Howdy gang.

It's been so long since I've been on FR that I had to create another account.

It was very difficult to hold my tongue at this symposium. But, sometimes we need to change tactics to get a different view.

Here is the link to the Arizona Jr. High Power Rifle Team, (placed second at Camp Perry in 2004). Notice the number of girls on the team holding their RockRiverArms National Match AR-15s. Some of these members are from the Wickenburg HS team which I mentioned above.

Uh... I can't find the AR-15 pose. They've updated the web page.

Also, here is a link to the Chicago Tribune article.

The woman who was quoted describing gun-toting as a "fashion statement" was interviewed for 45 minutes by the Trib reporter. She mentioned numerous salient facts about self defense, training, RKBA, and gun laws. After her interview she turned to a fellow gunnie and asked him how she did. He said that she did fine, but that he added that he knew which quote he was going to use and that he would get even that simple quote wrong. The seasoned gunnie activist was correct. "Fashion statement." The reporter later defended his use of that quote as being "representative of the 45 minute interview (and he claimed it wasn't really 45 minutes).
