Casper Wyoming To Vote for More New Gun Control

Wyoming Gun Owners

Wyoming --(Ammoland.com)- When Constitutional Carry was signed

into law in Wyoming we knew that the anti-gun politicians would come

out of the woodwork.

And they did…by using their slick lawyer arguments and authority

hungry police chiefs they have exposed a plan is to chip away at gun

rights right under our noses.

Too bad for them we’re on to them.

Like usual they are selling their evil plan using the same old scare tactics,

but you and I know better–this is just an attempt to chip away at your

gun rights a piece at a time!

Here is what you need to know–at a recent Casper City business meeting

the council members revealed they have built a coalition to lobby against

your gun rights.

You heard it right–an anti-gun coalition right here in

Wyoming.

In fact they have become so bold that Mayor Paul Bertoglio (Republican)

and police chief Chris Walsh admitted that they are conspiring with

other towns and lobby groups to challenge your constitutionally

protected right to bear arms.

Incredibly the Casper council members are so paranoid they don’t even

want you to have a pocket knife and intend to expand the city ordinance

on sharp objects as well .

And you should have heard the City Attorney and police chief speak of

other states prohibitions as justified–an irrational thinking process that

suggests if New York does it so can Casper Wyoming.

Talk about working for outside interests.

Republicans Mayor Paul Bertoglio and Republican council member Bill

Brauer follows the lead of liberal Democrat Kim Holloway as the listen to

police chief Chris Walsh push for tougher restrictions on gun rights.

You should note that during the Casper City business meeting not one of

the council members spoke in support of the rights guaranteed by the

constitution.

They believe it’s simply up to them to wield their might with a stroke of a

pen. Who needs a constitution Right?

Wrong –and this is also a violation of state law– under Wyoming

statute municipalities cannot make their own gun laws. The problem is

there is no fine or penalty when they do.

But these slimy politicians always forget one thing –that by supporting

gun control– they may have to pay a huge political price.

That’s why I need your help to flood Casper Mayor Paul Bertoglio’s with

phone calls (307) 235-4726 and emails paulb@tribcsp.com, tell him to

“leave your gun rights alone!

To Liberty,

Anthony Bouchard

Executive Director

P.S. Wyoming Mayors have joined the anti-gun stance of New York

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and that’s why it is important for you to

become a member of Wyoming Gun Owners to help defend gun rights.

Wyoming Gun Owners is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, single-purpose

citizens’ organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the Right to

Keep and Bear Arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the

U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Section 24 of the Wyoming Constitution.

About:

When we set out to create the best waterfowl hunting clothes on the

market nearly four years ago, we knew immediately that a standard

warm coat wouldn’t be near enough to impress the hard-core hunters

that spend day after day in the field. We needed something to meet every

condition a hunter can face… we needed a “SYSTEM”. This was the

beginning of Drake Waterfowl Systems. Visit: www.drakewaterfowl.com

Florida Carry Suspends Filing of Lawsuits Against City of

Miami and Miami-Dade County Pending Planned Repeal of

Gun Control Ordinances

Florida Carry

Miami, Florida - -(Ammoland.com)- As we reported earlier, Florida

Carry, Inc. planned to file lawsuits today against the City of Miami and

Miami-Dade County to end their unlawful gun control ordinances.

Moments before the cases were filed with the court, we received

assurances from the Miami City Attorney’s Office that their unlawful

ordinances will be repealed on November 17th. Miami-Dade County has

also agendaed a measure to repeal its gun control laws.

We have subsequently decided to suspend filing the cases against Miami

and Miami-Dade. We will not file the lawsuits if the city and county

repeal the offending ordinances at their next council meetings and if

there are no attempts to enforce the preempted gun control laws before

their removal.

Florida Carry works tirelessly to resolve these issues statewide and is

pleased that these lawsuits may be avoided. We will have a small meeting

on Saturday, November 12th, at Miami-Dade’s Black Point Marina Park

to enjoy a morning of Fishing and answer any questions about Florida

Carry and our pro-gun efforts.

About: Florida Carry is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots

organization dedicated to advancing the fundamental civil right of all

Floridians to keep and bear arms for self defense as guaranteed by the

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I

Section 8 of the Florida Constitution. Florida Carry stands only to

represent our members and the over 8 million gun owners of Florida. We

are not beholden to any national organization’s agenda that may

compromise that mission.

Florida Carry works tirelessly toward striking down ill-conceived gun

control laws that have been proven to provide safe havens to criminals

and be deadly to law abiding citizens.

2011 National Archery in theSchools Program WorldChampionshipNOV 01, 2011 05:42P.M.

2011 National Archery in the Schools Program World

Championship

By Brittany Jones

National Archery in the Schools Program

USA --(Ammoland.com)- Beginning with practice rounds on Thursday

October 6 , 2011, 1,071 kids from around the world arrived at ESPN’s

Wide World of Sports Complex with their teams, teachers, parents and

siblings to kick off the 2011 National Archery in the Schools Program

(NASP) World Tournament.

