The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
As Sebastian mentioned, he asked me to write a post about examples of using the carrot as opposed to the stick when it comes to leading politicians in your direction. There’s nothing better to use than a real life example, and we happen to have one from just this week. Our local state representative who … Continue reading “Political Carrots”
I noticed this story about a Friends of NRA event in the midwest that gave donors the opportunity to shoot one of the Gatling guns that Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders used at San Juan Hill plus some machine guns, and I had to say that I’m impressed a public television program actually aired … Continue reading “Machine Guns & Public Television”
Happy Constitution Day! Today, we’re celebrating with our Friends of NRA banquet. We get to send some lucky winner home tonight knowing that he/she can go pick up their KelTec KSG shotgun tomorrow morning. Or maybe the person who throws one of their stretch raffle tickets into the bucket for the Taurus handgun will be … Continue reading “Celebrating Constitution Day”
With so many major gun control legislative battles happening around the country in the spring, it was easy to miss the local level stories that reflect just how far gun control proponents really wanted to go in their crusade. Sebastian & I both missed the story recounted on this Friends of NRA committee page from … Continue reading “Attacking the Shooting Sports in Colorado”
I know I just posted about this last week, but I feel like it is my duty to report that ticket sales for our local Friends of NRA raffle are going slow. As in so slow, that I took out 100 tickets from the stash to sell, and I’ve still got like 50 of them … Continue reading “You Know You Want This Gun…”
Guess who still has tickets available for a gun drawing? That’s right, my local Friends of NRA committee. We’ve got 5 guns to draw for, including the Kimber featured here. There are also two Kahr 1911s, a Taurus, and an AR. With a maximum of 300 tickets sold for just $20 each, the odds for … Continue reading “Still Got Guns to Give Away…”
I recently found a vintage Friends of NRA committee member pin on Etsy for a steal, and I’d like to clean it up and do something cute with it. For this year, I’ll stick to just wearing it as-is. I’d like to do something crafty with it, but I don’t actually know how to make … Continue reading “Shooting-Related Craftiness”
Yesterday, I was invited to check out the facilities of a Boy Scout reservation that has benefited from a few grants funded by Eastern Pennsylvania Friends of NRA. All I can say is wow. Wow. It’s not that their facilities (shooting or otherwise) are the fanciest or most amazing I’ve ever seen. It’s the creativity … Continue reading “Producing the Next Generation of Gun Owners”
My local Friends of NRA committee has five guns to give away this September. If you liked the odds last year, you’re going to love it this year since we’ve got more guns and better odds to win. There are 300 tickets total, and 5 chances to win. Each ticket is $20. That means, should … Continue reading “Giving Away Some Guns”
Clayton Cramer blogged about the possible impact of a copper mine landslide on ammunition production, and that got me thinking about the extended impacts of today’s continued ammunition shortages. Working with the Friends of NRA program, I’ve met several local instructors for youth shooting programs. Since most of these folks work with new junior shooters, … Continue reading “Long Term Consequences of Ammo Shortages in .22”
