Does anybody have a picture of these things?

If they can play double duty as handgun targets I'll snag a few dozen of them.

 

[Kindrox]

I started with 20 each. We will see how many more I need. I also emailed my friends and shared the link on another board. Lets own them all! To think I pay for targets.

 

[.cheese.]

I say when they come... we take them to the range as mentioned above... then post the pics here, along with the caption, "No gun violence was involved in the making of this picture."

 

[TCB in TN]

Someone needs to post pics of these posters, I may have to get a few myself.

I would be interesting to find out what handgun loads can penetrate the most pamphlets.

 

[The Deer Hunter]

Send an email to the guy at the Box o truth site.

 

[bumpster]

This "Native American" just ordered a batch of posters. Assuming they are blank on the back, they will make good target backgrounds.

more info on the "STOP2" campaign

from their website:

ABOUT STOP 2

Everyday in the United States, 80 people die in shootings associated with "suicide, homicide, and unintentional injuries." Ten of those who die are children. The epidemic of firearm violence affects us all. Health care providers are natural messengers of safety/health information and have the daily opportunity to speak to patients/clients and their families about guns they are likely to come in contact with in their own homes or in the homes of relatives or friends they visit.

Steps To Prevent Firearm Injury In The Home (STOP 2), launched by the Center in 1998, is a counseling tool that prepares health care providers across a wide range of disciplines (nurses, social workers, psychologists, health educators, counselors, etc.) to talk with patients/clients and their families about the dangers of keeping a gun in the home. The key concept is to assist the user in incorporating gun violence prevention in their routine injury prevention counseling.

Assisting the Brady Center in developing these materials was a technical advisory committee representing the following organizations:

American Academy of Family Physicians
American Medical Student Association/Foundation
Association of Black Psychologists
Indian Health Service
The Handgun Epidemic Lowering Plan (HELP) Network
National Association of Black Social Workers
National Coalition of Hispanic Health and Human Services Organizations
Organization of Chinese Americans
University of Maryland School of Nursing

The program is delivered in the form of a kit that contains information about toddlers, children, preteens, adults, and senior citizens - the entire family. STOP 2 also contains information about minority/diverse populations.

The "toddlers, children, et Al." language in the last sentence contains a link to the following "further info":