According to NASP President Roy Grimes, “Out of the 1104

students who registered for ‘Worlds’, only thirty-three (3%)

students were no-shows.” Grimes also states, “This

participation level represents an increase of 19% over the 902

shooters in 2010 and 76% higher than the 609 students at

our first world tournament in 2009.”

From these statistics, it’s obvious there is a growing interest for NASP-

style archery not only in the United States, but around the world as

students from Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa joined the fun.

In fact, for the first time, a “Cultural Exchange” session was conducted at

the tournament. Teachers asked for this type of activity to increase the

educational experience for student archers. On Friday evening, half-way

through the tournament, students from Canada, New Zealand, and South

Africa positioned themselves in a booth with their country flags to meet

students from the states. The session was so popular it will be expanded

next year. Students signed flags, shared information, and answered

quizzes about foreign locations. It seemed students most enjoyed

comparing each others accent! Prizes were donated during the cultural

exchange by Field Logic, Easton Technical Products, and Morrell

Manufacturing.

Expanding upon archery’s every-kid attraction, Robert

Jellison, a Michigan NASP Coach says, “Archery is a sport

that anyone can do and anyone can succeed at. There is no

doubt in my mind that archery is a challenging sport, both

physically and mentally, but you can truly get children of

every age size, and athletic ability shooting arrows safely

down range. “Jellison also proclaims how much he loves

seeing his, “star athletes from other sports shooting on the

same team with students who have never been on a “team”

until archery.”

Evidence of Jellison’s diversity assertion was clear as students from all

backgrounds, genders, and abilities took center stage during the hour-

long awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon.

During the competition every 4th thru 12th grade student archer shot 1

practice end of 5 arrows and 3 scoring ends of 5 arrows at 10 meters.

They repeated this shooting format at 15 meters. A total of 30 scoring

arrows were shot for a possible score of 300 points and 30 bulls-eyes

(300/30). The largest division represented at the tournament with 505

boys and girls was the Elementary Division which includes grades 4th-

6th. Winners of their respective grades were as follows:

• 1st Female 4th Grade: Shelby Goodrich (276/14) — Woodlawn ES,

GA

• 1st Male 4th Grade: Spencer Bartlett (281/15) — Henderson Co. S.

Middle, KY

• 1st Female 5th Grade: Celsey Wood (278/13) — Eagle Mountain

Magnet, AR

• 1st Male 5th Grade: Jack Looney (292/22) — Eagle Mountain

Magnet, AR

• 1st Female 6th Grade: Kenzie Trent (284/19) — Anderson Co.

Middle, KY

• 1st Male 6th Grade: Clay Stevens (291/21) — Trigg Co

Intermediate, KY

The Middle School Division competition was joined by 202 male and 136

female student archers. Winners of this Division were:

• 1st Female Middle School: Ashley Padgett (292/22) — Meade Co ,

KY

• 1st Male Middle School: Cody Bush (292/22) — Philo Jr. High, OH

A total of 228 students competed in the High School Division. This

division also produced the tournaments top Overall and Runner-Up

Overall boy and girl champions.

• 1st Female HS & Overall Female Champion: Emily Bee (292/23) —

Hartland HS, MI

• Runner-Up Female Overall: Lauren Hawker (291/22): Armstrong

HS, IL

• 1st Male HS & Overall Male Champion: Ryan Long (296/26) —

Madison Southern, KY

• Runner-Up Male Overall: Nathan Parcell (295/26) — Meade Co.

HS, KY

Of course the team competition is what makes NASP tournaments

different from most other archery venues. At this world tournament co-

gender teams of 12-24 archers advanced from the NASP Nationals that

were held in Louisville, KY. All the archers on each team compete. When

their flight is finished scores for the team’s top 12 archers, including at

least 4 from both genders, are summed to determine the team’s score.

The top ranking school in the Elementary Division went to Eagle

Mountain Magnet, Arkansas with a total score of 3291. In the Middle

School Division, the top scoring team was fielded by Logan Hocking

Middle School, Ohio with a total score of 3319. And finally, the top

ranked school in the High School Division was Henderson County High

School, Kentucky, with a total score of 3400.

At the conclusion of the awards ceremony Disney’s Mickey Mouse

congratulated the students and their coaches and was still having his

picture made with archers as the ceremonies ended. A big

congratulations goes out to not only the top ranked archers at this

tournament, but to every kid who had enough determination and self-

confidence to participate. (And parents and teachers willing to bring

them!). Prizes were presented to winners by Mathews, Morrell, Easton,

and Field Logic. The University of the Cumberlands awarded $2,400

college scholarships to each of the top five boys and girls in the High

School Division. Bernie Morrell of Morrell Manufacturing provided

target butts for the competitive and practice ranges. James McGovern of

Rinehart Targets provided 15 dinosaur targets for the kids to enjoy on

the “fun” 3-D range. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation

Commission recruited most tournament volunteers and provided

additional range building equipment.

Of course this event would be impossible to present without those

dedicated and generous volunteers. Nearly 50 people came from Florida,

Virginia, Arizona, British Columbia, New Zealand, Illinois, Kentucky,

and Wisconsin to serve as range officials. The most boring location

during the entire tournament was again the 1st Aid Station with zero

accidents or injuries to treat!

