Hunting teaches respect for laws as they gain knowledge about game and land management.

Charles Heller wears many hats.  Charles is one of 4 co-founders of The Arizona Citizens Defense League (AZCDL), and serves as media coordinator for that organization.  Charles is also the former executive director of Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), and serves as media coordinator. Charles has been an Arizona concealed weapons instructor for 22 years.

Says Charles, “I am an avid naval history buff with a specialty in undersea warfare.  I’ve visited 25 of the 28 submarines on display in the U.S., and 2 which are not on display, and worked on one as a kid.  And I a dog lover”.
