special_K's dad surprised her with an AR built on a Project Appleseed logoed lower. She promptly put it to good use retiring her orange hat. WileyCoyote quickly upgraded it to a pink sling.

WHOOP WHOOP!!!  WAY TO GO SPECIAL-K!!!!

Can't wait to work with you again!!!  You are amazing!!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS for stepping up!

tk
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

The difference between a novice and a master: the novice does it until they get it right. The master does it until they can't get it wrong.

Appleseed Math is simple:  Rack grade rifle + surplus ball ammo + rock solid fundamentals = hits on target out to 500 yards

We're in the Liberty business.  Stay on Mission & Stay on Message.

I have come here to chew gum and teach riflemen the art of shooting one hole groups and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Well deserved!!!
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

I'm in a similar situation to you & your father - I'm fortunate enough to work with one of my daughters as a blue hat.  I'm quite certain that your father is very proud of you.

Congratulations, you did a great job this weekend.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
