David Codrea is a well-known gunwriter who to my knowledge has not yet come to an Appleseed (Dave, consider this an invite!).
His latest mention of our program is at http://www.examiner.com/x-1417-Gun-Rights-Examiner~y2009m10d9-Sheriff-hosting-rifle-training-shows-proper-mindset-toward-gun-owners
I read his gun rights examiner column daily since I found out he links to our site. I like to slip in a plug for Appleseed in the comments section whenever I see an opportunity. He is definitely a supporter of the program, but its tough to grasp fully the purpose and meaning of the program without actually experiencing a shoot.
I hope he does accept the invite. He writes very well and persuasively and has a pretty good sized following online. Somebody who could really take the 7th step to a wide audience.
Codrea got the info for that blog entry from Jeffersonian.
He has a blog at http://jeffersonian.therealgunguys.com/ (http://jeffersonian.therealgunguys.com/)
and had attended three or four Appleseeds to date. That information is on the lead-in to his blog.
Just thought you ought to know.
