I am the membership director
At my local range. Last night’s meeting was a doozy.
See the club has grown from a hundred and change to several hundred members, and keeping up has become more difficult. Used to be it was just a place for a few guys to come and shoot, and now it’s become ungainly and more management is needed. The last five executive board elections consisted of ‘Show of hands. Retain these guys?”
Now since more work needs to be done more involvement is required, and that needs to change.
The debate was- to say the least- very, very heated. Pounding of fists. yelling. Some screaming even (OK, that might have just been because I took my shirt off)A lot of flaring tempers, and a lot of hot heads.
And every single member was armed, some very heavily armed.
Oddly enough, nobody got shot. Imagine!
“An armed society is a polite society.”
Even when there’s argument.

Strangely, I see it all the time. At my range, same thing. Yelling, shouting, heated tempers, etc. No one ever gets shot. (and usually I am the lightest armed fellow there, and as you know, I carry considerable firepower (as far as weapons)). I’ve even seen fistfights from armed members who chose NOT to use firearms because the situation did not warrant it.
Strange that.
Same at gunshows. fully one third the attendees and nearly all of the vendors are armed, yet you seldom, if ever, hear about the mass murders at gunshows.
You are safer in an armed crowd of CCL holders than at a school board meeting.

Especially the Chicago school board, right now!
Probably thinner than most of the members of the Chicago School Board (or at least the teachers) too.
Yeah, they found some real porkers to show in the TV.
Anyone else notice all the free campaign stuff the MSM is throwing the ones way? I thought there was a law about that. Silly me.
Yes, being in the company of CCL’s is a great way to pass the time.
Know the feeling. I’m on the board of a gun club of 800+ members.
We do keep it civil though.
