Charter Arms Selects PMI andW.L. Carter to RepresentFirearms LineMAR 22, 2011 02:11P.M.

Charter Arms Selects PMI and W.L. Carter to Represent

Firearms Product Line

Charter Arms

Shelton, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Charter Arms, manufacturer of

American-made affordable and reliable revolvers for over forty-six years,

has named Professional Marketing Inc., of Starkville, Mississippi and

W.L. Carter Company of College Station, Texas as their latest

manufacturer’s representatives serving dealers and distributors.

Nick Ecker, president of Charter Arms revealed why he chose

PMI, saying, “I really admire Tom Wiley’s passion as an

entrepreneur and businessman in our industry. Charter Arms

has always had a very strong following in the southeast states

and now with Tom and his team, they will broaden our reach

to bring Charter Arms directly to neighborhood shooting

sports dealers and distributors in the southeast.”

Tom Wiley, president of Professional Marketing, Inc., said,

“In recently visiting the Charter Arms factory, I was

impressed how the employees take great pride in their work

and the sense of family spirit that permeates the plant.

‘Whatever it Takes’ is our company philosophy and with that

approach we believe we will grow sales and profits for our

clients while maintaining professional and ethical principles.

That philosophy aligns itself perfectly with Charter Arms’

tradition and Charter’s terrific customer service.”

Nick Ecker additionally notes, “The W.L. Carter Company

thoroughly covers, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and

Oklahoma, the TALO states, which recently have seen an

increase in the number of new concealed carry licenses

issued. In Texas alone, there were more than four hundred

thousand people licensed for concealed carry at the beginning

of this year, and many of those newly licensed are women.

We’re expecting to bring our popular colored frame revolvers

to those women who want to establish their style while

carrying an affordable and reliable firearm.”

Tim Locker of W.L. Carter Company predicts, “Our team of

reps will be developing a regional marketing plan for Charter

Arms that will broadly expand its brand among distributors,

retailers and their loyal customers. We are excited to be a

part of the Charter team and proud to represent the industry

standard of American made revolvers. Seeing firsthand the

hand craftsmanship of each Charter revolver and the first

class customer service sealed our relationship. We will carry

that same message to our customers so they will better

understand the uniqueness of Charter Arms and their quality

products in today’s business environment.”

Founded in 1964, Charter Arms manufactures a full line of revolvers

made by professional, skilled American craftsmen in Shelton, CT, in the

heart of New England’s firearm valley. Steeped in rich tradition with

unmatched customer service, Charter Arms revolvers are consistently

associated with personal protection because of their strength, reliability

and accuracy. All Charter Arms revolvers are covered by a lifetime

Is The Rhino A Big Animal OrWeird HandgunMAR 22, 2011 01:44P.M.

Is The Rhino A Big Animal Or Weird Handgun

It’s Strange, New and It’s Powerful!

Rhino Revolver 20D

MKS Supply

Dayton OH --(Ammoland.com)- MKS Supply, Inc. The Rhino is a

totally new, ergonomically designed revolutionary designed firearm and

the Rhino looks like no other handgun and for several good reasons.

Shown is the 2-inch barrel version in matt electorless nickel

Yes, we know. It’s out of the box advanced design is a little weird looking

but it really is the first serious significant new revolver improvement in

over 100 years!

Why?

The Rhino fires from the bottom chamber (6:00 position). This is unlike

any other handgun. The low-barrel design shifts recoil in-line with the

shooter’s forearm and upper arm (No, it won’t crush your body; shatter

your arm; or lower your I.Q.; okay, it may do that).

The relocated barrel nearly eliminates shooter felt recoil and muzzle flip

and allows the shooter to fire incredibly fast highly-accurate repeat shots

from the hard recoiling and powerful .357 Magnum cartridge.

The unique Rhino trigger and firing control mechanism results in this

revolver operating smoothly (no hammer movement) and in a manner

very similar in operation to that of a semi-automatic handgun. Some

refer (not accurate) to it as a semi-automatic revolver.

