Second Amendment Foundation Launches Huge Online Store
OCT 25, 2010 07:38P.M. Second Amendment Rights Reaffirmed After Sacramento Sheriff’s Office Changes Gun Carry Policies Case continues against yolo county, CA to secure right to self-defense. Second Amendment Foundation BELLEVUE, WA --(Ammoland.com)- Today, the Second Amendment Foundation announced its online store affiliate program, which will allow organizations to support the SAF and its mission.

The Calguns Foundation (www.calgunsfoundation.org) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which serves its members by providing Second Amendment-related education, strategic litigation and the defense of innocent California gun owners from improper or malicious prosecution. The Calguns Foundation works to educate government and protect the rights of individuals to acquire, own, and lawfully use firearms in California.
While Sacramento County has changed its policies, other counties still fail to recognize that self-defense is a legally sufficient reason for issuance of a handgun carry permit. The litigation will continue against Yolo County and its Sheriff, Ed Prieto, on behalf of SAF, Calguns, and Davis resident Adam Richards. Additionally, this past March, Calguns supporter Brett Stewart unsuccessfully asserted self-defense as a basis for seeking a carrying license from Sheriff Prieto.

The Sheriff’s written policy states that “self protection and protection of family (without credible threats of violence)” are insufficient reasons to exercise Second Amendment rights. Mr. Stewart will seek to join the litigation as a plaintiff in this case, now styled Richards v. Prieto.

“We are very happy to have been able to work with Sheriff McGinness to assist Sacramento County in revising their policies and practices,” said Gene Hoffman, Chairman of the Calguns Foundation. “Over the past year, more than 30 of our law abiding members and supporters have received licenses to carry firearms with good cause’ statements that are simple variations of self-defense. Even though the Sheriff is retiring at the end of the year, both candidates to replace Sheriff McGinness have publicly stated their support for Second Amendment rights and that they consider self-defense a compelling reason for issuance of gun carry permit.”

American Deer & Wildlife Alliance Supports North Dakota Hunters
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
OCT 25, 2010 06:02P.M. LINCOLN, Neb. –-(Ammoland.com)- Pheasant hunting season opens across the state on Oct. 30, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
American Deer & Wildlife Alliance Supports Choice for North Dakota Hunters
Pheasant abundance appears to be high in southwest Nebraska, according to Game and Parks’ 2010 Upland Game Hunting Outlook. Combined with public access, this region should offer excellent pheasant hunting opportunities. The outlook is based on surveys and input from biologists and staff. According to the outlook, the abundance of pheasants in Nebraska this year is highest in the southwest, followed by the Sandhills, central, northeast, Panhandle, and southeast regions. Overall, the abundance statewide is slightly lower than in 2009.
American Deer & Wildlife Alliance AUSTIN, Texas --(Ammoland.com)- On Nov. 2nd, North Dakota voters will consider Measure 2, a ballot initiative which could restrict hunting opportunities and land owners’ rights.
Pheasant season is an excellent opportunity for experienced hunters to introduce the activity to a person who never has hunted or reintroduce it to someone who has not hunted in many years.
The American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA) reaffirms its support for freedom of choice among sportsmen in all forms of hunting and private property rights for land owners.
The pheasant season ends Jan. 31, 2011. Only rooster pheasants may be taken. The daily bag limit is three birds and the possession limit is 12.
The ADWA strongly believes support for all forms of hunting creates more hunting opportunities, provides greater accessibility for sportsmen of all ages, and helps preserve our American outdoor traditions.
The quail and partridge seasons also are Oct. 30-Jan. 31. All upland bird hunters, except for residents under age 16, are required

“Private property rights are the cornerstone of America. If North Dakota’s Measure 2 is passed, sportsmen will have less opportunities to hunt and we all lose a bit more of our freedom. We lose more of what makes us Americans.”

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus Any Campus, USA --(Ammoland.com)- Once again, Colorado is the scene for one of the next steps in the fight to restore the right to selfdefense on campus, as once again one of their flagship universities turns to the courts to validate its defiance of state law.
• Tom Garlock: Mr. Garlock brings over twenty years of experience to Benchmade. He has spent several years in the sports industry where he worked for Nike, adidas and Mizuno focusing on the marketing and sales side of the business. Mr. Garlock graduated from Oregon State University.
The University of Colorado (CU) is being sued by Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC) for its refusal to comply with the state law passed in 2002 which restricts entities that can prohibit concealed carry. The university board of regents still asserts their right to enact campuswide bans on concealed carry, despite its absence on the list of approved self-defense regulators.
• Matt Elliott: Mr. Elliott most recently was Marketing Coordinator for Wilsonville, Oregon-based Houdini Automotive Escape Tools. He has also worked for Sportsman’s Warehouse and spent two years in Bristol Bay, Alaska as a sports fishing guide on the Togiak river. Mr. Elliott graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelors of Science in International Marketing and Advertising Management.
In December 2008, SCCC in conjunction with the Mountain States Legal Foundation sued CU for violating Colorado law. The court dismissed the lawsuit, but an appeal quickly brought victory. The CU Board of Regents voted to appeal. On Monday, the Colorado Supreme Court agreed to grant a writ of certiorari to CU in their appeal.

