Making a tight squeeze even tighter, Clifton was helping his wife, Terri, prepare for an annual 5K race she hosts as director of the Chad Clifton Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money for wounded soldiers.
Clifton Wins Michigan Duck Stamp Contest SEP 09, 2010 01:59P.M.
Terri told him to paint. “You can’t wait for optimum conditions to succeed,” she said.
Clifton Wins Michigan Duck Stamp Contest By Rob Kunzig, a reporter based in Lewes, Del. www.capegazette.com
He started at 6 a.m., Thursday, July 22, cutting and prepping the board. As the gesso dried, he drove to Rehoboth Art & Framing and ordered his matting. By Friday afternoon, the painting was on its way to the Michigan Duck Hunter’s Association in Midland, Mich. Two weeks later, he sat in his gallery, knowing they’d be judging the paintings that evening, waiting for a call. When none came, he shrugged it off and returned to the house to watch TV. Terri came home a few hours later. Checking her email, she said to Clifton: “You didn’t tell me you’d won Michigan.” “I didn’t know,” he said. The call had come minutes after he went inside. Though he’s been painting for more than three decades, he never gets tired of winning, he said. “Within the last year, I’ve won three, finished second in one [North Carolina] and got two top fives [Delaware, Oklahoma],” he said. “If you were a race car driver, you’d be having a pretty good year.”
Clifton Wins Michigan Duck Stamp Contest
He’s hoping to extend his good fortunes. A reference photo was pinned to a lamp above his easel for this year’s Oklahoma contest, which he last won in the early ’90s. His reputation as a painter is well established by now – especially after he won the Federal Duck Stamp prize in 2007 – but Clifton isn’t one to rest on his laurels. Every year brings a new crop of hungry young artists, he said, several of whom are very good.
Sam Houston Duck Co. Houston, TX --(Ammoland.com)- It’s been a good year for duck stamp artist Richard Clifton. Since October 2009, the wildlife artist has won three state duck stamp prizes, making this year a bright spot in an already illustrious career.
“It only takes one to beat you,” he said. “But it gets tougher when there are several good ones.”
“It’s still a hoot to win,” he said. “I don’t enter to get fourth.”
The fresh competition only fuels him, he said; it makes him hungrier. Clifton said he’ll be eligible to enter the Federal Duck Stamp Contest once again in 2011. He grinned at the prospect.
His latest victory, Michigan, was won with a lone drake mallard. Elegant and understated, the composition is less ambitious than the descending pair of pintail ducks that won him Colorado in March. In all fairness, he found out about the contest two days before the deadline.

SEP 08, 2010 07:42P.M. NRA Challenges Constitutionality Of Federal Handgun Ban For Law Abiding 18-20 Year Olds
Here are a few of the most frequently referenced reasons: • Cost Savings: Saving money by assembling your own ammunition is an incentive to begin reloading. Depending on the caliber of ammunition, using factory loaded ammo can cost up to 60 percent more than reloading. And though money concerns may not be an overriding factor for some enthusiasts, it is a driving reason why shooters consider reloading in the first place. • Accuracy & Velocity: So you don’t believe that loading your own ammunition matters? Consider that most professional shooters carefully reload their own ammunition for improved shot groupings and velocity. And that means more power and consistency when it really matters. • Customized Loads: The flexibility to customize loads that are not available in factory ammunition. • Personal Satisfaction: Nothing can change the way you feel when you make something by hand. Loading your own ammunition is like restoring a classic car or completing a home improvement project. When you’re finished, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that the materials you’ve assembled were made by you for

The Association remains the nation’s leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the military. Visit: www.nra.org
The case was filed Tuesday evening in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Lubbock Division. James D’Cruz of Lubbock, TX is the plaintiff in this case. “In Heller and McDonald, the U.S. Supreme Court clearly stated that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms for all law-abiding Americans,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action.