The Rhino’s unique hexagonal flat side shaped (round) cylinder makes

for a thinner profile when carried legally concealed (and at these prices

this new hand made high-tech revolver will not be in gang banger’s

pockets).

The Rhino really is the new high-end high-performance Ferrari of

handguns. The Rhino was designed and made in Italy in one of the

worlds most modern hospital clean firearm factories.

• Caliber: .357 magnum (and .38 Special of course)

• Basic weight: Only 25-ounces with a 4-inch barrel.

• Frame material: Ergal (a special proprietary high-strength aircraft

aluminum alloy)Metal finish: Matte/brushed electroless nickel or

black

• Capacity: 6-rounds

• Barrel lengths and MSRP: 2-inch $799; 4-inch, $899; 5-inch,

$925; 6-inch, $980.

• Special feature: Military style Picatinny rail under the barrel to

allow for flashlights or laser sighting systems (rail is not available

on the 2-inch model). The 2-inch model comes with a handmade

Italian leather holster.

• Availability: As of early 2011 marketed across North America to

licensed FFL dealers.

California Sutter CountySupervisors Vote to Hold Off onConsidering Proposed Anti-Hunting OrdinanceMAR 22, 2011 01:32P.M.

California Sutter County Supervisors Vote to Hold Off on

Considering Proposed Anti-Hunting Ordinance

California Rifle and Pistol Association

Sacramento, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Sutter County, California: On

March 14, 2011, in a standing room only meeting, the Sutter County

Board of Supervisors voted to delay considering a proposed amendment

to a firearm discharge ordinance that would expand the County’s existing

ban on discharging firearms and archery tackle in certain areas to

include levees in the county.

The Feather River levees are popular hunting grounds, and the proposed

amendment would ban hunting there. The proposal apparently stemmed

from “levee workers pushing for the ban after encountering gun-toting

people on the levees who’d fired somewhat indiscriminately in the river

bottoms below,” according to an article in the Appeal Democrat.

National Rifle Association (NRA) and the California Rifle and Pistol

Association (CRPA) representatives attended the meeting, pointed out

problems with the proposal, and urged the Board of Supervisors to not

take the proposed action. After considering the impacts on hunting

brought to their attention at the meeting, the Supervisors agreed to work

with NRA, CRPA, and the hunters those associations represent to work

to protect hunting on the Feather River levees. The Board voted to delay

the proposal’s consideration to allow input from hunters rights groups.

NRA/CRPA lawyers are now studying the proposed ordinance to provide

input. The California Department of Fish & Game (DFG) is also studying

the proposal. Generally, the regulation of hunting is exclusively the job of

DFG and outside the parview of local government.

The Board of Supervisors will reconsider this proposed ordinance,

perhaps with revisions, at its April 26 meeting, located at the Sutter

County Hall of Records, 466 Second Street in Yuba City, at 7 p.m. Please

call the Board of Supervisor’s at (530) 822-7106 thanking them for their

willingness to work with the NRA, CRPA and hunters.

Sutter County Board of Supervisors

• District 1: Larry Montna

• District 2: Stan Cleveland

• District 3: Larry Munger – Vice Chairman

• District 4: Jim Whiteaker

• District 5: James Gallagher – Chairman

The simple but surprisingly little known fact is that hunting is one of the

safest recreational activities, and that sportsmen have been the backbone

of natural resources conservation, and conservation funding, for more

than a century. It has become far too difficult for the average hunter to

find a place to hunt in California. We must protect all the available

hunting lands that still remain, and encourage increases in hunting land

and opportunity. The numerous benefits that hunters contribute to

California, from stimulating local economies to being by far the largest

source of funding for wildlife conservation, should be encouraged, not

curtailed.

