I have been in Appleseed since September of 2008 and I will never forget my journey, which is why I thought writing articles for magazines could be beneficial in getting other women to start shooting and of course promote Appleseed! I started with the online Guns and Lace magazine and it was accepted! Please check it out, my article is on page 12.

Captain Noah Cook a Revolutionary War Veteran was my great, great, great,...great grandfather. Noah Cook enlisted in the militia on April 21, 1775 at age 18 upon learning of the Battles of Lexington and Concord that morning. His company left on that day for Concord arriving April 24, 1775.*

Nice write-up!  But you forgot to mention you were planning to shoot boss a Ladyseed in MN in the coming future. ^-^

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

Haven't quite figured out the details yet, but...  There's certainly some desire.
