Congrats to Sleepy on 50 Shoot Pin

I hope all of you Appleseeders will join me in congratulating Sleepy on earning his 50 shoot pin. He actually hit the 50 event milestone several events ago, but as usual for Sleepy, he didn't bother attracting any attention to his own accomplishments. We made sure to correct that oversight at our Instructor's Pistol Clinic (which Sleepy set up) up in Laramie this past weekend.

Most of us who volunteer know the commitment it takes to work 50 events, we're talking about a year's worth of weekends! But on top of that, Sleepy has done those events all around the country; over the past 4 years he's volunteered at events in 12 different states and at over 27 ranges! He goes wherever there's a need. Now he's standing in as the State Coordinator in Wyoming which has the most shoots/shooters per capita of any state in the country!

It was certainly an honor to be part of the group of instructors who were there to witness Sleepy receiving his 50 shoot pin.

Big Huzzah and congratulations!

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…"

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

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

Congratulations Rick,  and thank you for your dedication to the Appleseed program!  I know you have put in a lot of miles and time to further the cause and volunteers such as yourself are truly special.  Does anyone know how to do cloning?

See you in Cheyenne in May!

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,  and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
