The movie will show at Cripple Creek Parks and Rec. on Bennet Ave.Doors open at 130pm and movie starts at 200pm. What Will Handguns Look Like in 100 Years? I have written in the thriller and ‘cruel tales’ genre but speculative fiction isn’t something I approach. The editor asked for a look into the future. The result is speculative but not fiction, a report based on fact and experience. The assignment took more research notebooks and drafts than I first imagined. A delve into the past came first, then a look at how guns have changed in 100 years, and finally a look at trends.This helped me to speculate on firearms of the future.

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 30th - Lesson 8 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.
