I'm a proud Life Member of the National Rifle Association.
No organization does more to defend our Second Amendment rights
against the unrelenting attacks by anti-gun elements in government and the media.
I urge you to join me in supporting the NRA.

The NRA has superb programs for educating and training
the youth of America in the proper care and use of firearms.
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the NRA
through one of those, the .22 rifle Marksman Qualification Program.

| Here I am (left) at age 14,
demonstrating one of the two NRA-approved sitting positions during
riflery practice at Camp Mitigwa in Rangeley, Maine. It looks like I've
drawn a pretty good bead on the camera lens -- and in the process,
violated one of the cardinal rules of the range: never point your
gun at something (or someone) you don't plan to shoot. |
First, as a youngster at summer camp, and later as a counselor,
I worked my way up the ladder from Pro-Marksman
to the NRA's highest level of qualification, Distinguished Expert.
 |
After many years away from active firearm use,
I have returned to the passion of my youth.
Whether it's trapshooting with my beloved Beretta AL391 12-gauge
or range practice with my .22-caliber Colt Woodsman and Smith & Wesson .38's,
I get a lot of pleasure -- and a sense of security -- from my modest arsenal.
