whose members are involved in Hunting, Competitive Shooting, Law
Enforcement, Firearms Training and Safety Classes, Firearms Safety Training
of Youngsters, Gun Collecting, Trap and Skeet, and Plinking. The coalition
represents and speaks for approximately 100,000 gun owners. |

This organization was originally founded as
the Lehigh Valley Firearms Coalition (LVFC) in 1995 by John Brinson
and Jack Iannantuono. The year 1999 was a special year for the coalition
because it became incorporated as a non profit organization and immediately
started running very effective radio ads. Since its inception both
coalition spokesmen have traveled the Lehigh Valley spreading the word and
building the organization to include many member organizations.
Initially the LVFC represented only the four counties of Berks, Bucks,
Lehigh and Northampton. In late 2007 it was decided to expand the
coalition's representation into the counties of Carbon, Monroe and
Schuylkill. In September of 2008 it became evident that the organization's name
should be change to the Eastern Pennsylvania Firearms Coalition (EPAFC).

John and Jack also have spent time traveling to Harrisburg, testifying in
front of several state committees to prevent anti-gun legislation from becoming
law. They both know many of the legislators in Harrisburg, but it does not end
there. Both men are on hand to testify locally to prevent the passage of
bad laws, as recently was the case in April of 2007. Both gentlemen testified in
Allentown before a traveling state committee that was trying to pass a few dozen
very bad laws proposed by Philadelphia politicians. |

The EPAFC is strictly a volunteer organization. Nobody involved is
paid and all activities depend upon donations. Our biggest assets are the radio
ads that so many have heard over the years. The ads have come to represent the
coalition in the minds of many gun enthusiasts. |
 |
The EPAFC invites to you look over our website and please return to
it often. If you belong to a club of shooters, hunters, etc. please spread
the word about the coalition to your club management. Jack and John would be happy
to inform them about the
EPAFC by paying your club a visit. |
