There is a great training opportunity for High Power Rifle Shooters coming up THIS WEEKEBND April 29 and 30 April at Camp Atterbury.  The ISRPA is sponsoring a two day session; on Saturday 29 April there will be a Small Arms Firing School that will teach techniques and will include firing out to 600-yards.  On Sunday there will be an 80-round Regional Match where you can apply the techniques you learned on Saturday.

A lot of us want to shoot better – but try as we will, nothing seems to work. One of the keys to shooting better is better training.  We can read a lot of suggestions and look at videos, but nothing works better than in-person instruction.

Governor Holcomb signed Constitutional Carry into Law, making Indiana the 24th state to recognize lawful individuals’ Constitutional right as of July 1, 2022.  Indiana permits will remain available for those that want them, for reciprocity or other reasons.  Constitutional Carry applies only to lawful citizens- the law does NOT change for those prohibited from buying or possessing a firearm.

“The Second Amendment has been debated for years, yet time and again our U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed this important constitutional right that I fully support. Twenty-three other states have laws comparable to HEA 1296. Vermont has had a constitutional carry law in place since it became a state, and several other states have had a similar law for more than a decade. HEA 1296, which I’ve signed today, entrusts Hoosiers who can lawfully carry a handgun to responsibly do so within our State.

It’s important to note that if a person is prohibited, under federal or state laws, from possessing a firearm before this law goes into effect, that person will still be prohibited. And if a prohibited person has a firearm, he or she can be prosecuted. Firearm permits will remain available, without fee, to anyone who wants or needs one, such as Hoosiers desiring to carry a firearm to, through or in another state that has reciprocity with Indiana.

Gov. Eric J. Holcomb”

THANK YOU, Gov. Holcomb!!

Exciting news for Indiana Responsible Gun Owners! The ISRPA (Indiana State Rifle & Pistol Association) and the USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) are announcing a new partnership to create more personal defense and firearms training and education opportunities around the state of Indiana.

IRGO will be supporting this new partnership by helping with communication through the website, social media, and weekly email campaigns.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the open house on Saturday, February 5, at Top Shot firearms simulator, just east of downtown Indy. The event will be from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday. Everybody is welcome to come to check out the simulator and learn about this new partnership and the training and education opportunities that will be offered all over the state.

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, February 5. And as always,

Stay sharp and stay safe,

Jim Anthony – IRGO Founder

Today we are excited to announce a new partnership to boost our continued commitment to education, training, safety, and responsible gun ownership. The ISRPA has entered into a promotional partnership agreement with Delta Defense, the service provider to the USCCA, to augment the Association’s efforts to encourage and inspire responsible gun owners all across Indiana to seek out ongoing and consistent training and education to become more competent and capable of protecting themselves and their loved ones safely and legally.

This new partnership will leverage resources to bring expanded opportunities to Indiana residents.

The state-level chapter of the National Rifle Association, ISRPA is also affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), MidwayUSA Foundation, Indiana Youth Shooting Sports Foundation, The 2A Project, United States Concealed Carry Association, Gun Owners of America, and The Well-Armed Woman.

We will be working with ranges, retailers, and conservation clubs as well as independent instructors throughout the state to plan and present these classes and training events. The curriculum will include basic rifle and pistol instruction along with USCCA courses: CCHDF (Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals), Defensive Shooting, Women’s Handgun, and Self-Defense Fundamentals, Countering the Mass Shooter Threat, Church Security Team Training, and much more.

To support these new initiatives ISRPA has added a NEW Vice President Education and Training. We welcome Tami Watson, well known Firearms Instructor, speaker and advocate from Columbus Indiana to the position. We also welcome Jim Anthony, who brings his energy and expertise as the Indiana representative for Delta Defense. A Noblesville resident, ISRPA member, Range Safety Officer and Instructor, Jim is the creator of the Indiana Responsible Gun Owners website, which will be an extremely valuable tool for communication.

Firearm ownership is one of the most unique and potentially life-changing decisions one can make. There is nothing else quite like it. Yet, some of our most significant purchases in life don’t impact our lifestyle quite as much as the decision to acquire and then possess a firearm with the intent to train with it as a potential tool of personal protection.

There is much we need to know. There are decisions we need to make. And there are actions we must regularly take if we want to be competent, legal, and responsible when carrying a firearm. To address these issues, the ISRPA/USCCA partnership will be scheduling a number of training and education classes around Indiana to give gun owners plenty of opportunities to engage in firearms knowledge and skill development on an ongoing basis. We will also be working with IRGO, the Indiana Responsible Gun
Owners website myirgo.com to facilitate communication with the shooting community. This website publishes a calendar of all training events that are going on around the state. IRGO also publishes an email each week to keep responsible gun owners educated, informed, and aware of where the training and education opportunities are within the area. To sign up to receive the IRGO weekly email just visit the IRGO website and fill out the email sign-up form. myirgo.com

A new ISRPA member benefit has also been created with this new partnership. Any ISRPA member who would like to join the USCCA will get a group discount of 15% off their membership fee. This is the deepest discount the USCCA offers. **Please Note: You Must Contact Jim Anthony To Take Advantage Of This Discount**. Contact Jim at jim.a@deltadefense.com or through the IRGO website myirgo.com.
