> Responding to the growing attacks on the fundamental civil right to arms
> and self defense, a group of concerned citizens has organized the 2001
> Arizona Gun Safety Forum, from 1?5 p.m. on April 21, at the Burton Barr
> Library, 1221 N. Central in Phoenix. Designed to educate the public on
> the safe and beneficial uses of arms, and to help dispel bigotry fueled
> by high-profile publicity of heinous crimes, a packed house is
> anticipated for this major civil rights conference.
>
> Renowned author and Second Amendment Foundation founder, Alan Gottlieb,
> headlines the event. Leading a panel of medical experts is Dr. Timothy
> Wheeler, Director of Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership. Rounding
> out the panels are law-enforcement officials from the Arizona Dept. of
> Public Safety, local police departments and other experts in
> personal-safety issues.
>
> Charles Goyette of KFYI is the emcee.
>
> According to Alan Korwin, head of Phoenix-based GunLaws.com and one of
> the forum organizers, the gathering is a followup to a forum last
> October which downplayed the civil right to keep and bear arms, and
> promoted an inaccurate view of the benefits society enjoys from an armed
> populace. Major scholarly studies now confirm that millions of crimes
> are prevented annually by privately owned firearms. This is rarely
> portrayed in mass media, which focuses nearly exclusively on isolated or
> drug-war-based criminal activity, Korwin says.
>
> Complimentary admission to the event may be arranged by calling
> 602-808-1283, or by sending email to bfenger@earthlink.net. Several
> books and an extensive literature packet, refreshments, and a happy hour
> gathering afterwards are planned for attendees.
>
> Seating is limited.
> Reserve your space now.
