The monument has been seated since late August. They had to wait until they could put the death date on it. I have pictures but I have yet had the courage to go see it in person. Its seated near a church they had planted there with 2 park benches flanking it.Sadly, she now finds herself battling cancer of her own. If you'd like to help, You can send checks, money orders or cash to:
Rosey Vanderboegh
PO Box 926
Pinson, AL 35126
If any want to argue with that, they can go to hell, and they're not worth my time to acknowledge. My understanding is the "final" was on a thumb drive that cannot be located. How that will be worked around I cannot say, but I stand ready to help with promotion if and when appropriate.

More Dots to Connect
Earlier this year, according to Schmidt, the NRA approached USCCA to talk about partnering to create a program that looks a lot like what the larger group is now marketing as Carry Guard. Schmidt said he walked an NRA representative through how USCCA’s coverage works. But then he never heard anything more from the NRA about the plan — until he got the letter disinviting him from the convention in Atlanta. [More]That's in line with information I had when I wrote my first piece on this but did not elaborate on. It's not uncommon to have more raw "intel" than is disclosed in a story due to different levels of corroboration for different elements. There is more on what was done to Second Call Defense as well that has not been made public -- yet.
I hope people at the Annual Meeting give NRA an earful.

I Hate to Say I Told You So
For decades, gun rights were a somewhat tricky subject for Democrats running in what used to be a red state, but demographic shifts and the voting power of populous Northern Virginia has allowed Democrats to make calls for tighter gun restrictions a key part of their platform, even if it means risking the ire of the politically powerful gun-rights group headquartered in Fairfax. In the 2013 governor’s race, the NRA donated $500,000 to Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who lost to McAuliffe. [More]Thank goodness that "demographic shift" has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

Thanks for Your Vote. Now Go Away Until Next Time.
Since voters have given the GOP a veto-proof majority, three elections in a row, you might expect the Republicans to use the power we’ve vested in them to push the principles of a free republic; to fight for the recognition and protection of long-eroding gun rights, for example. Unfortunately, if you expected this you would be disappointed. Republicans have gone squishy on gun rights, and you’ll probably be perplexed by their excuse. [More]Not so much perplexed as revolted by RINOs. I wonder how many of those POS's campaigned on their creds as "staunch defenders of the Second Amendment"...?
But based on election results, nothing will change until one of the Quislings is targeted and made an example of. And then the next one. If the bastards won't do their damn job out of principle, make them do it out of fear.
The problem is, that means getting involved and actually doing something. I wonder how many gun owners there are in North Carolina and how many are members of GRNC, or ever do squat ...?

We're the Only Ones at Capacity Enough
Frankly, while magazine capacity might be an issue for members of law enforcement, it is not much of one for the legally armed citizen. Research into actual gunfights involving the armed citizen seldom shows more ammunition is needed beyond what’s in their concealed-carry revolver. Unlike the Walter Mitty-esque fantasy warriors, the armed citizen does not fight pitched battles with the trusty handgun. He or she uses it as an exit ticket, and it is just amazing what five or six rounds of quality defensive ammunition, accurately placed, can do to change the mindset and actions of a miscreant bent on mayhem. [More]Frankly, you're pretty obnoxious and judgmental, presuming one size fits all for all potential situations. And tell us about all you exalted "Only Ones" and your well-placed shots again.

Another NRA Carry Guard Competitor Dropped as Annual Meeting Exhibitor
The withholding of exhibit space stands in contrast to one of the prime reasons for attending the NRA Annual Meeting, the opportunity for gun owners to immerse themselves in an unrivaled gathering of gun industry competitors (comparable to the SHOT Show, which limits attendance to industry professionals and media). Companies gather under one roof at the most highly attended open-to-the-public firearms-related event of the year, each offering their unique brands and services, providing attendees with near-overwhelming selections and choices.
