NRA Basic Pistol class scheduled for March 17 & 18
My next NRA Basic Pistol class will be held on Monday and Tuesday, March 17 & 18 starting at 6 p.m. each night. An ideal number of students for me is six, and I think I have three, so I’d like to again reach out to readers to see if they are interested.
Read MoreBig gun lobby dollars heading to Virginia governor’s race

Read MoreSan Francisco mayor blames NRA for triple homicide
I’m questioning future visits to San Francisco until this idiot Gavin Newsom is out of office. He actually smiles as he says the NRA is against “anything that restricts the opportunity for a guy who gets cut off in traffic from pulling out a hand gun and almost assassinating an entire family, as was the…
