Any news on FSA battle?

Collin, what is the status of the battle with Fairfield Sportsmen Association on concealed carry? I know it is a trade between principle and being held hostage by insurance carriers. Any news?

I'm not Collin, but have friends and family who are FSA members. The present board members there are not about to rescind this policy best I can see. That leaves an "internal coup" as one option for club members. Meaning "throw the bums out" at the next election, not an armed insurrection, btw.

In the interim, I'm boycotting the place by not attending matches there, and recommending other clubs to any area folks who ask me for advice.

On a related note, was at Clinton Co. farmers and Sportsmans club Sunday. On the clubhouse entry is a sign saying "Please leave concealed handguns holstered when entering", or words to that effect. makes a LOT more sense from my chair...

No news yet. I do know that plenty of members are ticked at the board. I find it somewhat bizarre that a gun club like FSA can be anti-gun.

I often get the two of you confused.

That's a great sign. It address the only issue that really matters.

This is the first I've heard of this! An anti-gun gun club?

I am one of those very ticked FSA members.

The hypocritical idiocy of some board members is amazing. FSA teaches CCW classes but then does not trust those same people to CCW on their property.

I joined Middletown Sportsmen's Club a few months ago and I really like it there. I doubt that I will send in membership dues to FSA for next year.