It was evident in the excited smiles of student archers, proud family

members and coaches that NASP continues to live up to its claim of

“Changing Lives One Arrow at a Time”.

Laura Jones, a teacher in Virginia says “Chickahominy

Middle School started out last fall with kids who had never

drawn a bow before in their entire lives.” She also says “It was

not only their first school experience where they were treated

like adults, but their first experience being on a sports team.”

Archery has not been just another sport that kids can join and

compete, but it is a one that has made kids with little or no

confidence, kids who feel like maybe they weren’t good

enough, build self-confidence and determination and realize

they can do anything they put their minds too. “

Take for example, the Overall Male Champion, Ryan Long. Ryan was an

understudy at the Strickland Student Outdoor Adventure filming this

summer.

“Ryan advised Roy Grimes in July he intended to win the

2011 NASP world tournament”.

Grimes considered this to be quite an audacious prediction considering

Ryan placed fourth at Nationals and those who placed ahead of him

would also be at the World event. Ryan validated his prediction!

New Jersey Rockport PheasantFarm Severely Damaged ByOctober SnowstormNOV 01, 2011 04:53P.M.

New Jersey Rockport Pheasant Farm Severely Damaged By

October Snowstorm

New Jersey Fish and Game

Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The NJDEP Division of Fish and

Wildlife reports that the Rockport Pheasant Farm in Warren County

sustained severe damage from the snow that blanketed the northern

third of the state on October 29.

The 35 acres of range pens where pheasants were being held were heavily

damaged by the weight of the snow despite Game Farm staff efforts to

prepare for the storm prior to October 29.

Rockport staff and Fish and Wildlife personnel from throughout

northern New Jersey are working to stabilize the situation by capturing

escaped birds, freeing others trapped in snow collapsed pens and

repairing damaged pens.

The response effort is expected to continue throughout this week. At this

time, the number of pheasants that perished or escaped is not known.

The number of pheasants lost to the storm damage and the impact of

those losses on this year’s stocking schedule will be made public when

the response effort is concluded.

To minimize disturbance to the work of the response crews and to

facilitate the capture of escaped pheasants, Division of Fish and Wildlife

Director, Dave Chanda, has given “Refuge” status to the entire 492 acre

Rockport Wildlife Management Area, effective immediately. The order

precludes hunting of any kind and will remain in effect until the pens

have been repaired and as many pheasants as possible have been

recaptured.

Although this event will affect the number of pheasants that will be

stocked on State Wildlife Management Areas, Director Chanda is

confident there will be no reduction in the number of Wildlife

Management Areas stocked nor will there be a reduction in the number

of pheasants stocked on Saturdays, up to and including Thanksgiving.

However, the Division may not be able to stock as many weekdays or as

many pheasants on weekdays as in previous years. The Division of Fish

and Wildlife will keep hunters and the media informed as more

information becomes available through listserv messages and updates

posted on its website at www.njfishandwildlife.com .

animals during the 2011-2012 season.

The season begins for most furbearing species on November 10,

according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR),

Division of Wildlife.

“Food sources and habitat conditions for furbearers remain

good this year across Ohio,” said Division of Wildlife biologist

Suzie Prange. “Fur takers can expect another good season for

most species.”

For the seventh year, 43 counties will be open for river otter trapping

from December 26 to February 29. River otters were reintroduced into

four Ohio watersheds between 1986 and 1993 and have increased their

range in the state. They were removed from the state endangered species

list in 2002. Full details of open counties, checking and permit

requirements can be found in the Ohio River-Otter Trapping

Regulations.

In most regions of Ohio, hunting and trapping seasons for fox, raccoon,

opossum, skunk and weasel open November 10 and close January 31.

The trapping season for mink and muskrat is open November 10 through

February 29. Exceptions are Erie, Ottawa and Sandusky counties, and in

Lucas County east of the Maumee River where raccoon, opossum, skunk,

weasel, mink and muskrat trapping seasons will remain open through

March 15,

Ohio’s beaver-trapping season opens statewide December 26 and ends

February 29.

There are no daily bag limits or restrictions on hours for hunting and

trapping furbearers, with the exception of river otters, where bag limits

are dependent on the county where the trapping occurs. Special hunting

regulations for coyotes apply during the one-week, statewide deer-gun

season, November 28-December 4, and the deer-gun weekend of

December 17-18.

A fur-taker permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio hunting license

to hunt or trap furbearing animals, except for coyotes, which may be

hunted or trapped year round without a fur-taker permit. A special

ODNR Division of Wildlife permit is required to trap beaver and otters

on state public hunting areas.

Otters that are accidentally captured, either in excess of bag limits or in

closed counties, must be released unharmed. Otters that cannot be

released must be turned over to the Division of Wildlife.

Beaver trappers in particular are advised to watch for otter sign and

modify set placements where necessary. The Ohio State Trappers

Association and the Division of Wildlife have published a guide on how

to recognize otter sign and use various otter avoidance techniques while

trapping for beaver in areas closed to otter trapping. A copy of the

publication and reports about observing otters in Ohio can be ordered by

calling 1-800-WILDLIFE.