“That right is not limited only to Americans twenty-one years of age and older. Indeed, throughout our nation’s history, adults beginning at age eighteen have served in the military and fought for this country with honor. But while the Supreme Court has consistently made clear that the federal government cannot ban or unduly restrict sales of items protected by the Constitution, the federal government continues to prohibit these adults from purchasing handguns from federally licensed dealers, which represent the largest and most accessible means of purchasing handguns.”

The suit asserts: “At eighteen years of age, law-abiding citizens in this country are considered adults for almost all purposes and certainly for the purposes of the exercise of fundamental constitutional rights. Indeed, at eighteen, citizens are eligible (and male citizens could be conscripted) to serve in the military-to fight and die by arms for the country. Yet, Section 922(b)(1) prohibits law-abiding adults in this age group from lawfully purchasing — from the most prevalent and readily available source – what the Supreme Court has called “the quintessential self-defense weapon” and “the most popular weapon chosen by Americans for selfdefense in the home.”

The plaintiff, Mr. D’Cruz, is well-trained in the proper handling and use of firearms, including handguns. His initial training was with his grandfather, a World War II veteran, who wanted his grandchildren to understand the proper and safe techniques for use and storage of firearms. Mr. D’Cruz received further training from his father and as a member of the Navy Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps, where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. During his junior and senior years of high school, Mr. D’Cruz was a member of the JROTC’s marksmanship team, and as member of that team has competed in regional and national marksmanship competitions. Mr. D’Cruz received numerous awards, including a first place medal for marksmanship, in a regional competition. Mr. D’Cruz also received a Foreign Legion unit award for marksmanship.

Buckeye Firearms Foundation Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- Regular readers of Buckeye Firearms Foundation website are familiar with the refrain ” elections matter.” Buckeye Firearms Association feels that elections are the most important component of firearm rights: without pro-gun legislators, prosecutors, judges and law enforcement, your fundamental right to own firearms and your fundamental right to self-defense are in constant peril.
In addition to signing up for these activities, each of us must roll up our sleeves and follow through with action. To protect our rights, we must redouble our commitment to do whatever is necessary to preserve, protect and defend the Second Amendment.
To give the reader an illustration of the importance of elections, we need to look no further than the final day of testimony on SB239 (restaurant carry and eliminating car carry restrictions) and SB247 (fixing Ohio’s restoration of rights statute).
Yours in freedom, NRA-ILA On this day, those opposed to your rights got their opportunity to testify in front of the Senate. The tone, and content, of the testimony starkly reveals the difference between elected and unelected officials.

Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police John Gilchrist Esq. is the professional/paid lobbyist for the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP.) In Ohio, Chiefs of Police are unelected officials, most often appointed by a mayor or a city council. There is no direct accountability to the voters. The OACP has opposed every single piece of pro-gun legislation that empowers civilians, including the original concealed carry law. This time was no different. During his testimony, Gilchrist opined that statistics are ” worthless” (thus the Senators should ignore any empirical evidence and/or what other states are doing.) He also spouted the tired refrain that guns and alcohol don’t mix, that licensees are a safety risk and that he wants licensee information to be public record. Gilchrist’s justification for making the licensee records public is that no one is telling the sheriff when a licensee is arrested (i.e. the police aren’t doing their job.)

Ohio Fraternal Order of Police Mark Drumm is the professional/paid lobbyist for the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP is a union that represents sworn police officers and is funded through union dues deducted from wages paid to police officers (i.e. funded by your tax dollars.) Neither the labor union leadership nor the members are directly accountable to voters. The FOP opposes SB239, according to Drumm, in part because it would: allow licensees to drive around twirling guns on their finger, allow the use of quick draw holsters that are a danger to police and require those going to restaurants to have ” designated shooters.” Drumm also testified that police officers should be allowed to drink in restaurants and/or while consuming because they are ” better trained,” ” better decision makers,” and have received weapons retention training. (I should note that I had the OPOTC training curriculum in my hands as Drumm testified, and sure enough, there isn’t any training about how to carry while intoxicated, no training on carrying concealed and no explanation of how a person would get into a situation where there would be a ” gun snatch” when the gun is concealed.) The tone, content and manner of his testimony was condescending and insulting to gun owners.

