Aim true: Anna Thomasson sets her sights on empowering women through firearms training

There’s something about firing an AR-15 on full auto that puts a big smile on your face.

At least it does for my colleague, Helen Roy. It’s also addictive, apparently; no sooner has she emptied the entire magazine into the target than she asks, “Is that all?”

‘A lot of the ladies that do come on a regular basis call it “lead therapy,” because while you’re out there, you’re going to feel all this energy hitting you, and then you just want more of it.’

Behind her, David Prince laughs knowingly. A tall, grandfatherly former CPA, Mr. Prince (as everybody calls him) owns the spacious and immaculate Eagle Gun Range, where we’ve just spent the last few hours getting a crash course in how to shoot.