Ohio is among the nation’s leading producers of raw furs. Currently,

there are 70 licensed fur dealers and more than 11,000 licensed fur

takers in the state.

Additional hunting information is contained in the 2011-2012 Ohio

Hunting Regulations brochure, available where Ohio hunting licenses

are sold, on the Internet at wildohio.com or by calling toll-free 1-800-

WILDLIFE.

The ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our

natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at

Hunters, Shooters Give & Receive Gifts Related to their Sport During the

Holidays

Southwick Associates

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fl --(Ammoland.com)- While choosing the

right gift for some friends and family may be a perplexing decision

during the holidays, apparently that choice is much easier to make if that

person hunts or shoots.

Asked if they gave or received hunting or shooting items as a holiday gift

this past year, 59.8 percent of those sportsmen and women questioned

by HunterSurvey.com or ShooterSurvey.com said they had.

Of the respondents who said they had given or received a gift related to

their sport, hunting-related items seemed to be the ones most often

unwrapped with 65.7 percent of the gifts falling in that category.

Shooting items accounted for 29.5 percent of the gifts given to sporting

men and women.

“These findings certainly won’t come as a surprise to anyone

who has stood in line at a cash register or tried to find a

parking spot at an outdoor retailer during December, but it

does underscore the value to hunting and shooting retailers

and manufacturers in structuring special promotions that will

appeal to the sporting consumer during the holidays,” said

Rob Southwick, president of Southwick Associates, which

designs and conducts the surveys at HunterSurvey.com and

AnglerSurvey.com.

Those who hunt, fish and target shoot are invited to participate in the

surveys conducted on HunterSurvey.com and AnglerSurvey.com.

Each month, participants who complete the survey are entered into a

drawing for one of five $100 gift certificates to the sporting goods retailer

of their choice.

Gunlaws.com

PHOENIX, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- The lamestream media told you:

Look — over here – look, it’s economic policy, and jobs, and not enough

jobs, and economic policy, and the debt, and the deficit, and government

waste, and jobs and economics, and, and, and…

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Not a single presidential candidate in any debate so far has mentioned

guns. The Second Amendment — the number one issue for huge

numbers of Americans, has been hidden from view, avoided, virtually

censored, never raised.

Have you noticed, or has the clamor about economy blinded

you so effectively?

None of the reporters ask where the candidates stand on gun rights. No

one asks about Fast and Furious, or brings it up. What a great forum for

confronting the Obama Administration on flat out malfeasance, and

stonewalling, and felony gun smuggling for political ends. Won’t

somebody raise the issue, just once, and get the nation talking.

By narrowing down the examination of the presidential contenders to a

small handful of related issues, the public is being shortchanged,

transparency is absent, and, and, and, we haven’t gotten a frickin clue

where these people stand on the right to keep and bear arms.

Here’s betting that if and when the subject finally comes up, the

wannabees mouth pablum, and the interviewers let them all slide

without cutting deep. That’s an easy prediction – the lamestream

perpetrators (accent on the last two syllables) don’t know enough about

guns or gun policy to ask incisive questions.

OK, I’ll suggest one, “So, if you stand in such vigorous

support of the Second Amendment, do you support

marksmanship training in schools?”

BATFE Gun-SmugglingBrochure ResurfacesNOV 01, 2011 11:56A.M.

BATFE Gun-Smuggling Brochure Resurfaces

Gunlaws.com

PHOENIX, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- The lamestream media told

you: Nothing (NBC). Very little (ABC). Nothing lately (CBS).

FOX News presented a one-hour special that all but called the BATFE

Fast and Furious gun-smuggling scheme the Watergate for Mr. Obama.

Special segment host Sean Hannity directly associated Nixon’s illegal

activities with this drug-cartel gun-smuggling operation.

Comments that, “We will never run any stories like that

because it could hurt our beloved president,” from the three

networks, could not be confirmed.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: A full-color

brochure produced by BATFE in March of 2009 at the start of the federal

gun-smuggling operation has resurfaced, and seems to implicate BATFE

in illegal operations. The brochure clearly outlines known criminal

activity, which congressional testimony and other evidence has

confirmed BATFE knew about and in fact ran for an extended period of

time.

According to the information published by BATFE itself: “Firearm

trafficking is the movement of firearms from the legal to the illegal

marketplace. It is one of the most pressing problems in the firearms

industry today… Firearms originating in the United states have been

used to murder U.S. citizens and foreign officials… In response to the

violence on the U.S.-Mexican border, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

Firearms and Explosive (BATFE) is committed to denying the tools of

the trade to drug trafficking organizations…”

The brochure explicitly acknowledges that what BATFE was doing was

strictly illegal, against established policy, and that BATFE was engaging

in these specifically known and outlawed acts. BATFE facilitated “the

movement of firearms from the legal to the illegal marketplace.”

BATFE knowingly did this, aware that, “Firearms originating in the

United states have been used to murder U.S. citizens and foreign

officials.” BATFE countermanded their stated policy by supplying,

instead of denying, “the tools of the trade to drug trafficking

organizations.”

