Our Work
The Elmer Geronimo Pratt Pistol and Rifle Gun Club fully affirm the right and duty of Black people to protect ourselves, our families and our communities and we embody that belief by leading by example. Our members and leaders never fail to rise to the occasion- from training those with the genuine desire to learn and serving the unhoused, to working with those with like-minded goals and making the political push needed to change unjust laws and influence the political landscape; all of these actions are sorely needed to improve the quality of life for our community. We will never stop fighting for justice for Black America.
