken advantage of this offer have included Buck knives, COSTCO, Cabelas, Sportsmans Wharehouse, and many others.  Let us know if your company would like to participate.  We will put you on the list. 
 
Don't forget the Members Only FUN SHOOT each month...in Dec on the 20th and also Jan 17th.   These fun shoots are FREE and are a real blast.  The number of participants is growing every month.  The shoot starts at 8am and goes until 10:30 or 11am or whenever you need to leave.  The coffee is hot and the athmosphere is all about safety, fun and skill development.
 
If you have any suggestions or corrections for the new website, or ideas for the newsletter, please email Peggy at

Be Safe....

P.S.  Just a few additional words in light of the tragedy in Lakewood WA.  This week a sensless attack was directed towards 4 unsuspecting officers in the middle of suberbia.  Tomorrow the attack could be directed towards you or your family, or you could be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
Please take awareness seriously.  If you are a CCW holder...CARRY YOUR GUN! 
 
If you are so inclined, please take a moment and include those fallen officers, their families and all that stand for what is right, in your prayers.

Tiger Light T-100 Is In Stock

The TigerLight T-100 is now in stock.  Many of you have been asking for this self defense flashlight and OC (pepper) Spray combination device.  The LAPD calls this device the "Best Non-Lethal Weapon" they have ever tested.  I have tested this system myself and I was so impressed that I signed us up as dealers for the TigerLight System.
 
For those of you that want an alternative to the firearm or perhaps have family members that are not yet old enough to carry concealed, this may be the solution.  Stop in and check them out.
 
We have an 'OC' Pepper Spray class scheduled January 6 from 1-5pm.  Call the range to schedule.  208-773-2331.
UTAH CCW  -  MANY CHANGES 
 
As promised, we will do our best to keep you informed of any CCW changes as we hear of them for Idaho and Utah through this newsletter.  Well, we have some major changes to the Utah law to tell you about.  
 
UTAH
New Law
Vehicle Carry Loaded or on Street (76-10-505)
 
A person may carry a loaded and concealed firearm in a vehicle if:
  • The person is 18 years old
  • Is in lawful possession of the vehicle
  • If other occupant has consent from the person in lawful control he may also  conceal a firearm.
Allowance extends to handguns only
 
UTAH
New Law
Loaded Carry on Street (76-10-505)
 
A person may carry on a public street if:
  • The person has a concealed firearm permit
  • A person without a CFP must carry in plain view and statutorily unloaded

UTAH 

New Law
CHAPTER 45. PROTECTION OF ACTIVITIES IN PRIVATE VEHICLES
 
Legal for people to have firearms stored in their locked vehicles parked on private property
 
Exceptions:

  •  An employer can provide alternative parking at no cost to the employee
  • Provide a secured and monitored storage location where the individual may securely store a firearm before proceeding with the vehicle on to the property
 New Guidance - Firearms Notify Police
  •  LE - Now Recommended Advise No Longer  Required When detained by officer
 As you can see.  These are major changes in support of the 2nd ammendment.  Most are in keeping with the Utah legislators desire to extend
into our vehicles the rights we previously only enjoyed within our home.
 
Call if you have any questions or visit the BCI website to read the actual code sections of Utah law referenced above.  www.bci.utah.gov
 
Washington Residents
 
According to the Washington attorney General, all Washington residents must posess a Washington CCW permit in order to carry concealed in Washington.  This does not preclude Washington residents from obtaining the Utah permit for concealed carry out of the State of Washington.
Cane FU... Anyone?grandmaster shuey
 
Grand Master Mark Shuey will teach his "Cane Fu," self-defense art he invented at CTS on Saturday Feb 6, 2010.  
 
He enjoys demonstrating the lethal uses of a cane, which he manufactures and ships all over the world.  The canes sell from $15 to $400 each depending on the amount of personalization customer's request. Inscribed names or initials are popular for example, and some customers like to embed jewelry. 
 
Shuey has taught self-defense for 10 years. His clients include flight attendants, soldiers, corporate executives, police officers and senior citizens. He has trumpeted his technique on several national television networks including CNN and Fox News, and has flown to Europe to do the same.
 
