Clarification of I-594 request

[RW-Ore]

Monica on second thought I hope you do not run for office I would not want you to rub elbows with idiots.
What a fight that would be , just be yourself and do your best at what you do.

My letter to our local prosecutor--I have no idea whether he is pro or anti-gun, which will probably affect his interpretation, but I would rather face the facts head on and/or make a good faith effort to comply--since I teach about the law in my classes.

I'm a little squeamish about getting on their radar, but I gots to know how my fair little business will be affected by this law...

I don't want to just sit around licking my wounds...

Great letter. Should have ended with lukewarm regards, to be honest ;-) Do post the reply!

thinking about it, send it to our Ferguson too ...

a great letter. you cornered him really well, just about any response is going to potentially make him look anti-safety, anti-small-business, or anti-women.

which is why, I am afraid, there won't be a reply... or it will be in a year and start with "What difference - at this point - what difference does it make".

monica, you are a true class act and asset for gun owners everywhere.

Unfortunately, our AG is fully intent on "codifying" ...

I Seen The Above Listed With A Pink Glock As Of 3/18/15

When Will That Take Place?

When Will That Take Place?

maybe they are awaiting the court decision on the SAF complaint

 

[009]

Perhaps When The Issues Get Worked Out? Until Then? Pay The "KING" ?

Class photo from today! Great group of very fun ladies...very happy to have a full class this time!

During one conversation they found out what they were missing due to Initiative 594--not being able to examine the guns on display or practice loading and clearing them with dummy rounds...not sure I have ever seen all my students' eyes grow big at once in horror at the effect of the stupid law on my class...and, again, several had voted for it not understanding all that it entailed...*sigh*

I always say I'd rather learn from others' mistakes than my own. Even though I'm wiser for having observed, it's still painful.

I had a journalist attend my last class; I really appreciated how she addressed the effect I-594 had on my class, and even C&Ped the note from my website!

Well just hope they learn to vote smarter next time.

So how far were they shooting and was it off hand? Two handed grip or one hand? Now for the big question, any of them know how to shoot before they came to you or did you teach them to shoot that well?

Alas, there will be no "next time." There may be another issue on which they are asked to vote, and in that case.....
Instead, we have the federal lawsuit, in which Monica is the lead plaintiff on the court docs.

 

[CarlMc]

Alas, there will be no "next time."

Because of this, all you can really do is foster the new/next generation of gun supporters and enthusiasts, as well as a more questioning electorate.

Talk to folks about the fallout of I594, and specifically in terms that relate to them. Take folks who have never shot a gun out to the range. I can't say I did it enough before, but I'm trying to do it more often now. Yeah, I foot the bill for the costs, but I can't tell you how cool it is when I see that grin.

Nice article. Regarding the paragraph on 594: it should probably say that "you and your students have to be at a government recognized range" OR "they would have to be under the age of 18". These are 2 separate distinct clauses in 594, i.e. Sec 3 (4) (f) (ii) which pertains to the range exemption, and Sec 3(4)(f)(iv) which pertains to the age exemption.

I am not saying it makes it any easier on you, your students or your business ... just the way I read it.

HA! We shoot at realistic self defense distances; ie., 7 feet and 14 feet. This is mostly to give grip/stance/sight alignment/trigger press experience and a strong dose of confidence to the new shooters. Believe it or not, I have had one gal who was not able to hit the target that close--had to do serious hands on instruction for her, poor gal...she was pretty embarrassed, but she stuck it through and eventually got the hang of it...

Another article on my class, this time from a local perspective...unfortunately, she made no mention of the effect of I594 in this article... Bummer.