Seventeen years ago the NRA and CRPA joined forces to fight local gun

bans and local hunting regulations being written and pushed in

California by the gun ban lobby. Their coordinated efforts became the

NRA/CRPA “Local Ordinance Project” (LOP) – a statewide campaign to

fight ill-conceived local efforts at gun control and educate politicians

about available programs that are effective in reducing accidents and

violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. The

NRA/CRPA LOP has had tremendous success in beating back most of

these anti-self-defense proposals.

In addition to fighting local gun bans, for decades the NRA has been

litigating dozens of cases in California courts to promote the right to self-

defense and the 2nd Amendment. In the post Heller and McDonald legal

environment, NRA and CRPA Foundation have formed the NRA/CRPA

Foundation Legal Action Project (LAP), a joint venture to pro-actively

strike down ill-conceived gun control laws and ordinances and advance

the rights of firearms owners, specifically in California. Sometimes,

success is more likely when LAP’s litigation efforts are kept low profile,

so the details of every lawsuit are not always released.

To see a partial list of the LOP and LAP’s recent accomplishments, or to

contribute to the NRA or to the NRA/CRPAF LAP and support this and

similar Second Amendment cases, visit www.nraila.org and

About:

The California Rifle and Pistol Association “CRPA,” founded in 1875, is

dedicated to defending the rights of law-abiding citizens to responsibly

use firearms for self-defense and the defense of their loved ones, for

sport, and for all other legal activities. CRPA is the official state

association of the National Rifle Association. A California non-profit

association, CRPA is independently directed by its own Board of

Directors. CRPA’s members include law enforcement officers,

prosecutors, professionals, firearm experts, the general public, and

loving parents. CRPA has always worked to reduce the criminal misuse

of firearms and firearms accidents, while actively promoting and

organizing the competitive shooting sports and Olympic training

programs in California. We are proud to say that many CRPA

competitors are among the best in the world. Visit: www.crpa.org

Pennsylvania Schools QualifyFor NASP NationalChampionshipsMAR 22, 2011 01:25P.M.

Pennsylvania Schools Qualify For NASP National

Championships

Pennsylvania Game Commission

UNIVERSITY PARK, Centre County –-(Ammoland.com)- Excessive

rain and localized flooding may have impacted the number of students

who attended the recent National Archery in the Schools (NASP) 2011

State Tournament on March 11, but it certainly didn’t damper spirits,

according to Pennsylvania Game Commission officials, who hosted the

event at the Penn State Multi-Sport Facility in University Park, Centre

County.

The top schools in each of the three divisions – elementary, middle

school and high school – automatically qualified for the upcoming

national championships in Louisville, Kentucky, from May 13-14. In

addition, those teams that meet minimum qualifying scores also are

eligible.

The first place team in the elementary school division (grades fourth

through sixth) was Choconut Valley Elementary School. The middle

school division champions (grades seventh through eighth) were the

archers from New Castle Christian Academy. Williams Valley High

School won the high school division (grades ninth through twelfth). In

addition, the high school division teams of Halifax High School and Blue

Ridge High qualified for the national competition based on their total

scores.

Also, 50 individuals who placed first through fifth in the male and female

category for each grade level of the elementary division (fourth through

sixth) and in the middle and high school divisions also qualified for the

national competition.

For a complete list of team and individual results, go to

www.nasptournaments.org, scroll down and click on “2011 Pennsylvania

NASP State Tournament.”

In mid-2010, the Game Commission began coordinating Pennsylvania’s

NASP, which helps Pennsylvania school districts meet physical

education curriculum requirements of the state Department of

Education, while at the same time introducing them to the world of

competitive archery.

“Pennsylvania NASP has grown to include an additional 27

schools,” said Julie Imes, Game Commission Outreach

Coordinator, who oversees NASP for the agency. “We are

going to continue to work with school districts across the

state to enroll more schools in the program, and we hope to

see even more participants at next year’s competition.”

