I don't usually rant but I received an email that kind of upset me and I'd like to know how others may feel about this. I've been known to do fundraisers in my area, Safari Club-Ducks Unlimited..Happily donating a knife for the cause and making some sales. this year was my 21st year of donating to the Safari Club.
So I get an email from my home town ducks unlimited asking if I would attend, attached is the flyer. this is where it got ugly {in my opinion} in exclamation they pronounce that this year the venue "HAS OUR BACKS" yes, this year the venue will have "our backs" by having security at the show, there will also be security at the door with metal detectors, so please leave any firearms, concealed weapons and KNIVES at home or in your car. HUH?
This is where I believe someone should slide a big soap box under my steel toed boots and let me cut loose, but no... I regress, maybe Ducks Unlimited was already booked into this place and the venue just started this rule, but I wear a belt knife everyday and wear one to every show I do, I also carry a concealed handgun everywhere I go, I just can't bring myself to do this show, so I will bow out politely. I just can't believe this, their raffling guns off here. and the way they made it a point that they "had our backs" this year with security and metal detectors was over the top, the only one that "has my back" at a fundraiser is my wife, sitting next to me. I'd like to hear how others would respond to this, maybe it's just me,but I cannot do this show........end of rant.
