Has your gun club contacted you about upcoming bans?

Postby BigBlue on Sat Feb 02, 2013 11:39 pm

If you are a member of a gun club or range and you have not seen communication from the club to membership warning you of the issue please contact the board and urge them to send communication immediately. They should be warning membership and engaging them to contact their legislators urgently. Point out that the proposed legislation would materially affect all members and would actually eliminate some whole categories of shooting sports.

Does anyone have a contact at the Wells Rifle & Pistol Club that GOCRA could reach out to?

My club hasn't contacted me about it, so I wrote one of the board a letter and they sent it out to everyone. Rather disconcerting they didn't act on it first.

If you haven't heard from an organization, how about forwarding as many people in charge of EACH organization you belong to who you haven't heard from the GOCRA call to action with your comments .. or a simple: We NEED to get this information to our members!