More than 300 instructors around the world have adopted Shuey's "American Cane System," including us here at Center Target Sports. Shuey's methods of using a cane more than doubles a person's chances against an assailant. "A cane is a self-defense tool you can carry anywhere in the world."  
 
Shuey has created a series of ritualized movements that account for 22 national and world martial arts titles in "weapons kata." As a point of reference, Chuck Norris has six titles.    
 
One of Shuey's former students used these moves once in Atlantic City, only for real. The student had hung his cane on the side of a urinal when a stranger approached from behind with a knife.   Shuey's student walked away; the mugger didn't.
 
The robberies and rapes of three elderly women in Palm Springs, Calif., inspired him to incorporate canes into self-defense 10 years ago.  The attacks saddened and outraged Shuey, who felt they were entirely preventable.
 
He knew enough about weapons to see the value in the canes often carried by the elderly and the disabled.  "Almost every weapon in the martial arts is right here," he said.   "It takes only 16 pounds of pressure to break a skull", Shuey said. The canes he makes shatter a coconut easily. Imagine what it will do to kneecaps, shins and elbows.
 
The law considers the walking-stick variety of cane a weapon, and it is illegal to carry them on airplanes.  But those provisions often don't apply to canes with curved handles.   That is what inspired me to seek instruction and to get certified to teach Master Shuey's techniques.  I will carry my cane on all my airplane flights in the future.
 
In Shuey's hands, a curved-handled cane is probably more dangerous than a straight one. It's good for pulling, snatching and digging. He sharpens the handle's tips into points, which he can dig into an attacker's face, neck or chest. Trust me, that doesn't feel good either. 
 
Don't miss this opportunity to take instruction from the Grand Master himself.  Register early for this seminar.  After the seminar we will be offering continuing training on a regular basis.
Successful Changes! roxie
 
The feedback from the students that have recently taken our Defensive Hand Gun series (Def. HG I and Def. HG II) has been overwhelmingly positive. 
 
I encourage all of you that have previously taken these classes to take us up on our "Repeat Forever" offer and participate in the new format.  I promise, you will be challenged in many new ways.

 Class Registration SAVINGS OFFERED...
 
We have noticed a trend and have decided to capitalize on the fact that many of you are enrolling in both the Handgun Familiarity class and the Basic Firearm Class.  In an effort to save you some money we are deducting $15.00 off your tuition when both classes are paid for at the same time.
 
That's right signup for both classes at the same time and SAVE $15.00.
 
 (Since Sr Citizens already get a discount this does not apply)
 purseCCW Purses and ALIKE...
 
We know we can't be everything to everybody.  We can't nor do we have any desire to compete head to head with every retailer in the area.
 
We are however, committed to becoming the area's premier training facility and purveyor of those items specific to concealed carry, personal safety and self defense.
 
With Christmas just around the corner we have seen a spike in our CCW purses.  Stephanie has considerably increased our inventory of purses and concealed carry items in general.  Come in and see for yourself the wide selection of all things relating to CCW...including fanny packs, briefcases, and day planners.
 
 
 Skills / Legacy / Significance....

Given the tremendous increase in criminal behavior we are experiencing in this area and across the country, I am going to deviate from my normal safety or training tip this month. A couple of years ago some men that I have a tremendous amount of respect for challenged a number of us in this community to lead a life of significance.  I have taken the challenge and it has truly changed my life.
 
So here we go.  As many of you know, very few people take the time or make the effort to seek formal training with their firearms.  It is this fact that leads me to write this column this month.  Since many of the people that fit into the "Won't Train" category are friends and acquaintances of you and your family, I challenge you to share your knowledge.  You become the teacher.  There is no greater honor you can bestow on me or Center Target Sports than to spread the branches of our instructional tree.  You leave a Legacy of spreading the word of realistic firearm skills and knowledge to your friends.   
 
The better trained we are as a society the safer we all are.  There is too much misinformation out there.  Too many people conduct their lives based on theories, techniques, and procedures learned from the TV and Movies.  You know what is right,  You understand the reality of the limitations and usefulness of firearms in our community.  You can play a major role in spreading the word and possibly helping save a life based on your willingness to share your knowledge.
 
Please make an effort to share what you have learned.  You may not immediately realize the significance in what you are doing.  Take it from me your efforts will play a major role in helping keep our friends and ultimately our community safe.
