NRA Gun Safety Class At TRW

A discussion this morning on Facebook about the recent Ninth Circuit Court panel's ruling on gun advertising in junior sports magazines reminded me that I took the National Rifle Association gun safety class while in the Boy Scouts (Troop 158 in Los Angeles) at the TRW Space Park in Redondo Beach.

I had done target shooting prior to this with my dad and neighborhood friends at Centinela Park in Inglewood, California, so I was already familiar with handguns.

The TRW Space Park now belongs to Northrop Grumman. 

The NRA gun safety class was held in a conference room in the tallest building at the Space Park. 

Here's a photo (from a post card) of the building (the white one) and Space Park when it was still TRW:

The Boy Scouts still has a shooting sports safety program. For information,, go here.