According to figures from NASP, 30 percent of students who participate

in the archery program indicate that they are more interested in other

shooting sports since taking the archery program in school. Also, more

than half of NASP participants indicated that they wanted to continue

target archery and 56 percent wanted to try archery hunting, which has a

direct relationship to the Game Commission’s mission to recruit and

retain hunters.

“From the Game Commission’s perspective, NASP® is a win-

win situation,” Imes noted.

Started in Kentucky, in 2002, NASP has spread throughout the United

States, and is now reaching around the world. By the end of the 2010-11

school year, nine million students will have gone through NASP lessons

in 9,000 schools throughout 47 states, Washington, D.C., Canada,

Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Tournaments are held at the

state, national and international levels.

NASP is a joint venture that partners with state education and wildlife

management agencies and archery equipment manufacturers and

organizations to promote student education, physical education and

participation in the lifelong sport of archery. The program’s focus is to

provide international-style archery training in physical education classes

in grades four through 12.

For more information on Pennsylvania NASP, visit the Game

Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), put your cursor on

“EDUCATION” in the menu bar at the top of the homepage and click on

“PGC NASP” in the drop-down menu listing. To get NASP started in a

Pennsylvania school, contact Julie Imes, at the Game Commission

headquarters, at 717-787-4250. Also, “PA NASP” can be found on

Facebook by searching for “Pennsylvania NASP.”

Boone and Crockett Club Honors Wildlife Management

Institute

Boone and Crockett Club

MISSOULA, Mont.--(Ammoland.com)- The Boone and Crockett Club

has presented its Theodore Roosevelt Legacy Award to an organization

commemorating 100 years of conservation leadership and partnership,

the venerable Wildlife Management Institute (WMI).

WMI received the award and recognition during the North American

Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, March 16, in Kansas City,

Mo.

Boone and Crockett Club created the award in 2008 to honor the

collaborative spirit of America’s greatest conservationist, Theodore

Roosevelt.

“Cooperative partnerships have always been a key to good conservation,

and they’re going to be even more important going forward,” said Ben

Wallace, president of the Club. “WMI has spent many decades

developing key partners in state and federal government resource

agencies, universities, businesses and organizations—and the results

have benefited every American who appreciates sound, science-based

wildlife management.”

WMI was established in 1911 by a coalition of conservationists, including

a number of Boone and Crockett Club members, who were gravely

concerned about dramatic declines in many wildlife populations. Its

founders saw a need for an independent, scientific voice dedicated to

restoring and ensuring wild populations and their habitats.

Although WMI’s methods and locations of operation have changed since

1911, it remains a small, nonprofit, scientific and educational

organization. WMI works mostly on request with federal and provincial

agencies, Congress, college and university researchers and educators,

other private conservation organizations and professional associations.

It advises, testifies and provides educational services on timely wildlife

and related issues. WMI personnel are highly educated and experienced

wildlife science and management professionals who work, typically away

from the limelight, to catalyze and facilitate strategies, actions, decisions

and programs to benefit wildlife.

Steve Williams, WMI president, said, “This award is a major

recognition of our long history, and of the many individuals

who served on our staff and worked tirelessly behind the

scenes to advance wildlife management and conservation.

Anyone who values wildlife would be honored to be

mentioned alongside Theodore Roosevelt. There isn’t a more

prestigious acknowledgment that WMI remains a critical,

collaborative resource for conservation today—and

tomorrow.”

Constitutional Carry Passed for Georgia Politicians Because

Their Life is More Valuable Than Yours

Georgia Gun Owners

Kennesaw, Georgia --(Ammoland.com)- George Orwell’s Animal

Farm reveals how politicians use the power of their office to grant special

privileges to themselves.

“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than

others.”

A buddy of mine over in South Carolina sent me an email reminding me

of one of Animal Farm’s lessons.

He heard that Georgia State Senators voted to give themselves

“Constitutional Carry” last week — and left gun owners in Georgia to be

processed and restricted like cattle just because you and I want to defend

ourselves and our families.