This extra day of hunter opportunity did not directly translate into double hunter numbers or harvest from past opening Sundays, but Region 2 hunter check station data for the weekend did show hunter success rates on par with the past five years—with an average of 9 percent of hunters bringing home game in the season’s first two days.

Over 2,800 hunters passed through the three Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks (FWP) check stations in west-central Montana – located near Darby, Bonner and Anaconda - this opening weekend, compared to 2,715 on opening Sunday last year. These hunters checked a total of 251 animals, including 137 elk, 26 mule deer and 83 white-tailed deer. Last year, on opening day, hunters reported 100 elk, 17 mule deer, and 44 white-tailed deer. Because of the two-day opening weekend this year, direct comparisons can’t be made to deer and elk harvest numbers in previous openers, but the region’s check stations still had stories to tell. Although the 1,082 hunters that passed through the Darby check station in the Bitterroot Valley over two days almost equaled the 5-year average of 1,050 for opening day, more of these hunters had elk than in recent

years. The harvest of 81 elk through Darby was the highest ever recorded in 57 years for this point in the season. Approximately 75% of these elk were harvested in the Big Hole Valley. FWP counts harvest from the Big Hole because many of these elk winter in the East Fork of the Bitterroot (Hunting District 270). Very few harvested elk came from the West Fork of the Bitterroot where elk numbers are well below objective and FWP has nearly eliminated antlerless elk harvest opportunity.

Hunters reported 26 elk through the Anaconda station, and harvest locations were widely scattered from the drainages leading to the check station. “This was a great opening weekend for elk hunters in the Upper Clark Fork,” FWP Wildlife Biologist, Ray Vinkey said. White-tailed deer harvest over the weekend was down in the Blackfoot compared to the five-year average for opening day due largely to more conservative hunting seasons for does and fawns. FWP eliminated the traditional first eight-day either sex season for white-tails this year for the first time in over a decade. Hunters still reported harvesting 58 white-tailed deer, this year, which included 44 bucks. By the end of the weekend, rain was falling across most of the western Montana valleys and snow was beginning to collect in the higher elevations, giving a promising outlook to harvest success for the remainder of the season’s first week.

FWP Wildlife Manager Mike Thompson noted that the two-day opener combined with an early youth deer hunt threw the hunter travel patterns off a little bit this year and made it tricky to get a good read on how harvest totals are standing compared to years past.
Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- I would like to tell you he isn’t, but there’s no getting around the evidence. But more on that shortly. Sometimes people make the mistake of believing that simply because a politician says “I’m pro-gun” it means he or she will vote for freedom once elected to office.
“We’ll have to wait to see how harvest totals play out over the season, but so far the check station data is telling us that, overall, hunters had a pretty good weekend out there,” Thompson said.
I hope you don’t make that mistake. You see, the United States Senate is only one or two votes away from taking away your right to keep and bear arms.

Consider this: We have the most anti-gun administration in years. The last time we had executives this radical, the Brady Bill was shoved down our throats, banning an entire class of semi-automatic hunting and sporting rifles and stripping rights from gun owners.

In other words, it is absolutely critical for gun owners to know where every candidate stands on liberty, especially in the U.S. Senate. That’s why we sent surveys to candidates in the Colorado Senate race, asking specific questions about their stance on your right to keep and bear arms.

The results may surprise you.
2. Thank Republican candidate Ken Buck for his staunch support of the Second Amendment and for pledging to fight against efforts to curb those rights.
First, the good news: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck answered the National Association for Gun Rights’ 2010 Federal Candidate Survey 100% progun.
There’s no question about it, the upcoming election is an historic one that will greatly affect the direction our great country is headed, more so than at any time in our lifetime.
Ken Buck has a specific plan to oppose all gun legislation and protect your rights.
With so much at stake, I am going above and beyond to make sure that every person in Colorado who cares about the Second Amendment knows exactly where their candidates stand.
But now for some bad news: But even more important, contact Senator Bennet to demand he answer some hard questions about his views on the Second Amendment.
Democrat Senator Michael Bennet refused to answer our survey. Unfortunately, when a candidate ignores our survey, it means they will vote for gun control legislation if elected. It means they are hiding their views.
Act fast. There’s not a moment to lose.
But that’s not all.
Sincerely, Dudley Brown Executive Director
Senator Bennet actually has a voting record, and it’s not good.
P.S. Make Senator Bennet apologize for his anti-gun voting record.
Bennet has routinely voted for gun control.
Contact his office and demand he answer the National Association for Gun Rights survey and pledge to stand up against anti-gunners in Washington.
In fact, Senator Bennet has voted: • to confirm the most anti-gun Attorney General in American history;
And while you’re at it, thank Ken Buck for not compromising and for answering his Candidate Survey 100% in favor of supporting your right to keep and bear arms.
• to confirm two of the most anti-gun Supreme Court nominees ever offered;
About: The National Association for Gun Rights was founded in 2001 to serve as a grassroots gun rights group focusing on building state-level gun rights groups and lobbying for pro-gun federal legislation. Brown has been a gun lobbyist for more than 17 years. Visit: www.nationalgunrights.org
• to confirm a new anti-gun “Regulatory Czar”. …And the list goes on. Bennet’s record is one of supporting gun control – even when the stakes are high – and opposing pro-gun reforms. That’s why it is vital in this election to make your voice heard.

