President’s Corner
Summer is here and the outdoors is calling. So far the temperature has been wonderful. Good time to get active in the IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association)shooting events or go to one of the many Missouri Conservation outdoor ranges to maintain your shooting skills. Don’t forget the Arnold Rifle & Pistol Club is looking for new members as well as the Glendale Gun Club, so don’t let the summer slip by.
On Sunday June 7th antigun group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense had their antigun protest by marching down Lockwood in Webster Groves. I just had to be present with my extra large “GUNS SAVE LIVES” sign, with an orange GCLA button and a “BLACK GUNS MATTER“ button topped with a nice NRA hat. They must be getting used to me. The reaction wasn’t as noticeable this year as in the past. This has become an annual event for them. After the march went by I stood on the sidewalk for oncoming traffic to see the sign. The positive toots of the horn told me that not all residents of that town are goofs.
Have fun! Get active!
President, GCLA
