They’re Real, and They’re Spectacular:

Congratulations to the The TrainMeAZ campaign, who has put up the first of a series of billboards as part of their campaign to get the word out about how every gun owner in Arizona can ensure they are well trained and safe when handling a firearm.

A billboard just like the one above has been placed on the south side of Interstate 17, at the Peoria exit in Phoenix, and it’s estimated 135,000 people will see it every day.

You can take look at the other billboard designs that should be popping up around town at TrainMeAz.com. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out their list of shooting ranges and training opportunities in Arizona.

h/t to Alan Korwin for updating us with billboard information, via his Page 9 monthly email newsletter.

UPDATE 10/20/2010 – Mr. Korwin has additional information about the campaign, as well as additional billboard photos on his blog.
