But members of the grassroots organization Georgiacarry.org say many statistics are twisted and guns can save lives if they’re in the right hands. [More]
This is the kind of coverage you couldn't buy. Sure, they give the obligatory nod to the antis, but overall, my source from
Georgia Carry tells me:
Reporters can be won over. Ashley Olmstead ran a news story recently on the surge in firearms license applications in Georgia that had some factual and legal errors in it. When GCO members pointed this out to her, she immediately corrected the errors. In response, local GCO members invited her shooting this morning. She had never shot a pistol before, and neither had her cameraman. They ended up having a blast and stayed so long that they were late for a subsequent story. Here is a link to the news video that ran this evening. http://www.georgiacarry.org/ with the headline, Grassroots Group Fights for More Gun Rights. It is a good piece, and our members represented themselves very well.

Whoo Hooo- thanks for some badly needed 'good news' at a time we could really use some.

How wonderful! A breath of fresh air, indeed! We need to write to THEM to express appreciation.
ReplyDeleteI know many gun owners don't like the media, but I thinks this helps prove that many of their default "anti-gun" positions are based strictly on ignorance and intellectual laziness. Imagine what would happen if more local groups like GeorgiaCarry.org made these types of outreaches every day? What do you think would happen if one in every ten gun owners took it upon themselves to educate an anti-gunner (in a friendly and nonthreatening way) about the truth of the issue?
ReplyDeleteIf something like that happened, it wouldn't matter WHAT Barak Obama and his cohorts thought about guns, now would it?
