[QUOTE="elcaBob, post: 1137428, member: 3143"] I sent this letter to a few NRA email addresses yesterday: I would think that, as the most powerful (read, well funded) gun rights organization in the United States, the NRA would support [I]all[/I] of its members in [I]all[/I] of the States. However, this silly, little assumption appears to be quite wrong. In Oklahoma, a bill was passed recently by the state legislature that would allow open carry by those in possession of CCW licenses. While we citizens (many of whom are NRA members and contributors) work the phones, Governor Brad Henry’s office teeters on the brink of a veto. It’s at this time, near the very end of this arduous battle, that the NRA delivered us all a shock. When asked why the NRA hasn’t taken [I]any[/I] kind of stance through this long process, the response by an NRA-ILA staffer was, “the NRA is taking a neutral stance on this legislation until Governor Henry announces his decision”. Are you kidding? Completely ignoring such a potentially large step forward is reprehensible! We members rely on the NRA to take a stand in favor of freedom in fights like these. Your organization’s self acknowledged invisibility on this issue is highly disappointing, to say the least. There are many here in Oklahoma that are being forced to second-guess their membership investments. Why give to an organization that ignores us when we need them the most? Thank You, blah blah blah [/QUOTE]
