Volunteers Rick Ekkel and Chuck Mercanti brought their expertise in firearms safety training and shooting to the gun club on Sunday afternoon after a request from a women’s group for some training. Rick and Chuck, also directors of the club, spent several hours with the women taking them through basic firearms safety and then down to the indoor range for some .22 rifle and handgun shooting.
