Got a call from the NRA the other day. As someone who recently moved from Texas to PR, I am keenly aware of the gun restrictions here on the island. Clearly the poor NRA phone rep. was not.
I went on the NRA activism section of their website and it's not even possible to input Puerto Rico as a locale.
So we have concealed carry for the blind in Iowa (weird if you ask me), but nothing for PR.
Needless to say, the NRA did not get my money that day and won't until they acknowledge that the 2A should apply to all territories and possessions of the USA.
You know there are THREE TIMES more people in Puerto Rico than in Montana? So what's the deal?
