ProArms News & Views

This has been an exciting year for the team at ProArms and Johns Lawn Equipment. We really launched ProArms last
November with the move into the new building at Johns Lawn Equipment. The new building and the new business has been an
exhilarating experience to say the least. We have not been able to make as many of the local matches as we wanted with the adult
responsibility thing going on and the added work load, but we have been blessed in this venture. We have had a tremendous amount
of support from friends and the community.

I also want to thank all of you for your support both in the store, through the podcast and the forums. The support we have heard
thru the forums and your comments at the matches are all much appreciated. We hope we can continue to provide you with good products, good advice and hopefully good entertainment.

I personally want to thank some people that have made this venture possible:

Terri Strayer – She has put up with my short temper at times when things have not been just right, took on a lot of extra work that came along with the new business and the expansion of the Johns Lawn Equipment and been there to support me through everything that we have undertaken.

Mas Ayoob – His advice and mentoring in so many ways. He is such a wealth of knowledge it is unbelievable. Mas thank you.

Gail Pepin – Gail is the one that has taken care of all of the techno work. If it were not for Gail there would not be a ProArms podcast, website or blog. She has worked tirelessly to keep the podcast and all of techno stuff in order.

Herman Gunter – Herman is a long time friend who has mentored me in firearms, personal protection and life in general. Herman and I have spent many a Friday evening at the range shooting and solving all of the worlds problems. Herman is the one who introduced Terri and myself to Mas back in 1998 at the first class he taught in Live Oak.

Steve Denney – The manager of ProArms and the podcast host. He has put in a lot of extra time to get both of these endeavors going. Plus his knowledge of self defense. It all comes through at the counter of the store, in the concealed carry classes, the personal protection classes or at the range.

Chris Christian (GOF) – Everybody needs one. Chris has been the one that will grab me by the throat and stop me from going in the wrong direction. I know you have all heard he and I go back and forth during the podcasts. Exchanges like those can only happen between family and Chris is a brother to me.

I can not go into all of the things that these people mean to me in this short blog post, it would fill a book. These are not just friends these people are family.

From me and the entire ProArms Team

May all of your hits be down zero and all of your times be personal bests.
Stay safe and keep up the good fight.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
