Headline: Gun owners sought to fire another 'Shot Heard 'Round the World'

Kevin Cox of Utah has organized an event for April 19, when gun owners in all 50 states will fire their guns at the same time on the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War.

The event is being called the "Shot Heard 'Round The World," referring to the first shot fired during the battles of Lexington and Concord (in the province of Massachusetts Bay) on April 19, 1775.

According to a Feb. 10 article by Cowboy State Daily, at 8:30 a.m. April 19, members of the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) plan to shoot their guns to commemorate those battles' opening shot.

“If California can do this, of all the states in the union, then the rest of us should get busy and see what we can organize,” Cox told Cowboy State Daily.

According to the article, Cox previously lived in California and belonged to the CRPA. He’s still on their email list, which is how he found out about their commemorative shoot.

That inspired him to organize a shot heard ‘round the world event at the Red Cliffs Rifle and Pistol Range near St. George, Utah.

If the idea of firing shots at gun ranges across the country that day catches on, dealing with multiple time zones could make things complicated, Cox said in the article.

So rather than trying to pull off a simultaneous volley from coast to coast, it might work better to have the event roll through the different time zones, he said. Volleys could be fired at 8:30 a.m. in each time zone.
