A great weekend in a beautiful locale -- the home of Brother Pilot in the rolling hills of Staunton, VA. It was great to put faces to some forum names that I have corresponded with for many years. Many thanks to Jay for hosting us and grilling burgers and brats for the instructor meal Saturday night.

We had 14 folks turn out for the IBC, coming from as far away as Maine.

The weather was crisp and cool -- perfect for shooting, and we had some excellent shooting (Jesse's going to be a great pistol instructor).

Thanks to all for making the trek out to Virginia for this great event.
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.�
― Hyman G. Rickover
