We want to also show the public that it isn't just criminals that have guns, but good, upstanding members of the community are armed and capable of defending themselves, and those innocents around them. …

Arizona Outdoors Activities Group is a non profit Meetup group that was founded by Kathleen Winans, and Marsha Bidwell in September 2010.

After meeting each other at a camp-out involving cooking fo …