That is wrong. The Republicans in the State Senate are wrong…and the

gun lobbyists that concocted such a scheme should be ashamed for

selling out Georgia gun owners.

If you believe that ALL Georgians deserve “Constitutional Carry,” please

speak up.

Heavily-funded, anti-gun forces around the country, and establishment

gun lobbies, have joined together to oppose such freedom for gun

owners.

Soon after Republicans in the State Senate in Atlanta voted to give

themselves “Constitutional Carry,” a member of Georgia Gun Owners

contacted me with some disturbing information.

He indicated that his State Senator relayed to him that certain “deals”

were being negotiated behind closed doors between the House and the

Senate.

You could imagine how disgusted this member of Georgia Gun Owners

was.

He asked: “Are they back to their old tricks in Atlanta? Are

they playing politics with our rights again? The same old

backroom deals?”

You and I know the answers to those questions. Politicians have one

motivation: reelection.

Our elected officials need to know that the gun owners of Georgia are

just as important as politicians.

Our safety and security should not be relegated to “second class” just

because we haven’t won an election.

Afterall, you and I both know that most of us don’t have metal detectors

and armed guards standing watch when we go to work everyday.

Don’t let today end without contacting your elected officials in Atlanta.

Let them know that you support restoration of “Constitutional Carry” in

JPFO Launches “High Capacity Magazine Freedom Campaign”

by Rabbi Dovid Bendory, Rabbinic Director,

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.

High Capacity Magazine Freedom Campaign

Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- JPFO today launches “The High

Capacity Freedom Campaign”.

First, some background to highlight the hypocrisy and stupidity of a

high-capacity magazine ban.

Imagine you bought a Glock 17 9mm pistol a year ago. Your purchase

was legal and included two 17-round magazines. Now along come Obama

and other “common sense” gun-grabbers with a ban on “high capacity”

magazines.

The result?

Based on the so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban of 1994, a federal

mandate declares that after a certain date, the manufacture, sale, or re-

sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds is now

illegal. Such manufacture, sale or re-sale will be a felony. This is how

AWB1 (and high-cap ban) were enacted.

Of course, there will be the usual exceptions for law enforcement and

military purposes. But Joe or Jane Citizen will find themselves felons for

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 13 (13 of 20), generated 2011-03-23 02:24:27.149850 on g1t0247, dpi=225

14

selling their 17-round mag. Depending on how effective the gun haters

are, Joe and Jane may even become felons for not turning in or

registering their magazines.

Next imagine that you, with your year-old Glock, are somehow found in

possession of a 17-round magazine. When it comes to guns in this

country, the government says we’re all guilty until proven innocent.

How are you going to prove that you didn’t buy one of those high cap

magazines AFTER the ban was instated? Do you have your receipt from

the gun shop? Did you save your receipt from that mail order house that

sold you a couple of spare magazines before the ban started? Even if you

are innocent, this is going to cost you. You’ll be a front page star in the

local paper, and your attorney will earn enough to send another kid to

college for a year.

Remember, a “high cap” magazine ban was an integral part of the 1994

anti-gun law. Some States like California and New Jersey still enforce the

high cap ban, albeit with oddly differing definitions of “high cap.”

In California, “high capacity” means more than 10 rounds, unless it’s a

.22 “tube” magazine, which is exempt, or if you possessed it before the

ban, in which case it’s grandfathered. In New Jersey, “high capacity”

means 15 rounds, though such a magazine is illegal even if you possessed

it prior to the ban and even if you have no gun to put it into. (in NJ If you

own a high cap magazine, it is against the law to sell it, destroy it,

posses it or turn it in, a complete catch 22 that makes you a felon)

Apparently in New Jersey, with 15 rounds you’ll be able to protect

yourself and family from the cocaine addict gang that breaks into your

home, but in California, 10 rounds will do the job.

Meanwhile, the police can continue to carry their 17-round magazines.

That’s another part of “common sense” gun control, right?

