MONTHLY SKEET MATCH Twelve shooters came out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to shoot some skeet. Once again there was another epic shootoff in B class, with Jeff DeSantis taking Ron Waidlich to the second station before missing. Come out next month and bust some targets with us. A Class Dick Brame 50 Chuck Gambino 48 John Scott 40 B Class Ron Waidlich 46 Jeff Desantis 46 Lewis Carlton 44 C Class Bill Wetherill 36 E Class Frank Langston 40 Eric Leo 36 New Shooter Charlie White 14 FROM THE LEGISLATIVE BENCH From The Legislative Bench... Diversity has reached the pinnacle of the land in reference to the chosen race of our newly elected President Barack Hussein Obama. I mention chosen due to percentage-wise he is more White than Black, however, a precedent in the history of our great nation, none the less. Congratulations are in order for it was a monumental political task... BHO was victorious through multiple groups of the voting public, an amazing consortium indeed. The challenges to the Second Amendment and the firearms community will be great... BHO s Administration coupled with an unfriendly, no, hostile Congress will confront us at every turn. We must be prepared in every way... from the White House to the Court House; there will be a trickle down - trickle up revolving assault. It is imperative to remain, if so before, or to become, if not before, a zealous patriot for the Bill Of Rights. For it is not only the Second Amendment under attack, the First Amendment is being challenged by the so-called Fairness Doctrine... an attempt to silence the conservative voice in the media. Our Fore Fathers are turning in their graves! Conspiracy (shhh!) comes to mind when contemplating the multi-pronged onslaught above the table and below it... it is not only national, but international as well. It touches all branches of government, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. View this for what it is... naivety is not a virtue when your way of life is on the target board. The following contact information is worth repeating; especially for our new members in BGC. This is a critical year not only for the Second Amendment and the balance of the Bill Of Rights, but for National Defense, Homeland Security, Foreign Policy, Illegal Immigration, Health Care, etc. Socialism is here in many forms and the newly-elected Administration promises more! When contacting NC state legislators regarding state politics you may e-mail the entire House of Representatives with nchousemembers@ncleg.net or the entire Senate with ncsenatemembers@ncleg.net or both with internete-mail@ncleg.net. When contacting federal legislators you may use the NRA contact source by visiting www.nraila.org, clicking the "Take Action" icon, and then clicking the "Write Your Representatives" icon. For those wishing to contact the President through USPS mail or telephone you may do so as follows: The White House, District of Columbia, Zip Code 20500; Telephone (202) 456-1414 and Fax (202) 456-2461. Our great nation needs to find its way again... the light through the darkness has been provided by Divine guidance and the actions of patriots since the birth of our nation. Hold tight to the principles which lead the way. Rig up, Ron 4
BUCCANEER RANGE REGULATOR GAZETTE Headline: Mrs Dick Holliday Accepts Position With FBI As An Assassin The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; Two Cowboys and Dick Holidays wife. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the cowboys to a large wooden door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your Instructions no matter what the circumstances, Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair, kill her!!" The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home." The second cowboy was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was the Mrs. Holidays's turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband, She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow, "This gun was loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair." MORAL: Women are crazy. Don't mess with them Scores for the January Fracus went like this...
