LGFI-Lifelong Conducts Gun Safety & Handling Seminar

Tuesday, 23 August 2011 09:27

As a preliminary step towards the creation of a gun club for the Lopez Group, the Lifelong Wellness Team conducted a Gun Safety and Handling Seminar and Practice Shooting at ARMSCOR Firing Ranges in Marikina City last August 6, 2011.

The whole-day event was participated in by 26 Lopez employees and executives from Asian Eye Institute, Energy Development Corporation, First Philippine Holdings, INAEC Aviation, First Philippine Realty Corporation, First Gen, and Philec and also included staff from the Lopez Group Foundation, Inc.

The first part of the seminar was devoted to gun orientation led by Mr. Peachy Llige, a certified gun instructor from ARMSCOR.  The participants were introduced to gun matters including its parts, uses, firing positions and purpose of owning.  The discussion allowed for participants to clarify all the things that they needed to know about guns.

The second part of the activity was the practice shooting.  Each participant was given a chance to use a real gun accompanied by the instructor.

The Lifelong Wellness Team will be asking help from ARMSCOR regarding the formal creation of a Lopez Group gun club.  Lifelong is also considering a second run of the gun seminar since there have been a lot of requests from other employees who were not able to join the first time.