In congressional testimony, BATFE agents denied knowing what they

were doing, or taking responsibility for their actions, and in fact

promoted some of their staff who were directly involved in supplying

guns to the cartels, which they knew would be used to commit murders.

Both houses of Congress are investigating the murderous behaviors, and

both Rep. Isaa and Sen. Grassley have now demanded information from

the FBI, who appears complicit in the operation. Several of the straw

purchasers BATFE used could not possibly pass a NICS background

check, run by the FBI and required for every purchase made.

In other news, 10 of 15 Arizona Sheriffs have declared their intent to

investigate BATFE criminal activity in the federal government gun-

smuggling operation:

“A majority of Arizona’s county sheriffs on Friday (10/8/11)

called upon President Barack Obama to appoint an

independent counsel to investigate the government’s botched

gun-smuggling case known as Operation Fast and Furious.

“At a Phoenix news conference, Pinal County Sheriff Paul

Babeu said the sting operation, which allowed an estimated

2,000+ firearms to reach narcotics cartels in Mexico, was a

betrayal that should lead to the removal of Attorney General

Eric Holder and possible criminal charges against those

responsible.

” ‘I believe that this is a much larger scandal than what took

place in Watergate,’ said Babeu, who is president of the

Arizona Sheriff’s Association.” This according to The Arizona

Republic.

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar said, “When you facilitate that and a murder or

a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory.”. “That means that there’s

criminal activity.”

In a letter to Congress AG Holder “said he felt compelled to comment

because of ‘irresponsible and inflammatory’ statements about the case

by a House member who said those involved with Fast and Furious

should be regarded as ‘accessories to murder,’” according to The

Arizona Republic state newspaper. The brochure issued by BATFE

confirms that the agency was aware its actions were strictly illegal, but

does not directly implicate Holder or Obama. Holder’s testimony to

Congress was replete with contradictions and statements that did not

stand up to scrutiny, hence the ongoing investigation.

In other news, it was learned last week that a county attorney within

Arizona may be planning a separate action with regard to the illegal

smuggling operation, but details will not be released until the plans are

settled. After prodding, it was not clear if the state taxing authority

would look into tax violations for one of the straw buyers, who spent six-

figure money on guns he could not legally buy, with no visible means of

support, and hence no paid taxes.

Evidence is almost insurmountable that Eric Holder and Mr. Obama

knew in advance about Fast and Furious, let the program run, and used

the bogus stats to bolster a case against private gun ownership and for

government registration of firearms.

They had been promoting the supposed iron-river into

Mexico both here and abroad, until it became evident that the

numbers they used were false.

In still other news, a document is apparently circulating in the halls of

government seeking to eliminate the BATFE. Rumors of such a plan have

been circulating for years, and internal scutllebut suggests BATFE is a

laughing stock among the rough riders of federal law enforcement.

“Multiple sources, including sources from ATF, DOJ and Congressional

offices have said there is a white paper circulating within the Department

of Justice, outlining the essential elimination of ATF. According to

sources, the paper outlines the firing of at least 450 ATF agents in an

effort to conduct damage control as Operation Fast and Furious gets

uglier and as election day 2012 gets closer. ATF agents wouldn’t be

reassigned to other positions, just simply let go. Current duties of ATF,

including the enforcement of explosives and gun laws, would be

transferred to other agencies, possibly the FBI and the DEA. According

to a congressional source, there have been rumblings about the

elimination of ATF for quite sometime, but the move would require

major political capital to actually happen.

” ‘It’s a serious white paper being circulated, how far they’d

get with it I don’t know,’ a confidential source said.

http://tiny.cc/lrwd7

“After a town hall meeting about Operation Fast and Furious

in Tucson, Ariz., ATF Whistleblower Vince Cefalu, who has

been key in exposing details about Operation Fast and

Furious, confirmed the elimination of ATF has been

circulating as a serious idea for sometime now and that a

white paper outlining the plan does exist.”

“ATF” is an abbreviation of BATFE, which the bureau prefers,

since five-letter acronyms are seen as less manly. Since the

group now claims jurisdiction over really awesome wild fires,

it’s acronym perhaps should be BATFERAWF. If you add

“And Gun Smuggling” you get BATFERAWFAGS.

According to Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, jpfo.org,

which bills itself as America’s Most Aggressive Defender of Gun

Ownership, having a Keystone Kops organization life BATFE in charge of

firearms is far superior to having a massively powerful and invasive

group like the FBI take charge of the civil right to arms.

“Leave BATFE in place, but replace their badges and guns

with business cards and notepads, so it’s clear they’re just

bureaucrats,” one member was heard to say.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wins ‘Champion in Leadership’

Award for Hiring of People with Disabilities

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service has received a prestigious award from Virginia’s Department of

Rehabilitative Service for its leadership in increasing employment and

accessibility for people with disabilities, highlighting successful efforts by

the Service to make the agency a model workplace.

The Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services presented its 2011

Champion in Leadership Award to the Service for acting on its own

principles in maintaining a disability-friendly workplace, and for

providing thousands of accommodations annually to disabled employees

throughout the United States.

