We are proud to announce our recent donation to the University of Wyoming’s Firearms Research Center.
Read the Announcement on the University of Wyoming Website Here!

We support their mission and hope to partner with them more significantly in the future.   Coincidentally, our donation was approved by our Board of Directors at the same time the FRC was accepting a large grant from the Trump administration to further educational programs in our school system.

If you were fortunate enough to meet Janelle Cooper, you will know that this statement about her from The Guru, is true: “Jane Ellen Marks Cooper, my bride of 60 years.  I have lightly termed her “The Countess”, as that is the only title I may apply to the consort of a “Guru”. The Countess is the only person I have ever encountered, either in person or by reputation, who is without flaw.  Life has handed her its full share of tribulation, fulfillment, and adventure, and she has met each successive year with unmatched wisdom, courage, and pleasure – in equal measure.  The Countess is one of God’s best handworks.  I must have led a truly exemplary life in my previous incarnation if I deserve her in this one”

Random Quote:

“This day I completed my thirty-first year, and conceived that I had in all human probability now existed about half the period which I am to remain in this sublunary world. I reflected that I had as yet done but little, very little, indeed, to further the happiness of the human race or to advance the information of the succeeding generation. I viewed with regret the many hours I have spent in indolence, and now sorely felt the want of that information which those hours would have given me had they been judiciously expended. But since they are past and cannot be recalled, I dash from me the gloomy thought, and resolved in future, to redouble my exertions and at least indeavor to promote those two primary objects of human existence, by giving them the aid of that portion of talents which nature and fortune have bestoed in me; or in future, to live for MANKIND, as I have heretofore lived for MYSELF.” (sic).