Un-Accountability On Display During Firearms Restaurant Carry Testimony SEP 08, 2010 04:21P.M. Importance Of Accountability On Display During Firearms Restaurant & Car Carry Rules Fix Opponent Testimony by Ken Hanson Esq.
Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association

Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
9 September 2010
Steve Loomis is the officer designated to represent the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association (CPPA). The CPPA is a union that represents sworn Cleveland police officers and is funded through union dues deducted from wages paid to police officers (i.e. funded by your tax dollars.) Neither the labor union leadership nor the members are directly accountable to voters. I note that Loomis is a designated officer versus a paid/professional lobbyist to point out that he isn’t doing this for a living. I make this point because I hope Loomis was simply having an ” off day,” as he generally has been polite, professional and supportive of concealed carry. His testimony on this day was quite the opposite.
If they don’t agree with something, they make that point in a professional way and then don’t belabor the point, appealing to emotional arguments or insults. The unelected officials/groups act much differently, with much more arrogance and contempt for your rights.
The CPPA is convinced that, if SB239 passes, drunken fools will be getting into gun fights instead of fist fights. (If a licensee is convicted of being in a fist fight, they are ineligible for a concealed handgun license (CHL) for 3 years, so obviously licensees aren’t getting into drunken fist fights now.) Perhaps most concerning Loomis opined several times that his officers were now more likely to shoot licensees during traffic stops and when responding to ” bar fights.” While his tone and demeanor were polite and professional, the content of his testimony was incredibly insulting to gun owners.
Ken Hanson is a gun rights attorney in Ohio. He serves as the Legislative Chair for Buckeye Firearms Association, and is the attorney of record for Buckeye Firearms Foundation, which filed friend-of-the-court briefs in the Heller and McDonald Supreme Court cases. The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) has awarded him with its 2008 Defender of Justice Award and 2009 Jay M. Littlefield Volunteer of the Year Award. He is the author of The Ohio Guide to Firearm Laws, a certified firearms instructor and holds a Type 01 Federal Firearms License.
Direct accountability matters a lot, and there are two parts to direct accountability: first, the position must be elected (i.e. it is well past time to pass a constitutional amendment requiring chiefs of police be elected) and second, you must work in support of, and get out and vote for, progun candidates.
Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association McKenzie Davis is a professional/paid lobbyist that represents the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association (BSSA). The BSSA is group organized to collectively represent Ohio’s 88 sheriffs, who are all elected officials and directly accountable to voters every four years. BSSA pointed out that they have supported most improvements to Ohio’s concealed carry law, and that they were the only group to support the original concealed carry law that established the license.

Davis’ testimony was about three minutes, was polite and professional; he made the few points in opposition and then he sat down.

Ohio Association of Prosecuting Attorneys John Murphy is a professional/paid lobbyist that represents the Ohio Association of Prosecuting Attorneys (OPAA). The OPAA is a group organized collectively to represent Ohio’s 88 prosecuting attorneys, who are all elected officials directly accountable to voters every 4 years. OPAA also includes prosecutorial staff, such as assistant prosecutors and victim advocates. The group is funded with dues almost always paid from tax dollars, either from prosecutor’s general funds or furtherance of justice funds (i.e. your tax dollars.) Murphy testified that OPAA was OK with removing the vehicle carry restrictions but had concerns about the restaurant carry portion. Murphy’s testimony was polite, subdued and to the point. I should note that Dave Yost, candidate for state Auditor, is on the current Executive Committee of OPAA, and Yost did a lot of work educating his fellow prosecutors on the technical issues involved in these two bills.

No one testified in opposition to SB247. I hope this summary of testimony helps illustrate the difference between elected and unelected officials. The elected officials take the time to understand the issues, analyze them critically and then make a decision.

Licensed Gun Dealer Charged With Making Unlawful Sales of Firearms, Silencers, and a Machine Gun
Anyone who has fired a .357 Magnum with hot high-recoiling 125 grain loads knows just what we are talking about here; especially true with a 2inch barrel. You will notice the lack of recoil and incredible lack of muzzle flip. Accuracy is scary good due to the control factor thanks to the ergonomics of this revolver’s design and the smooth quick action. Observers noted the last five rounds went slightly over an inch with the first round leaking out giving up a 2-inch group. All six of the high-velocity rounds were fired in 1.39 seconds to demonstrate the lack of muzzle flip and recoil.

