One Day… to protect your hunting rights!

Dear Conservationist

Do you think that military members should hunt and fish for free? Do
you think our hunting rights should be protected? Do you think we
should do everything we can to keep Asian carp out of Michigan waters?
Of course you do. But…

Are you willing to spend one day over the next six weekends to prove it?

Because that’s what it will take to get it done. We have six weekends
left to collect signatures for the Scientific Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Act, which keeps licenses free for military members,
protects hunting rights and fights Asian carp. If you can volunteer
just one day over the final six weekends, then we can get the
signatures we need to pass this law. If not, then anti-hunters will
take away free licenses from active military members and take away the
ability of biology to determine which species we hunt or how our
fisheries are managed.

We have tables set up at major outdoor retailers across the state,
including Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops and Jay’s Sporting Goods. But we
need volunteers to man those tables and collect signatures from fellow
hunters and anglers to pass this law. It’s simple: the more volunteers
we have, the more signatures we can collect.

So what we’re asking is this: pick one Saturday or Sunday from the
next six weekends (Friday and Saturday this weekend), and commit to
manning a table for a few hours at one of the following stores, then
reply to this email or sign up here to tell us which day you can help.
If you can do that, then you can be a critical part of the biggest
initiative to protect hunting rights in Michigan in almost twenty years.

Bass Pro Shops – Auburn Hills, MI
Cabela’s – Dundee, MI
Cabela’s – Grandville, MI
Cabela’s – Saginaw, MI
Jay’s Sporting Goods – Clare, MI
Gander Mountain – any near you.

Just one day, that’s all it takes to protect hunting rights, keep
licenses free for the military, and fight Asian carp. Sign up to
volunteer right now!

Thank you.

Yours in conservation,

Show files are up on the Podcast Page! We had many callers this weeks:

• Kyle called to remind us of the Great Lakes Preppers Expo at Birch Run next weekend on the 19th. The speaker schedule for the 19th is displayed below:

• Al from the NRA called to talk about the great “Friends of the NRA” banquets taking place all over Michigan. By attending on of these you help fund Youth Matches and education through the state.
• Joe from Saline called to ask about the proper method of legally transporting firearms in your car.

Our Trivia question went unanswered this week, see if you know the answer:

• “What famous “Quarter bore” cartridge wss the first factory load to exceed 3000 feet per second? (hint: it was developed in 1915)

Now we know that the reason for the Klingon’s success on sissy planets where the populace was governed by a machine or government that provided everything thing they needed to survive. Not only did it destroy their independence and ability to care for themselves. They also prevented their ability to defend themselves by making the planet a “Phaser Free Zone”

“We heard this was a Phaser Free Zone”

Klingon Phrase – This explains their success!

It didn’t work in the 25th Century and it won’t work now!

What a fun show today we talked about:

Larry from Ypsilanti about Triggers for Rifles

Lots of Politics, The recent Fort Hood Shooting (Gun Free Zone)

Calls from Democrat Senators to change the Gun laws due to Anti-Gun Democratic State Senators running an arms deal that was bringing illegal fully automatic firearms and shoulder fired missiles into the U.S. Sounds a little like “Fast and Furious” to me!

A Bill in Florida to prevent Schools from expelling kids that make a gun with their fingers or bite a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

A company in Florida that offers grips for toaster pastries in the shap of firearms. How cool is that?

Andrew from Manchester was the drawing winner of this weeks Ann Arbor Arms prize. Andrew won a Trauma Pak Pro and and Pepper Blitz pepper spray.

• State Senator Pat Colbeck joined me in Studio to talk about thre bills moving through our our State Legislation including one signe by the Governor that restores our rights to own short barreled rifles and shotguns!

Fun show Today! John from Danville, Illinois let me know he was in town and I asked him to join me in studio. We talked about the Illinois concealed carry progress, and John helped answer questions from some of the callers.

John brought in his Smith&Wesson 500 revolver and Taurus Raging Bull in 454 Casull. These are huge handguns are a tremendous hand full to shoot. I had the opportunity to pull the trigger a few times with John: definately not for the faint hearted or weak of wrist!

Below is a picture of John’s 500 S&W along with his Taurus Raging Bull in 454Casull and my Ruger SP101 (carry gun) in .357 Magnum for comparison.

I also did a comparison shot of the Ammo.

500 S&W (Left), 454 Casull (Center) and .357 Magnum (Right)

 Robert from Chelsea called in to try to identify a rifle that he got from his father.  This 1943 marked semi-auto in 8mm sounds like it might be a German G43.

Take a look at these pistures to see if this looks like what you have?

Today was our second weekly drawing for an item from Ann Arbor Arms. John from Wyandotte, MI won the drawing for a $25 gift card!

Thanks to all the listeners that called in, Dan Martin was really kept busy answering the phones and filling out your entries.

Stay tuned each week for your chance to win either a gift card or merchandise that will be listed each week.
