Anybody have any recent news stories/blog entries to submit?
Frustration is knowing the agenda is no longer hidden and yet some of the sheep are still going along with it.

Wrought flame in another man's heart."

Nero, as this relationship grows (between Chris at Lucky Gunner and my Crew) I hope to work towards your suggestion. Assuming you intended to imply they include Appleseed related items in their packages.

Thoughts?

    techres is the source for "box cards" - AS inserts to be added to shipments made by cooperating industry partners.

Colorado Public School Takes Students on a Field Trip to the Shooting Range

and Students at the shooting range for gun safety

http://www.krdo.com/news/students-at-the-shooting-range-for-gun-safety/25055098
How cool is that!

School officials in Pueblo County, Colorado are bucking the anti-gun trend and recently approved a field trip for middle school students to a local shooting range where they learned about gun safety and how to properly handle a firearm. The gun safety and marksman group Project Appleseed, an activity of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association, was brought in to instruct students, all of whom fired at the range with live ammunition. The trip was scheduled shortly after students learned about The Revolutionary War in their classrooms.

"We've never been allowed to bring actual real firearms into a school. Until this week. This is a very big deal. We had them touching fire arms, holding them and learning about how to handle them safely," Appleseed Instructor Elizabeth Blackwood told KRDO.

Here is the money quote from student Jonah Statezny, who went on the trip: "I think everyone should learn how to use a gun but learn how to use it properly, and the precautions you're supposed to take and how serious a gun really is."
"Then there are sheepdogs," he went on, "and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf."

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."  Abraham Lincoln

I, with my cohost, do a podcast that is about guns, gear, preparedness and quite frequently talk about the greatness of Project Appleseed. My cohost got his patch at the first AS that he attended and is only waiting to attend another to take an orange hat We have recently had several listeners that attended Appleseeds and left with the coveted patch and one has recently taken an orange hat in Texas.
On April 19 we posted two shows that were from a two part interview that I did with Scout and have been two of our most downloaded shows. The link that follows will lead you to the shows if you want to listen

Nice facebook page. I'm thinking you should interview the guy who designed the 50th anniversary 10/22 on your radio show since he is a Appleseed instructor.

Saturday May 17th at a temporary range on a Christmas Tree farm at Cheshire, Oregon we had a one day Appleseed shoot.  We had nine participates.  I thought the number rather small but the instructors, Griff Marshall (OR state cordinator) and Ben Edman thought the number alright and they came down to work with us.  They brought Ben's RV and parked it on the level on top of the hill and spent the night.  The activity began at 8:30 AM with each participate setting up on the firing line.  We had a mother/daughter (11 years old) team with another 11 year old boy with them, a pair of  young men unknown to the rest of us, a father/teen aged son pair, a single man, and an  80 year old man. 
Our instructors were well versed, had great personalities, and presented themselves well.  Our day went with lessons on the Revolutionary War and shooting at prepared targets.  Exciting day and the climaxe was the AQT shoot with only one making the marksmanship patch. 
The targets were of course 25 meters out but up an incline that was a problem for the old man and he finally quit and became an observer toward the end of the day but he still participated with the instructors. 
A great day, great companions, great weather and an all around great experience.  Look forward to doing it again.   ^:)^ ;)
