I'm working with our local gun club in Arma, Kansas to bring in Jim Crews for either a handgun or a urban carbine class. If interest is high enough, we may run both back to back. We are working on either the 2nd or 3rd week in October. Weather should be very comfortable.

Here is Jim's web site www.marksmans.com
