The Freedom Flyer
23 years of JPFO fighting for your freedoms
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership is glad to announce the updated "Freedom Flyer" which can be obtained in PDF form for printing, link is shown below. It will tell you much about the history of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership and we would remind readers of an interview between our late founder Aaron Zelman, and JPFO contributor Kirby Ferris.
The Flyer shows a chonological listing of JPFO's history, growth and its many outstanding achievements. The list is perhaps in many ways a definitive collection of most of the critical key subjects and pages within the hundreds of files JPFO has made over time and so is a valuable starting point for new visitors as well as those who come often. Below this chronological Flyer listing is a section of further important site links.
The updated Freedom Flyer is available to download as a PDF file
(The original Freedom Flyer from 2009 is still available.)

December 21, 2010, Aaron Zelman, founder of JPFO and its visionary director for 21 years,
passes on from this world. May his memory be for a blessing.
One of the problems in a site now 12 years old is that of navigation. In JPFO's early days, pages tended to ''happen'' and were probably well linked at the time, but with now over 2,500 pages on the site much material is somewhat ''buried" and some is outdated, complete with dead links.
The above chronology helps to put many important links together and numerous pages have now been updated - an ongoing task. There are however many other pages of great importance and so the list below has been made to further expand options for finding those.
In the header links menu bar be sure to also check out the "Site Links various" and also the "BoR Page Index" - these among others help bring access to the most important material. Another good research tool is the search feature, plus a browse of our Alerts Archive which will also bring up a lot.
