Please bring your retired US flags to the event for proper disposal. If you are like me, I have been flying the colors 24/7 - 365 since 9/11, and I have a large number of flags that require a dignified retirement. I included this to honor the fallen of the terrorist attacks on our country in 2001.

After the flag retirement is completed, any remaining flags will be properly retired by NFOA members of the American Legion.

3pm- Close . We will have ranges available for shooting rifle, pistol and shotgun. Events TBA. NRA certified range officers will be present. Bring your guns and ammo. Due to firearms being present, no alcohol will be allowed at this event.

Come enjoy the company, honor the sacrifices of 9/11 and Take a stand with the NFOA.

I hope to see you all there,

Dan Walz NFOA Vice President

Firearms educational events available:

 

                                Don't know what Appleseed is?  Well... Appleseed is a project initiated by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association, a 501.c3 nonprofit, that describes the program this way:

Appleseed is a program that instructs Americans on the traditional rifle marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation, along with reconnecting today's Americans with the people and events of the Founding era. Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are required to allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards, with iron sights, standard rifle and surplus ammo. This is the traditional 'Rifleman's Quarter mile', which is an uniquely American Rifleman skill, that has been part of this nation from the very first days.

The NFOA supports these instructional efforts and hope that our members who are members of gun clubs can encourage their clubs to sponsor more of these fun events that teach not only marksmanship but our national heritage.  More information and discussion can be found here on our forum: http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?topic=1932.0

Welcome to the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association

Our membership is open to all types of firearms owners as long as you are a resident of the state of Nebraska. Whether you are a trap shooter, long-range rifle shooter, concealed handgun permit holder, air gun, rifle and or shotgun hunter, NFA firearms enthusiast or any other group of firearms owner you are welcome to join our organization. 

We are local firearms owners who have a personal interest in representing firearms owners rights in Nebraska. While there are much larger firearms owner groups and lobbyists, we have a personal stake right here in fighting for our rights. We do not have big money to fly in lobbyists from the coasts, we do not have the money to wine and dine Legislators, and we are just everyday normal Nebraska residents like you who want our voices to be heard by the various law makers.   We will operate on what money is donated to us voluntarily.

As a Full member of NFOA, you have the opportunity to vote on the position our organization will take on firearms related laws that can impact us all. On our website, we have a forum with lots of valuable information, and give you the opportunity to ask questions on a wide variety of firearms topics. We strive to connect the firearms owners of our great state with lots of information on firearms, and keeping you up to date with proposed laws that may affect your rights. But, the biggest advantage to becoming an NFOA member is that every single new member we add increases our strength as a force to be listened to and reckoned with in the fight to preserve our 2nd Amendment Rights.

We are here in Nebraska;

We will be the voice of Nebraska Firearms Owners.