“Receiving this award is an affirmation of the Service’s solid

commitment to foster diversity and inclusion in the

workplace,” said Director Dan Ashe. “We are honored to

receive this distinction and will continue to work with our

state partners to increase employment of people with

disabilities, including veterans.”

Hiring and retention efforts in the Service have led to a 75 percent direct

placement rate of individuals with disabilities across the agency. The

Service has also increased the number of individuals with disabilities

brought in for unpaid work experiences, which have led to hiring of

candidates into open positions here and elsewhere.

The Service’s hiring practices for individuals with disabilities were also

recognized by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Collaborative’s (MARC)

A Few Words on Constitutional Carry

When WGO was founded less than a decade ago, we were the sole voice

fighting for Constitutional Carry (referred to then as “Vermont-style

carry”) in Wisconsin.

And while some groups jumped on the Constitutional Carry bandwagon

earlier this year when everyone assumed the newly-controlled legislature

could easily pass it, many of these individuals or groups have become

suspiciously quiet on the issue lately, and seem happy to accept today’s

new permit law as a permanent inevitability.

But we have other plans.

It is one thing to give lip service to something when victory seems within

easy reach.

It’s a completely different matter to fight when the going gets tough.

With that sentiment, we’ll let the other groups claim victory. For our

part, we’d simply like to welcome you - and invite them - to Phase II of

the fight to restore our inalienable right to bear arms.

Stand by for details on Constitutional Carry soon … and

thanks for your support of gun rights in Wisconsin.

About:

WGO works for grassroots gun owners, not politicians. While many gun

lobbies fight for “reasonable gun control,” WGO sets a higher standard:

Defining the terrain of pro-gun political battle. Sure, many groups claim

they’re “pro-gun” – all the while they provide cover for anti-gun deals cut

by politicians – but only WGO truly informs gun owners, remaining

committed to a 100% pro-gun position. We oppose all gun control –

regardless of the political party – and work tirelessly to restore the

Second Amendment. Visit www.wisconsingunowners.org

BELLEVUE, WA --(Ammoland.com)- The Washington State Court of

Appeals for Division 1 today unanimously upheld a 2010 King County

Superior Court ruling against the City of Seattle’s ban on firearms in city

parks in a lawsuit originally brought by the Second Amendment

Foundation, other gun rights groups and five individual plaintiffs.

SAF Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said he had always been

confident that the Appeals Court would rule “in favor of the law and

against the attempt by Seattle to dance around it.”

“We told former Mayor Greg Nickels he was wrong,” Gottlieb

said, “and we have reminded the city under Mayor Mike

McGinn that it was wrong, and now the Appeals Court has

confirmed our position.”

SAF was joined in the lawsuit by the Citizens Committee for the Right to

Keep and Bear Arms, the National Rifle Association and Washington

Arms Collectors.

Writing for the Court, Presiding Chief Judge Ann Schindler noted, “We

hold that under the plain language of RCW 9.41.290 and RCW

9.41.300, the city’s attempt to regulate the possession of firearms at

designated park areas and park facilities open to the public by adopting

the Firearms Rule is preempted by state law.”

“This is not only a victory for the citizens of Washington

State,” he said, “but also for the State Legislature, which had

the wisdom in 1983 and 1985 to pass and strengthen our

preemption statute. This law has become the model for other

state statutes across the country.

“The ruling is also an affirmation of Judge Catherine Shaffer’s

original trial court ruling last year,” he continued. “She had

the foresight to include observations about our state

constitutional right to bear arms but also the Second

Amendment.

“Now that the Second Amendment has been incorporated to

the states through our victory in McDonald v. City of

Chicago,” Gottlieb concluded, “it is going to be impossible

for anti-gun politicians in the Evergreen State to defy our

preemption statute and our constitutional rights. Such local

rules and ordinances are illegal, and now they know it for

sure.”

The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest

and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action

group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own

and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to

more than 650,000 members and supporters and conducts many

programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of

gun control. In addition to the landmark McDonald v. Chicago Supreme

Court Case, SAF has previously funded successful firearms-related suits

against the cities of Los Angeles; New Haven, CT; New Orleans; Chicago

and San Francisco on behalf of American gun owners, a lawsuit against

the cities suing gun makers and numerous amicus briefs holding the

Second Amendment as an individual right.

aimed at supporting both current SOT holders and retailers seeking to

enter the Class III market. The offering includes a companion piece to

FFLGuard’s “Law Plus Guidelines,” as formulated by FFLGuard in

consultation with ATF, in an effort to keep Class III retailers compliant

and away from the “willfulness” threshold that triggers potential license

revocation. Also included with the NFA-LSP is access to David Goldman,

Esq., and his NFA Trust practice, which includes: five (5) redeemable

vouchers for NFA trusts to be formed at a 50% discount; and ten (10)

$100 redemption certificates. These vouchers and certificates are

available for retailers and their Class III customers for NFA trust

formation. Retailer support is further delivered through one (1) hour of

FFLGuard HelpDesk time regarding and NFA related legal issue and a

one (1) hour teleconference with FFLGuard’s Director of Field

Operations, Scott Braum, on the implementation of the Law Plus

Guidelines for NFA. Other components of the comprehensive plan

include a redemption voucher for the day-long seminar on NFA matters

presented yearly by attorney Mark Barnes at a special rate, a sample ATF

Form 5630.7 and instruction sheet, and numerous informational

brochures including an overview of Class III products with emphasis on

the suppressor market.