Question: Who is more likely to be on the front lines at the next

Columbine or Virginia Tech, the police with their large magazines, or you

and me with our 10-round limit? How many rounds do you want when

you are on the front line? Is the policeman’s life more valuable than

yours and mine?

Friends, as a Jew, I have a deeply ingrained distrust of any government

that promises it will “protect me.” The history of the Twentieth Century

teaches us that “gun control” registration schemes lead to political

decisions to allow some populations to protect themselves while others

are disarmed. Gun control is inexorably tied to malevolent citizen

disarmament. See: “INNOCENTS BETRAYED”

JPFO’s answer to all of this? The “High Capacity Freedom Campaign” –

“High Cap Freedom” for short.

What is High Cap Freedom?

JPFO now asks EVERY responsible American gun owner to, as soon as

possible, purchase at least one high capacity magazine. Even if you don’t

own a firearm that requires magazines, buy at least one “high cap” mag

for a commonly owned pistol or rifle. (It may even be one of the fastest-

appreciating investments you ever make!)

Why? Because we want the production of all those millions and millions

of magazines in the “pipeline” before any ban can take effect.

The surge of orders from “High Cap Freedom” will quickly flood the

manufacturers. You may not be able to get an original factory mag, but

soon reputable accessory manufacturers will begin making them 24/7,

and we’ll see new manufacturers enter the market. The result? More

magazine choices, at better prices, for all of us. More accessory choices –

and millions more existing high cap magazines in circulation before a

ban can take effect.

Help JPFO launch “High Cap Freedom”. Go down to your gun shop and

buy a “high cap” mag immediately! Get on the phone or your computer

and place your order with an accessory mail order house right now!

Welcome to “High Cap Freedom”, Phase One.

There’s more to come… JPFO will soon reveal our greater strategy.

Get busy! “ Freedom is not a spectator sport.”

Janet Napolitano Under-Exaggerating US BorderViolenceMAR 22, 2011 09:51A.M.

Janet Napolitano Under-Exaggerating US Border Violence

By Chuck Norris

AmmoLand Gun News

Dallas, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- After a decade of playing one on

television, I, along with my brother Aaron, was blessed a few months ago

to become a real Texas Ranger in the presence of Gov. Rick Perry, fellow

Texas Rangers and many others.

Perry mentioned at that induction: “As the drug cartels have turned up

the heat on the other side of that border over the past few years, we

have invested significant state resources to secure our border, looking

to local police departments, county sheriffs, game wardens and even

Texas Military Forces. However, when it was time to take the fight to

the bad guys, there was only one choice to lead our efforts, so we

formed our Ranger recon teams. It is reassuring to know that our

Rangers are on the job, especially in light of ongoing reports of

deteriorating conditions, with kidnappings, assassinations and

terroristic acts just miles from Texas communities.”

Only weeks later, on Jan. 31, Homeland Security Secretary Janet

Napolitano asked public officials to stop exaggerating claims of violence

on the U.S. side of the border and “be honest with the people we serve.”

She added: “Let’s stick with the facts. We need to be upfront and clear

about what’s really happening along our borders.”

The latest statistics show that 34,000 people have been killed in Mexico

because of organized crime and drug trafficking during the past five

years alone, and officials expect that number to rise. Yet we don’t expect

that escalating violence to increasingly spill over into the U.S.?

Consider just a few recent tragedies in my own state of Texas:

• In April 2010, on a street in Fort Hancock, Texas, four Hudspeth

County employees were working on a remote unpaved road, when

an unknown gunman fired from across the Rio Grande. (In a

January 2011 letter to the U.S. House of Representatives’ Judiciary

and Homeland Security committees, Texas Attorney General Greg

Abbott described the shooting as “yet another incident involving

cartel-related gunfire.”)

• In June 2010, El Paso’s City Hall was struck by at least seven shots

fired from across the border in Ciudad Juarez, the epicenter of

Mexico’s ongoing drug war.

