Springtime in Texas, and a solid step forward to Building a Nation of Rifleman

23 shooters, several first time to actually touch a rifle, and by the end of the weekend, we had four new Riflemen, one new Orange Hat, two Instructor promotions, and everyone made great progress.

New Riflemen: Scott from Houston, Jeremy from College Station, Michael from Arlington, and Anand (I think from Austin).

New Orange Hat: Michael from Arlington (say congratulations and welcome aboard to MonocogMike).

Promotions: Ennfour to IIT1 (ask him how to select a forum name, it's unique); and a real hard charger, Gimley, who is one of our TrailLife shooters who started at age 11 six years ago, and is now adding a lot of forward momentum.

Special shoutout to Ralph Smith, who made significant progress towards IIT3.  Great job running the line and instruction on Sunday.
"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
