Gov. David Paterson reversed his decision to close the Reynolds Game Farm due to the collective outcry from hunters and pro-gun supporters as well as pressure from pending lawsuits. A difference can be made if you get involved. Please take a few minutes and contact your representatives if you haven't already and voice your opposition to the proposed bills. We all have a stake in the future. Not only for ourselves but for our children and their children.
