Gun owners sharply divided over CCRKBA background check support

Crashing the Party

The Organizing for Action group set up an information table and hoisted picket signs in a private parking lot adjacent to where the fair was taking place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The gun control advocates, which included Corte Madera Mayor Diane Furst and Larkspur Councilwoman Ann Morrison, were later ordered to move out of the parking lot after the YMCA complained to the property manager in charge of the lot.

Cleveland to write out passes to certify that each of his captors were good Whigs. Fearing that he would be killed soon thereafter, Col. Cleveland took his time, blaming his delay on poor penmanship.
