Firearm Fundamentals for First-Time Owners Workshop (Free!)

TruPrep offers a free Firearm Fundamentals for First-Time Owners workshop created for people with little or no experience who want to explore gun ownership for self-defense. The session is designed to ease uncertainty, address common misconceptions, and build confidence in a welcoming, judgment-free setting with guidance from experienced instructors.

The class explains how firearms function, covers the basics of aiming, and emphasizes foundational safety rules. It also helps attendees evaluate what firearm might fit their needs, reviews secure storage options like safes or locks, outlines the fundamentals of concealed carry, permits, and legal responsibilities, and walks through the purchasing process from required checks to store paperwork. The focus stays on practical, real-world information that supports informed and responsible decisions.

WCG BeybladeX 1v1 Tournament! July 19th

Spin into a head-to-head Beyblade tournament with a $10 entry. The competition uses a 1v1 format where each blader commits to a single bey for the entire run. Swiss stage matches are played to 5 points and the Top Cut matches are played to 7 points. Prizing is distributed as a percentage to the Top Cut and scales with attendance. Takara Tomy and Hasbro beys are permitted, and battles take place in Takara Tomy stadiums. Bringing a tournament-ready Takara Tomy stadium in good condition earns a complimentary $1 drink for the contributor. Match procedures and rulings include random assignment of B and X sides at the start of each match, with the loser of every successful launch choosing sides thereafter. The No-Contact Rule is in effect, so a no-contact burst or pocket triggers a relaunch. Mid-air contact is not allowed and results in a relaunch. A launch that lands on the shroud also requires a relaunch. Burst outcomes take priority over pockets, meaning if a burst would coincide with the opponent being pocketed, the burst is the final result. Metal Needle tips are not allowed.
