What Influential Members of Your Community are Pro RKBA?

MeekAndMild · September 11, 2005, 08:19 PM

What influential members of your community (that you know personally) are pro RKBA? If I get the poll to work right it will allow multiple checks. I realize the categories are pretty arbitrary and leave out a lot.

Please! I'm not interested in elected officials even the Judge or Sheriff if they are elected, and I'm not interested in professional lobbyists or others whose job is to change public opinion.
Also, please no gun store operators or FFLs (or for that matter, people who publish gun magazines). However other media types can be lumped under Business Professionals.

Please feel free to specify any other in a post. For instance in my community farmers are very influential persons and I know several who are pro RKBA.

Interesting question.

I personally know half a dozen or so strongly pro-gun LEOs, that many again current or ex-military officers, two locally high-profile attorneys, one medical doctor, one psychiatrist, and my neighbor, who is one of the top three biological scientists in the world (he would also be attorney #3, although he has never practiced.) Oh, and one retired public school principal.

These are all members of my gun club.

I cant explain how I got so Pro 2A as I cant name anyone who was influential on it.

My story was I ALWAYS wanted a handgun. on my 21st, I got my self one just to have, shoot, and enjoy. THEN I realized how important the self protection and 2A aspects of ownership are.

I don't know, Avizpls. Most of the people in my immediate family are what O'Reilly calls "Koolaid drinking liberals" and I turned out conservative and fairly libertarian. Bumping this thread back to the top.
