NRA Instructors Camp. ( I am 2nd from end on the Right, kneeling, with the light hat.)

April 26, 27 & 28, I attended an NRA Instructor Camp at the BSA Ten Mile River Scout Camp.  It was cold and wet but we had a great time and we graduated 28 new NRA Instructors to work with the Boy Scouts.  We had a Shotgun Instructor camp that I attended and a Rifle Instructor  camp.  It was a “cut no corners” instructors class with Harry Clark as the Head TC.  (Harry did a lot of hard work and had everything totally together for the camp.  My hat’s off to him along with the other instructors, Tom, Russ, Glen and Tony.)  It was a guys only, no frills camp and we stayed in the barracks and bunk beds that the Boy Scouts stay in.  (Things did improve on Sat. when I turned on the hot water heater in our cabin. The Sat. AM cold shower was not fun.)  We started Friday evening and 7:15 AM on Sat. and Sunday.  We stayed past midnight on Friday and Sat. and finished on Sunday after 4 PM.  I brought my computer and projector so I gave the BIT class.  I have to say that it was a great group and everyone was nice and willing to work hard and to get along.  I was really impressed.   The other instructors did an excellent job and I had a great time and hope to work with the group again.  I also picked up my Shotgun Instructor Rating so I can now give Shotgun Instructor Classes.  I hope to start giving instructor classes by the end of the summer.

The Sheriff’s Department is booking appointments to be fingerprinted about 3 months behind.

The change in the gun law as part of the budget had changed the 7 round mag rule to allow you to have a 10 round mag.  They also added  that your local gov. can add additional storage requirements.

PROTEST PLANNED IN GOSHEN
DATE : Saturday, April 13, 2013
WHERE: Church Park in Goshen, Center of Town (next to track)
TIME: 12noon-4pm
Bring a picnic lunch and meet fellow 2A supporters!

I have to add that the NRA Staff was great, both in their presentation and in the way the people at NRA HQ dealt with me.  I don’t see how they do it and deal with as many people and problems that people call them about other than the NRA has a great staff who work well together and have a good system. (And are generally hard working and good-natured as nice a group of people that you would ever want to meet or work with.)

“In 2003, after the murder of her brother, Ms. Barrett became the Executive Director of CeaseFire Maryland, where she led lobbying, communication and community outreach efforts for the Maryland state-wide gun violence prevention group.”

Like most anti-gun groups, they have almost no paying members and depend on grants from anti-gun organizations and individuals like Soros and Bloomburg along with member grants from the NY legislature to provide money to pay the rent and salaries. A few years from now when we can look at the tax records, we might be able to find out who is footing the bill. (It is not like pro 2nd Amendment groups who get some of their funding from when individual people order items online and “round up” to the next dollar with the money being donated to support our rights.)

NYAGV’s 990 form form from 2010 showed that the last director, Hilly, got $49.920 for 24 hours of work a week. (But less than the $50,000 that Colin Weaver got that year for the same 24 hours of work.) That is a good chunk of the $131, 706 that they paid in total salaries and compensations for that year. The only thing that I could find on Ceasefire Maryland showed that in 2005 they less than $50,000 income, the last year Leah was with them, so this has to be a big step up for Leah. I wondered how the Board of Directors was chosen for NYAGV so I called their phone number, 212-679-2345, and ended up asking the person on the phone how the Board of Directors are chosen. The woman was very short with me and wanted to know who I was and why I was asking the question. She told me that they did not give out that information. (It is public information so I don’t know why she would not tell me.) I forgot to get her name and so I called her back and found out that it was the new XO, Leah herself after I gave her my full name. (I was kinda disappointed that she did not already know my name.) Leah’s full time job is at the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs as Assistant Dean, Office of Student Affairs, where she, “provides academic advising on the core requirements in the MIA and MPA two-year degree programs. She is responsible for International Travel Policies for students travelling (sic) abroad and advises the Columbia University dual-degree students.”  (If you are one of her students you might not want to talk about how much you like hunting.)

Here’s the source of all parking info for the Albany area. 

I called SEIU’s headquarters and talked to someone who said that “they” had a meeting Sunday and decided to “postpone” their demonstration in support of NY’s  un-SAFE laws.  She said that she did not know who was in the meeting but it sounded like SEIU was not really calling the shots.  Organizing for Action., Barack Hussein Obama II renamed election team had a hand in the event. but if you go to the website using the url for the event you now get: “The URL you clicked references an event that does not exist. This event may have existed at one time but been subsequently deleted.”

From looking on the Organizing for Action Facebook page, they are trying to support all gun control laws in the country.

70.15 Sentences of imprisonment for misdemeanors and violation.

  1. Class A misdemeanor. A sentence of imprisonment for a class A

misdemeanor shall be a definite sentence. When such a sentence is

imposed the term shall be fixed by the court, and shall not exceed one

year; provided, however, that a sentence of imprisonment imposed upon a

conviction of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree as

defined in subdivision one of section 265.01 must be for a period of no

less than one year when the conviction was the result of a plea of

guilty entered in satisfaction of an indictment or any count thereof

charging the defendant with the class D violent felony offense of

criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree as defined in

subdivision four of section 265.02, except that the court may impose any

other sentence authorized by law upon a person who has not been

previously convicted in the five years immediately preceding the

commission of the offense for a felony or a class A misdemeanor defined

in this chapter, if the court having regard to the nature and

circumstances of the crime and to the history and character of the

defendant, finds on the record that such sentence would be unduly harsh

and that the alternative sentence would be consistent with public safety

and does not deprecate the seriousness of the crime.

One Million Moms for Gun Control’s New York chapter took to the Million Dollar Staircase last Tuesday to show their strong support of the new SAFE Act.

Members of the group shouted their support for the Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature for passing what they call “common-sense” gun regulations. At the same time, outside the Capitol, protestors admonished the bill for infringing on Second Amendment rights.

If you look at the picture that they posted, you can see that they had less than 100 people, more like 45 people, while the group outside in the cold and the rain had up to a thousand people  Another notable item in the picture is the “MOVEON.ORG” banner.  Where did they come from?  They are pulling out all of the radical liberal groups to try to show some/any support for Dictator Cuomo’s radical anti-gun agenda.  I wonder who paid them to show up?
