Greetings!

What a crazy year it's been! And, with everything going on, we haven't been able to get a newsletter out for some time. We are deeply sorry for this. We know a lot of you enjoy getting the newsletter and we have heard many stories about customer's "withdrawal" experiences. Well, your wait is over! You are now looking at a chock full, busting at the seams, jam-packed edition of Libertas!. So, to get caught up, let's recap what has happened since we last met.

President Obama (Gun Salesman of the Century) got re-elected. Obama has always had gun control as part of his agenda. He was always intending to push for very strict gun control in his lame duck, second term and was just waiting for the right time to pursue it. And then the horrific, heart-breaking tragedy at Sandy Hook happened. This gave Obama and all the other progressive, liberal politicians the perfect opportunity ("You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." - Rham Emanuel) to very aggressively pursue their endgame - the complete disarming of the American people. So, while the political debate raged, while emotions took control, and while the voting was the focus for all 2nd Amendment supporters, gun and ammunition sales skyrocketed! The gun industry as a whole was experiencing unprecedented activity! You could hardly find any firearms on the gun shop shelves and there was no chance of finding an AR-style rifle for sale. The ammunition situation was just as bleak. Almost no ammo was available - any caliber. If you were able to find a gun or ammunition in a shop or for sale by an individual, you probably paid insanely high prices. We all thought that THIS was the event the gun-grabbers would use to take our guns and we wanted to be prepared, stocked up, and make sure we had one of the guns the grabbers wanted to ban. And, this lasted for a few months, until the politicians voted. But, because of all the letters, phone calls, and social media pressure directed at your elected representatives, the efforts to limit the 2nd Amendment were defeated. At least for now. The gun-grabbers have vowed to try again, and they will! The fight is not over! This is just a lull in the activity. But, don't go to sleep - stay wide awake and get ready for the next round!

That basically catches us up and brings us to today. Pistols are fairly plentiful, as are AR-style rifles. Ammunition is available, except for .22lr. Most everything else has returned to a pre-frenzy level. And, did you know that during the 6 months or so that the shortages existed and the buying frenzy was in full force, Range USA did NOT raise our prices on firearms or ammunition? Sure, we were never able to get very much in stock, but what we did get, we did NOT gouge our customers on! I don't say that to "blow our own horn" but to let you know how much we love our customers and would never take advantage of people that way! Yes, we could have sold what we did have in stock for a lot more money, but that wasn't the right thing to do.

So, let's give you a taste of what is in this edition of Libertas! - AR rifle pack giveaway, new shooter promotion, half-priced memberships, free class vouchers, Zombie Night 5, half-priced permit class deals, 4th of July in 1776, and much more!

Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy all the great information in the newsletter! We hope to see you at the range soon!

FREE Class Voucher - As "The Donald" would say, "This is HUGE!" Range USA is giving away a FREE CLASS VOUCHER with every new gun purchase from Range USA! And, the voucher can be used for ANY class! Say you purchase a new Springfield XD from Range USA. You can use your class voucher to take the Introduction to Handguns Class. Or, you could use the voucher to take the Handgun Carry Permit Class. Or, you could use it to take Self-Defense Handgun Level I. If you purchase a new DPMS AR-15, you might want to take Introduction to Carbine Rifle, Tactical Carbine, or you might want to take the Handgun Carry Permit Class with your free class voucher. If you purchase a new Remington 870 shotgun, you might want to take Introduction to Shotgun, Tactical Shotgun or the Marksmanship course. You get the picture - take whatever class you want to with the voucher - that's the beauty of this deal! (Here is the only fine print: The voucher cannot be used for Security Guard certifications. Some classes have pre-requisites that will still need to be met. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Vouchers ARE transferrable, that means give it to a friend, if you won't use it. Vouchers cannot be used for classes already purchased. Vouchers may only be used for classes and have no monetary value.)

Breakfast will be available for you to purchase, just let us know how many will be eating, (breakfast will be served beginning at 8:30am), there will be FREE Coffee. When you arrive, simply check-in.

To make your reservation please contact Dana Brown via her email: [email protected].

You will be able to go on a wait list; if a lane becomes available you will be contacted. Members can reserve lanes every other weekend; this will allow more members to have the opportunity to reserve a lane. Space is limited so don't wait!

Mississippi Enhanced Permit

Chip Holland, Range USA Training Director, is certified for the Mississippi Enhanced Permit. And, Paul Brehm, Range USA Instructor, was recently certified to teach it, too.

 

The Mississippi gun permit does not require any training, because of this, there are very many restrictions on where a permit holder can legally carry.

 

Mississippi residents can apply for an Enhanced Permit once they have completed required training, OR if they have a current MS permit, they can take the training and get an endorsement on their current permit. Sign up for any permit class Chip Holland is teaching to receive this permit certificate for MS. Either way, the Enhanced Permit allows the permit holder to carry legally in far more places in Mississippi.

 

With the REGULAR GUN PERMIT it is A CRIME to carry a gun into:

Any police, sheriff, or Highway Patrol station or any prison or jail;

Any courthouse;

Any polling place;

Any public park;

Any school, college, university;

Any school, college, or professional sporting event;

Any establishment that serves liquor as their primary business (bar);

Any church or other place of worship.

 

With the ENHANCED GUN PERMIT, all of the restrictions ARE REMOVED, except: polling places,

Police, Sheriffs, or Highway Patrol stations, prisons, and jails; and courtrooms where court is in session.

And, don't forget to "Like" the Range USA of Jackson Facebook page! There is a lot going on in Jackson and you might want to keep informed about it.
Pray for our Country
If you don't already make it a habit and if it's not a part of your daily prayer life, I beg you to pray for our country, her leaders and her servicemen every single day! But more importantly, pray that revival will sweep across America. This world is changing. Our country is changing. If we don't get back to the basics and remember what made America great, I fear that our days are numbered. One thing is for sure - if we continue on the path we are on, there won't be an America that any of us recognize in five more years! But, contrary to popular belief, the school house, the state house, the courthouse or the White House isn't the answer out of the hopelessness we have found ourselves in. America needs to get back to God! America needs revival! Pray that it happens - for your sake, for your children's sake, for the world's sake!