• In August 2010, at least one stray bullet from Mexico hit a building

at the University of Texas at El Paso.

• In October 2010, U.S. tourist David Hartley reportedly was shot by

a Mexican gunman.

• In November, the University of Texas at Brownsville temporarily

canceled classes because of ongoing gunfire across the border in

Matamoros, Mexico.

And what about violence in other border states? Exaggerating border

violence?

I agree with Rep. Ben Quayle, R-Ariz., who said that for cattle ranchers,

the daily reality of drug and human smugglers traversing their property

is “far more impacting” than Napolitano conveys. Quayle went on to say,

“Statistics and averages might mean something to government

bureaucrats and analysts in Washington, but try telling the people who

deal with these realities every day that the violence along the border

has subsided.”

Because of the feds’ ineptness and passivity, it’s no wonder that half the

states in our union are taking matters into their own hands regarding

border enforcement and immigration.

Arizona-style laws have been proposed in approximately 24 other states.

A total of 346 laws and resolutions related to immigration were approved

by state lawmakers in 2010, according to the National Conference of

State Legislatures. More than 100 immigration-related bills are pending

in Texas.

Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples just

launched ProtectYourTexasBorder.com, where users can upload pictures

and videos about their experiences with suspected drug traffickers at the

Mexican border. The goal of the website is to warn the public about not

only the dangers to farmers and ranchers but also the potential impacts

on the nation’s food supply.

According to the Texas Department of Agriculture, at the

Texan border alone there are:

• Close to 8,200 farms and ranches, covering more than 15 million

acres.

• Producers of beef, fruits and vegetables that are essential to the

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 15 (15 of 20), generated 2011-03-23 02:24:27.206418 on g1t0247, dpi=225

nation’s food supply.

• Counties that account for about half the state’s fruit and vegetable

production and about 4 percent of the state’s total agricultural

income.

• Farms and ranches that make more than $700 million in

agricultural sales every year.

Exaggerating border violence?

The only ones exaggerating are the feds — under-exaggerating the threat

and severity of border violence and over-exaggerating their success of

securing the United States’ southwestern border.

In fact, this past Thursday, Napolitano continued her same Obama-

victorious-song-and-dance act at the U.S.-Mexico Congressional Border

Issues Conference, boasting of (as summarized by her office) the Obama

administration’s “unprecedented efforts to strengthen security along the

Southwest border, which include increasing the number of Border

Patrol agents from approximately 10,000 in 2004 to more than 20,700

today.”

But while the Obama administration continues to embellish its record,

PolitiFact pointed out that it’s actually stealing its predecessor’s glory:

“President George W. Bush was responsible for adding many of the

agents on the ground now.”

Paul Babeu, sheriff of Pinal County, Ariz., put it well when he said that

Napolitano’s talking points about security on the border have “more to

do with political pivoting for the 2012 elections than (they do) with

what is happening on the border.”

Ms. Napolitano, the truth is it’s you who is misleading the

public. Playing down border violence and trumping up

Washington’s successes may be effective for campaign

rhetoric, but it’s killing our citizens — literally.

At least I can agree 100 percent with you on this point: As you said back

on Jan. 31, let’s “be honest with the people we serve. … Let’s stick with

the facts. We need to be upfront and clear about what’s really

happening along our borders.”

Stop Doctors From Interrogating Children about ‘Daddy’s

Guns’

SB 432 – FL Senate Committee on Health Regulation.

Florida Carry

Florida - -(Ammoland.com)- SB 432 is on the agenda of FL Senate

Committee on Health Regulation on Tuesday, March 22. Florida Carry,

Inc. urgently requests that you send e-mails via the links provided to

each of the committees members in support of Senate Bill 432.

SB 432 provides that inquiries by physicians or other medical personnel

concerning the ownership of a firearm by a patient or the family of a

patient or the presence of a firearm in a private home or other domicile

of a patient or the family of a patient violates the privacy of the patient or

the patient’s family members, respectively.

