Sisters in Crime presents: A Firearms Briefing

Do you have questions about how to depict firearms realistically in your stories? Come to this safe* hands-on show-and-tell with expert Jim Guigli. Bring all your firearms questions and a treat to share. The event includes a potluck lunch and door prizes!

*The demonstration will not use real guns or live ammunition, plastic replicas and simulators used by law enforcement will be used.

Free to all. No reservations required but do bring something a dish.

 

After growing up in the Chicago area, Jim Guigli moved to California to study the Russian language at Monterey in the Army, earned a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute (Photography 1970), and an MA from Humboldt State (Art/Photography 1973).
