UNION LEADER: Beyond the Stigma: 'The next wave of gun safety'

unldbobRalph Demicco still remembers the “sinking feeling” nine years ago when he learned that three customers who had purchased guns from his Hooksett shop had used them to kill themselves — all unrelated deaths and all within a six-day period.

“It was just shocking,” he said.

In the years since, Demicco, former owner of Riley’s Sport Shop, has been part of a band of strange bedfellows dedicated to improving gun safety. The New Hampshire Firearm Safety Coalition has promoted trigger locks, and created a suicide prevention campaign for gun shops that has become a model for the nation.

Now they want to enlist firearms instructors to promote suicide awareness.

Reaching Across the Gun Divide in New Hampshire - New York Times Article

MANCHESTER, N.H. — “A gun is a tool,” said the instructor to his class on a snowy Saturday morning in downtown Manchester. He was teaching 24 women how to safely carry, clean, load and aim a handgun. Later they were going to a range to learn to shoot.

No, I thought. A gun is a weapon. A screwdriver is a tool. You can kill with it, but mostly you open paint cans.

I could tell you the guy was wrong, but I’d rather just say: I disagreed. Because to me he is not an abstraction or an adversary — he’s Bob. Robert Boilard, an N.R.A.-certified instructor at the Londonderry Fish and Game Club. He and fellow club members opened their doors to me and a colleague, and over two long days, in the clubhouse, in the classroom and on the range, we talked, shot some and got to know one another.

Surviving a gunman's attack is on the minds of many!

MANCHESTER — More people are thinking about the unthinkable: A gunman storming their office, shooting them and their co-workers.

This is the legacy of San Bernardino.

“My friends were talking about it. ‘What would you do?' ” said Mary Williams, a manager at Coldwell Banker in Laconia.

“It's especially impactful this was a holiday party for the office,” she said of the San Bernardino shooting Dec. 2 that killed 14 and injured 22. “It got people thinking. It felt pretty close to home.”

But some people are fighting back: learning how to better prepare for an active shooter or learning how to handle a gun. - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/Surviving-a-gunmans-attack-is-on-the-minds-of-many#sthash.BqEGSU0a.dpuf

The armed citizen: Gun ownership on the rise

In 2009, the first year of Barack Obama's presidency, the number of civilian firearms in the U.S. hit 310 million, according to the Congressional Research Service, exceeding the U.S. population for the first time. Gun sales have not slowed since.

In 2013, the last year of official data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, there were about 357 million civilian firearms in the U.S. Responding to consumer demand, gun manufacturers have doubled their annual production, from 5.6 million in 2009 to nearly 11 million in 2013. - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/The-armed-citizen-Gun-ownership-on-the-rise#sthash.2nxOIhAE.dpuf

Published on May 5, 2013

New Hampshire Politics with John Burt: Guest Bob Boilard (an NRA Training Counselor) and owner of Defensive Strategies, LLC talks with John about personal security, firearm instruction and the NRA Refuse to be a Victim program. The Refuse to be a Victim seminar includes classroom instruction on a variety of crime prevention strategies, which includes criminal psychology, automobile crimes, cyber crime and much more. Strategies include home security, carjack avoidance techniques, cyber safety, and use of personal safety devices such as pepper spray, stun guns, tazers and more. This NRA course focuses on proactive courses of action, rather than reactive. Criminals prefer easy targets. By making yourself more difficult to prey upon, you lessen your risk of criminal attack. That means having a personal safety strategy in place before you need it.
