Makes one wonder what the NRA is teaching you to hunt in the "PPIH/PPOH" course curriculums.......saf
As to not knowing what the NRA is all about. What they are all about is irrelevant if the majority of paying members are not self-defense folks but sporting shooting folks. Simulated home defense drills are not considered traditional sport shooting.

So, you are basing your view upon what those people believe? What do they reply with when you let them know that the NRA teaches Pistol Self-defense courses? Those have nothing to do with hunting.OC for ME said:Hunters may or may not have a handgun for self defense in the home. If they do have one then it is just one and it never leaves the house. I know at least two dozen folks (anecdotal evidence), NRA members, back in South Carolina that fall in that category. You work against their 2A right to hunt with a gun, that's how they look at the 2A, then they get all riled up. You work against OC or CCW, they may never even notice, let alone care because they don't carry.
Taking the relevant NRA course curriculums, speaking to your NRA legislative people to get relevant laws passed. The course of the NRA isn't "all about the hunting, and nothing but the hunting," no matter how much you want to paint them to be such.OC for ME said:So, where does this leave us bitter clingers who are about self-defense first, hunting second? The minority in the eyes of the NRA. Campus carry? What is the average age of the NRA membership? I'll betcha that it is older than college age. Once again, a non-issue for those members. Maybe if they got kids going to college, maybe they may have some interest, would that interest rise to the level to change the course of the NRA, probably not.
Do you deny that the NRA backed HB294? What in that bill had to do with hunting?

Making it legal to buy and own transferable weapons isn't anything to do with hunting, why did they support that?