Robert John Ronning, 42, of Salida, owner of Ronning Arms Inc. in Modesto, a federal firearms licensee, was arrested today on charges of illegal gun sales, including the unlawful transfers of unregistered silencers and a machine gun.

According to a criminal complaint filed earlier this week, ATF became involved in an investigation of a drug trafficking organization in approximately February 2009. As part of the investigation, quantities of methamphetamine, machine guns, and assault weapons were purchased. It appeared that some of the firearms came from Ronning Arms Inc.

AMMOLAND.COM Following the arrest of the initial targets of this investigation, an undercover agent and others were able to purchase two silencers, seven assault weapons, and a machine gun from Robert Ronning at his place of business, in violation of federal law.
Changes Made To Connecticut Duck Stamp Program SEP 08, 2010 01:58P.M.
U.S. Attorney Wagner said, “Selling guns to unknown individuals, especially those without identification, is a dangerous business. Guns trafficked back to Mexico help fuel the cartels and perpetuate the violence over the border. Licensees who hide behind their licenses to traffic in guns violate the trust that the government bestows upon them.”
Changes Made To Connecticut Duck Stamp Program
“ATF partners with local law enforcement agencies to aggressively pursue firearms traffickers who are diverting firearms from lawful commerce into the hands of violent criminals,” stated Special Agent in Charge Stephen C. Herkins.
Sam Houston Duck Co. Houston, TX --(Ammoland.com)- The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection has announced that the hunting privileges associated with the Connecticut Migratory Bird Conservation Stamp (duck stamp) are changing to a calendar year, January 1 through December 31.
“In this case, the illegal sales of several high-caliber firearms that were earmarked for the black market were purchased and intercepted by an ATF Agent acting in an undercover capacity. This is an excellent example of ATF doing what we do best, preventing criminals from possessing guns.”
To facilitate this change, for the remainder of calendar year 2010 and 2011, the DEP will issue a 2010-2011 Duck Stamp with privileges that begin on July 1, 2010 and end on December 31, 2011.
The maximum statutory penalty is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for unlawfully possessing or transferring a machine gun and 10 years in prison for unlawful transfer, receipt and possession of an unregistered firearm and the related conspiracy. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
Starting in 2012, duck hunting privileges will be for a calendar year, January 1 through December 31. This change is due to legislation passed in April 2010 by the Connecticut State Legislature. The legislation also increased the cost of the Duck Stamp to $13. The Migratory Bird Conservation Fund also has been recreated, meaning that all money collected from the sale of stamps will once again go directly toward wetland conservation projects and improvement of waterfowl hunting access in Connecticut.
Ronning Arms Inc Criminal Complaint This case is the product of an extensive Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force investigation by special agents of the ATF, in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the San Joaquin County Metropolitan Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Jill Thomas is prosecuting the case. The charges are only allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Fieldline’s Backpack With Folding Stool Stands Up To Use And Abuse SEP 08, 2010 01:38P.M. Fieldline’s Backpack With Folding Stool Stands Up To Use And Abuse Makes Comfort And Convenience A Top Priority.
Connecticut Duck Stamp 2010-2011 Over $1.1 million has been raised and spent on wetland habitat conservation in Connecticut since 1993, when the Connecticut Migratory Bird Conservation Stamp Program was initiated. These funds have been provided, in large part, by hunters. A substantial portion of the $1.1 million also was raised through sales to Duck Stamp collectors and to collectors of artistic prints from 1993 to 2002 when the production and sale of prints was discontinued. Hunters 16 years of age or older are required to purchase a Connecticut Duck Stamp every year if they plan to hunt waterfowl in Connecticut. However, anyone who has an interest in wetland and waterfowl conservation can purchase and collect stamps. The stamps feature a different waterfowl species each year.