“The NFA-LSP is truly a complete offering that will benefit

any retailer currently in the Class III market, or those

wanting to enter this rapidly expanding market segment”

stated Christopher Chiafullo, attorney and founder of the

FFLGuard program, who serves as its National Coordinating

Counsel and Director of Special Operations. “The more

comfortable we can make retailers about being within the

confines of the law, the more likely they will be to sell Class

III firearms… which makes everyone happy from

manufacturers, to distributors, to retailers, to ATF, to the

firearms industry as a whole.”

The standard fee for a one-year subscription to the NFA-LSP is $995 for

all FFLGuard clients on their full-service plan. Through an exclusive

partnership with FFLGuard, AcuSport retailers can purchase the NFA-

LSP for $495 the first year and each year thereafter, whether or not they

are current clients on FFLGuard’s full-service plan. AcuSport’s decision

to offer this expanded solution as part of their CustomerLink offering

“[w]as a natural fit,” states AcuSport Director of Business Integration,

Kenan Ikels.

“Our retailers have experienced superior service from the

FFLGuard program over the last three years, and we are so

confident in the value of this program that AcuSport has

agreed to subsidize the cost by offering a substantial discount

only available through AcuSport’s CustomerLink program,”

noted Mr. Ikels.

He finished by stating that “[t]he partnership with FFLGuard

to offer the NFA-LSP combined with an expanding offering of

Class III products allows AcuSport’s retailers to take

advantage of this growing segment of our industry ultimately

increasing customer satisfaction levels for the end

consumer… We are encouraging our manufacturing partners

to join in on this opportunity as well, because we see it as

such a tremendous value.”

Sale Of Live Foxes Permitted InWest VirginiaNOV 01, 2011 09:31A.M.

Sale Of Live Foxes Permitted In West Virginia

West Virginia DNR

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. – -(Ammoland.com)- West Virginia

trappers will be allowed to sell live foxes to hound-coursing pens in West

Virginia during the 2011-2012 trapping season, according to Curtis I.

Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia

Division of Natural Resources.

All foxes used in hound-coursing pens must be live-trapped in the county

in which the pen is located.

“This action will help to avoid any additional westward

spread of rabies and reduce the possibility of moving diseased

animals across the state,” said Taylor.

“In addition, because raccoons are the primary carriers of the

raccoon strain of rabies, the sale of live raccoons remains

suspended for the 2011-2012 trapping season.”

Hound-coursing pens are licensed in West Virginia and regulated by best

management standards which are designed to promote humane

treatment of the wild animals being pursued.

Trappers are urged to use extreme care when handling live animals due

to the dangers of exposure to rabies and other diseases. Live animals

may only be held by trappers during the trapping season and 60 days

thereafter.

Live foxes shall be held according to temporary or permanent housing

requirements as specified by law.

Please contact your local DNR wildlife biologist for more information

about the sale of live foxes. DNR offices are located in Farmington (304-

825-6787), Romney (304-822-3551), French Creek (304-924-6211),

Beckley (304-256-6947), Point Pleasant (304-675-0871) and

New Jersey Outdoor AllianceResponds to Your EmailsNOV 01, 2011 09:23A.M.

New Jersey Outdoor Alliance Responds to Your Emails

New Jersey Outdoor Alliance

TRENTON, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- I received an overwhelming

response to the “2011 NJ General Election and Your Legislators” action

alert sent recently. I’d like to take a moment to respond to the many

comments I’ve received.

Thanks to all of you that expressed appreciation for the format and the

goal of educating and encouraging our legislators to become stewards of

our environment by using the principle of conserving natural resources.

This approach also makes clear the important role of anglers and hunters

as custodians of the environment.

It also highlights the significance the NJOA axiom

“Preservation through conservation.”

Almost every single email I received not only commented on the wisdom

of using the above format but also expressed confusion about NJOA

endorsements for 2011. I’m happy to explain.

Firstly, the NJOA has endorsed only one legislator for the 2011 General

Election; Senator Donald Norcross. The process the NJOA uses for

endorsing a candidate(s) is as follows:

1. Endorsement must be requested.

2. A review is made of the legislator’s voting record on bills regarding

outdoors issues.

3. A review is also undertaken to determine whether the legislator

demonstrates an understanding, appreciation, and pursuit of

conservation of natural resources.

The 2011 NJ General Election and Your Legislators email sent yesterday

(see link the follows:

http://www.njoutdooralliance.org/njelections/legislators.html ) was not

an endorsement. It highlighted those legislators that responded to the

NJOA Questionnaire and are members of the New Jersey Angler and

Hunter Conservation Caucus (NJAHCC). It gives you the opportunity to

get more legislators involved in the issues important to you.

