[QUOTE="Lomshek, post: 2619948, member: 9239"] It's been that way since Appleseed started I think. The idea is that these folks tend to be the last to try something like Appleseed (thus the removal of one more obstacle) but also the ones who can most help the Appleseed long term goal of winning the "soft war" (hearts and minds to increase the appreciation of our liberty and the sacrifices it took to get us that liberty) so that we never have to resort to using the Second Amendment. If a sheriff, county commissioner, mayor or other "person of influence" have attended an Appleseed chances are they'll come away with a much deeper appreciation of what our founders sacrificed to give us this nation and less likely to accept overreaching federal edicts into all facets of our lives. How awesome would that be! Unfortunately we don't get too many elected officials so it's not like half the line is shooting for free. We do get a few lower level LEO's and a decent military representation. Personally if it helps our soldiers stay safer and gives them and the cops a little background into the origins of our heritage I'm OK with helping to underwrite that. Just think. Some day the patrol cop might be a chief and the E-4 could become an E-9. [/QUOTE]