Nothing gets my blood boiling more than politicians who believe in compromising your rights for the sake of advancing their own careers, especially when those rights are guaranteed by our Constitution.

Is Colorado Senator Michael Bennet Anti-Gun? Appears So! Tags: Anti Gun Politicians, Colorado, Dudley Brown, Endorsements, Gun Voters, NAGR, National Association for Gun Rights
Here’s what you can do: 1. Call Senator Bennet’s office and tell him to apologize for his antigun voting record. Demand that he answer the survey from the National Association of Gun Rights and pledge that he will stand up against anti-gun legislation in the future.

photovoltaic (PV) system that generates about 48 megawatt-hours per year and supplies 33 percent of the building’s electrical needs. The building also converted from geothermal to a natural gas-fired ENERGY STAR heating system. These measures saved more than 115 million Btu and 31 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions while reducing energy costs by more than one third in FY2009. Even greater energy savings are expected for FY2010, now that the PV system has had a full year of operation. More than 255,000 visitors come through the center each year and learn about the system’s performance by visiting the interactive display.
National Wildlife Refuges Honored With Federal Energy & Water Management Awards OCT 25, 2010 04:16P.M. National Wildlife Refuges Honored With Federal Energy & Water Management Awards
The 6,957 square-foot headquarters and visitors center at Inland Northwest National Wildlife Refuge Complex, Cheney, Washington, incorporates numerous energy-saving strategies, including superinsulation, a cool roof, energy-efficient LED lighting with occupancy sensors, triple-paned low-emissivity windows, optimal building orientation, and local stone and concrete to enhance thermal mass and help maintain comfortable temperatures. The main building uses a 14.35-ton geothermal heat pump with an overhead electric forced-air system for heating and cooling, a 4.9- kilowatt grid-tied solar photovoltaic array for electricity and a flat-plate roof-mounted solar collector system for hot water. To conserve water, the grounds were landscaped with native plant species; low-flow plumbing fixtures were used; and bioswales were installed for parking lot runoff. Most of the building materials have a high recycled content, and more than half of the construction waste was recycled. The efficient design reduces energy use by about 32 percent as compared to an average building; 15.5 megawatt-hours of renewable power save at least 10 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Two national wildlife refuges on opposite coasts received 2010 Federal Energy and Water Management Awards from the Department of Energy for their innovative, sustainable designs of visitor centers and administrative headquarters.
The visitor area of the new headquarters will include information describing the sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (http://www.fws.gov/turnbull/) welcomes about 49,000 visitors annually and offers recreational and educational opportunities year-round.
The two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service winners were Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Massachusetts and Inland Northwest National Wildlife Refuge Complex, located on Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. The winners were announced during an awards ceremony on October 7 in Washington, DC.
The Service is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its facilities and becoming carbon neutral by 2020, as outlined in its recently finalized climate change strategy ( http://www.fws.gov/home/climatechange/strategy.html).
The Federal Energy and Water Management Awards recognize individuals, groups and agencies for their outstanding contributions in the areas of energy efficiency, water conservation and the use of advanced and renewable energy technologies at federal facilities.
“The work of national wildlife refuges is essential not only in protecting wildlife habitat, but also in leading by example in energy efficiency,” said Acting Service Director Rowan Gould. “Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Inland Northwest National Wildlife Refuge Complex are prime examples of how we intend to reach our goal by 2020.”
The Parker River Refuge Visitor Center and Administrative Headquarters ( http://www.fws.gov/northeast/parkerriver/) was built in 2003 as a model of sustainable design, complete with passive solar techniques, super-insulation of the building envelope, high-efficiency lighting, and a geothermal open loop ground source heat pump that reduces energy use by 41 percent as compared to a traditional office building. Although the land around the building was restored to its natural habitat, highly corrosive groundwater caused the geothermal system to fail. Parker River Refuge was undeterred.
About: The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources,

The Senator now claims the NRA is endorsing her. Our inquiry to the NRA confirms this is not true. The NRA is endorsing the Republican Candidate.

Senator Murkowski earned a D rating from the NRA until she started holding NRA Trap Shoot fund raisers which elevated her to an A rating. The Senator has voted against gun owner rights many times. She voted for the most un-American, anti-Second Amendment attorney general in the history of the United States which shows poor taste and judgment. Gun Owners of America (GOA) labeled her as a ‘compromiser’ because of her drifting with the wind. How many times have the NRA and GOA urged us to write to Murkowski to persuade her to vote American? She eventually did change, but why was it necessary for us to write to her? What part of ‘inalienable right’ doesn’t she understand?
