Refuse To Be A Victim seminars teach methods to avoid dangerous situations and prevent criminal confrontations. Experts agree that the most important factor in surviving a criminal attack is to have an overall safety strategy before you need it. Seminar topics address personal safety issues as well as home, automobile, phone, technological, travel and personal security.
Seminar participants are presented with a variety of common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies and devices they may integrate into their daily lives. Firearm instruction is not included.
Refuse To Be A Victim was developed by the women of the NRA in 1993 in response to requests from women nationwide for crime prevention seminars.
In 1997, the program became co-ed. Since that time, it has reached tens of thousands of women and men who have benefited from the program's lifesaving message.
With more than 3,000 instructors nationwide, seminars have been presented in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

New licenses are valid March 1, 2007, through Feb. 29, 2008.
Hunters, especially those gearing up for the popular spring wild turkey season, are reminded that licenses purchased now are also valid during the 2007 fall hunting season.
Resident hunting and fishing licenses cost 19 each; deer and turkey permits are an additional 24 each. Hunters age 17 and under and some Ohio senior citizens are eligible for discounted licenses.
