Second Amendment Club of America hosted their first Women's Class for 2009. It was a free class and all women were encouraged to attend. President of the club John DiGaetano, said "The Ladies learned about the different types of handguns, and how to handle and clean them as well as the correct type of ammo to use." DiGaetano continued, " The ladies really enjoyed the target and self defense shooting. It was our largest class ever. we had expected about 15 Women but 39 women showed up, and that's great. I plan on having another class in a few months so I will start taking names now of any women who want to take this class, and all the classes are FREE."
