Civilian Marksmanship Program (Buy an M-1 Garand)
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a national organization dedicated to training and educating U. S. citizens in responsible uses of firearms and airguns through gun safety training, marksmanship training and competitions. The CMP is a federally chartered 501 (c) (3) corporation that places its highest priority on serving youth through gun safety and marksmanship activities that encourage personal growth and build life skills. Links on this page will lead you to more detailed information about the CMP and its programs.
The program was changed in 1996 from being supported fully by the US Government to being forced to pay for itself. This was Clinton’s attempt to get rid of this program and anything else that had to do with the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution. You can still get an M-1 Garand from the U.S. Government (for now).
