With respect...
I don't have a dog in this fight, as I am not a member of GRNC or the NRA.
Mr. Roberson, I live in NC, so maybe my opinion will count for you. The GRNC website is lousy. I mean, 1995 lousy.
Look , the days when an organization that depends on public interest, such as a non-profit group, could not have an effective web presence are over. The very first thing I do when I want to know more about a group is go to their website. Why?
If GRNC is going to depend on convincing the public on their value in spite of their badly-designed (where are the recent alerts?), infrequently-updated (the most recent message is from October 2005?), poorly-documented (what, exactly, did the GRNC have to do with reciprocity in NC?...the website doesn't give any details in their link!), and all-around amateur looking site (here's their contact info on the front page, reproduced exactly: )
Between sending these guys a check and buying some more ammo, which do you think people are going to choose?
Look, maybe these guys are the best thing to happen to NC since NASCAR was invented. But to claim that they are, and that it's up to the undecided people like me to have to research that claim, and ignore the very first source I and people like me will use....well, I've got better things to spend my time and money on than a pig in a poke.
Bottom line: if they can't even manage their own website effectively, why should I believe that they will manage to be politically effective?

- it's fast
- it's easy
- it's free
- it's convenient

Probably a mistake on my part, but since I live in NC...
I've watched the NRA and GRNC for several years now. GRNC has done more with less for NC resident's 2nd Amendment Rights than the NRA, and by a large margin. Guess which one gets my hard earned?
The web site, on the other hand...
Lord, I could do that good.

Almost 11PM. Time for the children's hour to close and all get tucked in, for beddie-bye.
