Saturday morning began with a bang at Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center as children and law enforcement officials lined up with BB guns in a friendly shooting competition. The annual event began after Sherman Pass, coach of the Hall County 4-H sharpshooters club, had seen too many tragic stories involving children and improper gun safety and decided to do something about it. “Twelve years ago, I had a vision to do something, to have a positive between kids and guns, and how better to that than to involve law enforcement?” he said.
