Nope, not it at all. It is just that you can't see.
All YOU see, is "NRA is bad," so NFC can't be good. You refuse to even acknowledge that they are headed in the directions you did say you want to see, yet you persist in complaining about what you do not like. Isn't it difficult to remain that grumpy all the time?
Well, you DID acknowledge what NFC was doing....after sticking your foot in your mouth about Lee....... Do you NOW know who and where he is?
As for the portion of your comments that I put in bold, where has varminter presented the view that you claim is his? Has he ever presented some view that "the rest of us can do no right?"
wrightme; We all would like to believe. If you have undisputible facts, or any evidence that might overturn our experiences, please lay it out.
I thought dvc's post was fair and balanced. I also know that they, the NFC has approached us square, and we need to respect that. At the same time DVC, myself and others, seems to be trying to Give them a chance. In spite of the past.
All that being said, there are some things that smell like last weeks socks, when you blame us for trying to hunt down the smell than you are not doing us, the gun community, or yourself any favors:
I belive that Bob, Don, and the NRA deserve the opportunity to "wake up" to open carry, I still do not want to be taken by a scheme. (not alleging, just caution)
I am concerned about the "sudden" acceptance to open carry by these guys, and I think its valid. To date I have heard no testimony, or proof, as to why they are suddenly Courting us, when a couple of years ago we were "extremists" and "showoff's"
They have had years worth of opportunity to go to NLV and pettition who they needed to. You don't need an organization for that. Why have they not brought this issue up in their many "Gun expert" interviews." Going to NLV after ignoring it for years seems like they are motivated by something "all the sudden."
So Bob Irwin owns a gun range, and store. He may still be partners in another, where the XXX star died. I do not know.
Apparently Don Turner is/ or was, the MGR. of the Clark County Shooting Park. He would have gained credibility with me had he disclosed this. (he did say he helped designed it)

So, we have a person, Don. Who works, or did, for Clark County, Is he going to fight them on registration?
We have another, Bob Who answers to Clark County, registration Dept. admitted friend of the Sheriff, is he going in the trenches?
That leaves the boys up North, Who we all like and and admire, "Stillwater" (But have not been a mile in the Clark County Shoes) To recruite, (so it seems) But their voice is limited as varmenter was given a Title, but no position on the Board.

To Bobs defense, I Must add, He ran for office, That is a HUGE commitment, and it might just mean that he is ready to get political. Working a Campaign will give one some insight in the matter.
I have to ask, myself, did these business men all of the sudden notice our rights?
Could this be a "private grab" of the nearly defunct Clark County Shooting park?
wrightme: I am having a tough time understanding, is the animosity directed to a reasoned man asking a reasoned question.
