Not everyone is as trained as Sean seems to be. If you have a State Org, Like we have FOAC in PA, choose to go through them or contact the NRA, SAF or other professional body. I am the grassroots contact for my local paper, and before I ever give a statement, I get my facts and figures checked and double checked. All reporters are not looking for a fair story!<br />I am very happy this story had a very happy ending!Dannythemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989960286856430952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-50322609159672214982011-09-20T23:14:44.187-04:002011-09-20T23:14:44.187-04:00Thanks John.

She called me out of the blue for the story on the Garner man who shot at the robbers, and that's how I ended up getting interviewed that time. <br /><br />We actually met during the whole Ashley Smithwick, knife in school debacle. I explained to her that "tools used solely for maintenance and food preparation" were exempted from the knives in school law. <br /><br />I hear from her every once in a while about firearm and self defense related stories.Sean D Sorrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710448105506060349noreply@blogger.com
