There is plenty of good evidence why everyone should be worried about this, not the least of which is that the dollar is about to be unseated as the world’s reserve currency. Read More TR Board Meetings Have you ever wondered how-in-the-hell some jury or other group arrived at some hair-brained decision or nutcase policy? Well wonder no longer! You can view our last TRBoard Meeting here and the passcode is: gT@m*C1B . The next Board meeting is scheduled for 22 May and will be Zoomed. Volunteers Needed! We have committed to have a presence at a number of upcoming events and need volunteers.At these events we enlist new members, sell swag, Root-Beer Floats, and generally have a good time. Let us know if you are interested in helping.  Rifle Radio  Lonnie M. has stood up and taken on the creation of Rifle Radio.

Who Says, Girls Can’t Shoot.7???!!!

  Constitutional Defense Class  Come join us as Robert Zuluaga presents Rick Green of Patriots Academy Constitutional Defense Course in conjunction with Teller Rifles through an engaging study of the US Constitution; what our nation's Founders have to say about the laws of nature and your right to bear arms. Come learn why an understanding of the Constitution is fundamental to all Americans as Ronald Reagan said "Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction."  Be part of the solution and find out how to be educated, engaged, and involved in preserving our Freedom.  Understand your Constitutional rights so you can protect them against legislation and regulations that are taking these rights from "We the People." This class will combine an in depth look at the history and purpose of the 2nd Amendment as well as the entire Constitution of the United States in an environment of lively discussion of current events. Our next class is May 23rd - Lesson 7 Constitutional Defense - and will be held at Little Chapel located at 69 County Road 5,Divide, Colorado 80814, just north of the intersection of Highways 24 & 67. The parking can be a bit confusing, since the lot directly in front of the church is handicap accessible parking.However, if you drive just past the church, there is a dirt driveway that goes up the hill behind the church and substantial parking available there. Additionally, you may park in the lot behind Venture Food, which is just across County Road 5. Class is by donation. Be sure to bring something to share during the break.   TR Pistol Team We’re forming our first competitive marksmanship team. .22LR, any action and Chuck K. is heading it up! If you are interested, reply to this email. Saturday Shooting at Elks is Taking Off! Our first Saturday shooting session had four Rifles turn out. Our second had eight! Our third, nine!!Come for the Elks pancake breakfast and stay and shoot afterward. Our next Saturday shoot is 27 May. Breakfast starts at 700am. The range goes live at 1000am. It doesn’t get much better!    Family Guns   (If you have photos of guns in your family, send them along with some narrative, to info@teller-rifles.org. We’ll be happy to share your Family Guns stories!)     Read More                    Marketplace – Razor Wire – 50’ Rolls       120 rolls arrived and 44 have been sold. $50 per roll. You may be asking ‘Why do I Need Razor Wire???!!! This video may help answer that question. If a collapse comes it may be next to impossible to get it when you really will need it. Reserve yours by replying to this email.            Razor Wire                    OPINION(Contributed by Jeff G.)      GUNNIES   We've been asked, "What are Gunnies?"