The bill also prohibits entry of certain information concerning firearms

into medical records or disclosure of such information by specified

individuals, provides noncriminal penalties, and provides for

prosecution of violations, etc.

Primarily, but not limited to the American Academy of Pediatrics, had

made the banning of handguns a priority under the guise of a children’s

safety issue.

Not satisfied with merely providing household safety information,

doctors have been specifically asking both parents AND CHILDREN

about guns in the home, and have denied service to those who refuse to

answer.

A woman in Ocala, FL refused to answer her pediatrician’s

inquiries during her daughters routing physical checkup and

as a result was given 30 days to find a replacement

pediatrician for her three children. Not everyone has the

money, time, or transportation to find another pediatrician.

Firearm ownership information has been entered on patient

records, and has been released to unauthorized third parties.

A mother in Uxbridge, MA objected to her child being asked

about “daddy’s guns”, and stopped the doctor’s intrusive

questioning. Days later, she found out from a friend on the

police force that the doctor had filed a report about the

family’s lawful ownership of guns.

In fact, one of our own members was subjected to this intrusion. He

posted his experience here:

www.floridacarry.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=71#p913

There are exceptions in the bill for legitimate inquiries with regards to

mental health professionals and emergency situations, and there is

nothing that prevents a doctor from providing information on any topic

including firearms safety.

The bill merely prevents doctors from asking about firearms and then

denying service based on an answer not to their liking.

stopped the doctor’s intrusive questioning. Days later, she

found out from a friend on the local police force that the

doctor had filed a report about the family’s lawful

ownership of guns.

There are exceptions in the bill for legitimate inquiries with

regards to mental health professionals and emergency

situations, and there is nothing that prevents a doctor from

providing information on any topic including firearms

safety. The bill merely prevents doctors from asking about

firearms and then denying service based on an answer not

to their liking.

Please vote in favor of SB 432.

Texas Bill Would Drop Recoginition of Other States Concealed

Handgun Licenses

Contact and Stop Bad Bill HB 356.

Texas State Rifle Association

Houston, Tx --(Ammoland.com)- Tomorrow, House Committee on

Homeland Security and Public Safety will be hear HB 356 in committee.

This means public testimony, if any, will be taken and considered. We

need your help!

HB 356 was filed by F rated, State Representative Lon Burnam (D-Fort

Worth). The change to proposed law states that a person’s concealed

handgun license issued by another state would not be recognized in

Texas if the person as established residency in Texas.

Snowbirds and other part-time Texans with an out of state concealed

carry license, who live at least part of the time in Texas, have enjoyed the

privilege of carrying with their home state’s license based on a reciprocal

agreement. If HB 356 passes this tradition would effectively end when

the licensees reaches the six month residency requirement.

You might recall as recently as two years ago, DPS was extremely behind

on processing new and renewing Texas Concealed Handgun Licenses,

and Texans sought out of state licenses. This was often required to be

able to continue to carry and no fault of the Texan. If HB 356 were to

pass the Texas licensee would find his out-of- state-carry license invalid,

long before it expires.

This would also be true for over 5500 Texans who opted to get the Utah

license. Utah certified out of state instructors to present and promote

their inexpensive, easy to obtain concealed handgun license, to the

annoyance of other states. Utah lost reciprocity with Nevada and New

Mexico because of this practice of soliciting the Utah license in other

states.

This year the Utah Legislature passed legislation requiring a person from

a state which offers a concealed handgun license to have that state’s

license before obtaining the Utah license.

If HB 356 passes, Texans, your Utah license will no longer be recognized,

the license you obtained in good faith will disappear long before it

expires. Keep in mind, the basic criteria for reciprocity is the background

check.

Please call or email members of the House Committee on Homeland

Security and Public Safety and tell them to Stop HB 356. Rep. Lon

Burnam is F rated by TSRA and it’s a long standing F. He is not working

on behalf of gun owners or public safety.
