LABOR DAY, 2022 The traditional end of summer is upon us. The summer monsoons have blessed the Gunsite Ranch in the high desert and foliage is unusually green. There are more caterpillars than we recall ever seeing (Just waiting for the large moths they turn into) and the tarantulas are beginning their mating season. What are we missing?

August Gunsite Newsletter
The Dog Days of Summer How did it become August 5 already? Didn’t we just celebrate Memorial Day and Independence Day? Now Labor Day is around the corner.

So much has happened and is happening in our world. “Be on the Alert, Stand firm in the Faith, Act like Men, Be Strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 With that said, it is clear why Gunsite is seeing an exponential amount of new gun owners in our 250/223/260 courses.

His directives that continue to erode our rights have now come to our unalienable Second Amendment rights.