Generally speaking, the legislators responding positively to the

Questionnaire, and/or participate in the NJACC, understand outdoors

issues. They may not agree with the particulars of each of our positions,

but they certainly understand the importance of the scope.

From the emails I’ve received, it would be short-sighted for any legislator

to believe that anglers and hunters are not “on the ball” when it comes to

their voting records. Every email singled out a legislator(s) action that

did not square with his words. The emails also displayed an

understanding for a legislator’s opposition on fringe issues, but were

unforgiving on core issues such as the removal of fixed gear from the

artificial reefs.

Again, the NJOA’s “2011 General Election and Your Legislators” is to be

used as a guide. It displays the legislators that responded positively to

the NJOA Questionnaire and/or are members of the NJAHCC. As

grassroots activists, the guide gives you the opportunity to contact the

legislators who haven’t responded and/or are not NJAHCC members and

ask them to become involved in issues important to you.

It also gives you the opportunity to contact a legislator(s) and request

that his or her actions match his words. We are fortunate to have a form

of government that allows us to express ourselves and work to effect

change, let’s exercise it to its fullest extent.

Wisconsin Castle Doctrine –What Are They Hiding?NOV 01, 2011 08:59A.M.

Wisconsin Castle Doctrine – What Are They Hiding?

“‘Castle Doctrine’ establishes the presumption that an

individual who forcibly enters ones home, business or

occupied motor vehicle [emphasis added] is there to cause

death or great bodily harm, and allows force, including

deadly force, against that person.” – NRA-ILA e-mail alert

10/28/11

Wisconsin Gun Owners

Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- When you read the quote above, you’re

no doubt thinking, “That sounds like a good thing.”

But upon closer examination you will notice that the “privilege” of self-

defense that AB69 and SB79 purport to advance only apply to your

home, business or inside your vehicle.

Inside your vehicle…?

Think about that for a moment.

Why is State Rep. Dean Kaufert refusing to amend castle doctrine

legislation to include all areas where free people may go? Why is he

restricting self-defense to the interior of your vehicle?

Bad guy approaching your car. Bad guy drawing weapon. Bad guy

pointing weapon at your children.

At this point, you still don’t have the “privilege” of self-defense

(according to this legislation), so hang tight and let him get closer …

much closer.

Bad guy grabbing your car door. Bad guy … climbing

inside. Is he inside the car? Is he close enough to touch your

wife and grab your kids?

OK, NOW you may defend yourself.

Let me tell you something: If an attacker is inside your car, it’s too late.

The most outrageous thing about these bills is how Rep. Dean Kaufert

(R-55th) and the establishment republicans are refusing to expand the

legislation to “any place a person may legally be.”

This should be a very simple thing for a pro-gun legislator to do. So

what’s the problem?

They’ve already refused to listen to gun owners who wanted the

legislation to recognize the “right” of self-defense, and have instead

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 20 (20 of 21), generated 2011-11-02 02:47:49.697557 on g1t0307, dpi=225

opted to insult us by codifying this most basic of inalienable rights as a

“privilege” – a clear step backwards.

Now, without this much-needed amendment, the legislation will be

lacking in necessary areas of protection.

Is the institutional gun lobby silently ushering this bill along

to give cover to state politicians?

Why won’t Rep. Dean Kaufert and the republican caucus act like they’re

in power and make this bill a real slam-dunk pro-gun piece of

legislation?

Why are they surrendering this fight when they control the legislature?

(Did gun owners waste their votes on them?)

A vote is scheduled for today, Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 11 am. Therefore, you

need to act quickly.

ACTION:

1. It is urgent that you call and e-mail Rep. Dean Kaufert 608-266-

5719(Rep.Kaufert@legis.wisconsin.gov) and your representative

(Click Here to find your state representative) urging them to

amend AB69 and SB79 to include “any place a person may legally

be.”

2. Contribute something to this lobbying campaign so we can

effectively amend what should be good pro-gun legislation but is

instead being hi-jacked by incompetence.

In Liberty, Corey Graff

Executive Director

P.S. If you believe you have a right to self-defense any place you happen

to be, then State Rep. Dean Kaufert (R-55) is working against you by

refusing to amend castle doctrine legislation to include “any place you

may legally be.” Rep. Kaufert and the republican caucus seem to think

you need to let a mass murderer inside your vehicle before you may

legally use deadly force in self-defense.

A vote is scheduled for Tuesday morning, 11/1, so call Rep. Kaufert

immediately at 608-266-5719 and e-mail:

Rep.Kaufert@legis.wisconsin.gov

Tell Rep. Kaufert you want AB69 amended and the vote delayed.

About:

WGO works for grassroots gun owners, not politicians. While many gun

lobbies fight for “reasonable gun control,” WGO sets a higher standard:

Defining the terrain of pro-gun political battle. Sure, many groups claim

they’re “pro-gun” – all the while they provide cover for anti-gun deals cut

by politicians – but only WGO truly informs gun owners, remaining

committed to a 100% pro-gun position. We oppose all gun control –

regardless of the political party – and work tirelessly to restore the

Second Amendment. Visit www.wisconsingunowners.org
