They’re Real, and They’re Spectacular:
Congratulations to the The TrainMeAZ campaign, who has put up the first of a series of billboards as part of their campaign to get the word out about how every gun owner in Arizona can ensure they are well trained and safe when handling a firearm.
A billboard just like the one above has been placed on the south side of Interstate 17, at the Peoria exit in Phoenix, and it’s estimated 135,000 people will see it every day.
You can take look at the other billboard designs that should be popping up around town at TrainMeAz.com. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out their list of shooting ranges and training opportunities in Arizona.
h/t to Alan Korwin for updating us with billboard information, via his Page 9 monthly email newsletter.
UPDATE 10/20/2010 – Mr. Korwin has additional information about the campaign, as well as additional billboard photos on his blog.

Guns don’t save lives. At least not nearly as many as they take. To say that guns save lives is to say that violence will solve all our problems in society. Trying to fight crime by putting guns in the hands of citizens is both dumb and counter-productive. It would be like saying in order to fight pollution we should put more trash on the streets.

You have it backwards, Paul. There are between 830,000 and 2.45 million defensive gun uses every year. Apparently you would choose to leave those 830,000 to 2.45 million people unarmed and begging for mercy from their attacker. Trying to fight crime by disarming citizens is both dumb and counter-productive.
