I sent him money.
But he complained about the unfair trade balance with the Red Chinese and that may have lost him corporate bucks.
But he was RIGHT.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Get him to get the Kitchen Creek road range reopened also.
The government shut down all three unofficial shooting ranges in the county, suddenly, and without discussion, a few years ago.
