Mr. Pirie, your thoughtful and well-written comments are well taken. I agree that this thread has been one of the most gentlemanly on the subject, but that is to be expected from this group.
I think the bottom line is that ALL of us who hunt, shoot competitively, collect fine guns or just plink must make a greater effort to present a positive image to the non-shooting public, as well as promoting positive education about our sport(s). We must police ourselves, as was written earlier in this thread.
Support of each other, regardless of our varied shooting disciplines, is imperative if we want to maintain our 2nd Amendment rights.
Kind regards,
Ed
PS It's certainly sad that Bill Wise has passed. I would have welcomed his comments on this thread.
