I took the Black Point Shooting Academy basic firearms training, Wow...what a great experience. Adam was my instructor, he was thorough, knowledgeable and patient. The hands-on training was fantastic. I learned a lot and I feel more confident handling my gun.
If you need some firearm training, I would highly recommend Black Point Shooting Academy.

Worst Revolution Ever
In 1982, four Black attorneys filled a void in the New Mexico legal community. There was no entity in place that addressed the particular needs of African American attorneys in the state.
Today, that group of four has now expanded to over 75 attorneys who hold dear to the original tenets of the organization: to conduct a program of continuing legal education for the membership; to improve the method of judicial selection and tenure; to study the needs of the State and community for legislation, and to protect the civil rights of the citizens of the community though the legal profession.
