As many of you know, The Second Amendment Foundation is holding their annual convention in Houston. Speakers today included Wayne Lapierre, John Lott, Neal Knox, and Alan Gottlieb. Powerful, informative speakers, all.
Got to meet Lennyjoe and Jim March, finally; both true gentlemen.
The main things I took away from today's speakers:
1.) Silveira v. Lockyer has the potential to be VERY bad for us, obviously. David Kopel (Cato Institute) pounded this point home with a Justice by Justice appraisal of the Supreme Court.
2.) Each speaker, from Charles Cunningham (Director, Federal Affairs NRA-ILA) to Tom Gresham were adamant that Bush Jr. is our man in '04. Lt. General James Chambers, USAF (Ret.) was particularly eloquent in his description of the joys of gun rights promotion under this administration.
Good speech, Guntalk.
I'm sure the others will have more to add.
Here's a pic of (L to R) Jeeper, Lennyjoe, Jim March, and myself. Jim's showing us what a California CCW looks like (big knife for a very big guy).
