Weekend before Christmas, sunny on Saturday, 80 degrees, fifteen Americans showed up, most first timers, ages from 11 to 62, and everyone listened, learned, and made great progress.  It was a joy watching the progress over the weekend.  Plus -- new IIT0, congrats to Alt-F4_Phantom (who also shot a 249 with a bolt gun), and a new Red Hat for Texas -- congrats to ennfour!
"It is an uphill struggle, but I wish that we could distinguish more carefully between freedom and liberty. These conditions are not the same, though they are certainly related. Freedom is the absence of restraint - a physical circumstance. Liberty, on the other hand, is a political situation denoting the lawful capability of the citizen to defend himself and his near and dear without interference from the state. Note that the Declaration of Independence forcibly and particularly establishes the blessings of liberty upon ourselves and our posterity. I like to carry a pocket copy of the Declaration, plus the Constitution, in my travels. It is a good thing to have in hand when discussions arise."
-- Col. Jeff Cooper, Commentary
