2018 Speaker Program
May 26, 2018
PAULA BEESON
“Gun Basics for Writing Authentic Pistol-Packin’ Prose’
Paula Beeson is an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor. As owner of the Kokomo-based Safe Shotz, LLC, Paula offers individual and group classes, teaching gun-conscious citizens the correct way to handle a variety of firearms — including pistols, rifles and shotguns — with an emphasis on safety and responsibility.
During her presentation for Speed City Sisters in Crime, Paula will discuss the types and purposes of various firearms, their proper handling, safety precautions, and what to expect and how to react when firearms are drawn. She will demonstrate how to look down the sights, rack the slide, cock or de-cock, and tell whether a weapon is loaded or unloaded. She will provide the audience with non-usable replicas for a hands-on experience.
Paula invites members to bring two minutes of their best “pistol-packin’ prose” to share aloud
during the program. She will follow each reading with a critique, informing the writer whether their prose
was on target or where they missed their mark.
Paula has more than 35 years’ experience with firearms. She is an NRA Range Safety Officer, as well as a 4-H and Indiana Department of Natural Resources Hunter Education Instructor. Check out her website at www. safeshotz.com and her Facebook page, www.facebook.com/safeshotz, where you will find all kinds of safety-related topics.
And … DON’T FORGET: Bring two minutes of your best scene involving a gun!
