SO..I have a suggestion.
To all FBI, CBI, Law Enforcement agencies:
If you think you don't have enough agents to cover ANY venue, you have an army of American Patriots at your ready.
You have a list of millions of Legal Gun Owners in America that would be willing to come and sit on a roof top to deter any would be shooter. We have all been background checked. And any veteran or someone with a concealed carry license has been certified responsible in firearm proficiency. If you don't want us to bring a gun (which you also have a list of) we would be willing to just make a presence as long as we have a radio that can be used in the case of a suspicious person. Heck, we would even bring our own lawn chair!!
If you think you need to vet us (again) you could use the example of Samaritan's Purse disaster volunteers.
I hope this reaches the Powers that Be. No more Excuses!

I think the world (& social media) needs photos of modern sporting rifles being used in positive ways. With a pending vote to ban them and the media portraying them as all bad, let’s show what sane, normal people use them for and why. I have used them, among many reasons, to represent my county in World and National Championships, for hunting to feed my family and to teach people how to safely use a firearm in my classes. If you have thoughts on this, I would love to hear it either way. Have a great day and God Bless this wonderful country we live in and our freedoms!

WIN in COLORADO! A big win for sportsmen and science based wildlife management today in Colorado as SB22-031 which would have banned hunting of mountain lions, bobcats and future hunting of lynx was defeated! In a show of unity and strength organizations and individuals came together at the state's capital to testify their opposition to the bill and their voices were heard. Committee members noted the number of phone calls and emails they received. Today, we all celebrate together.

NEWS: Pennsylvania — Yet another example of trappers volunteering to help conduct studies for wildlife research! Pennsylvania’s furtakers will play a critical role in a study to determine the extent to which mouse and rat poisons might be affecting the state’s bobcats, fishers, and otters.

We all know that trappers are well in tune with the landscape, game and non-game species and often see things first. Messages like this often go unnoticed and unreported by mainstream media. We are proud to support trappers and trappers rights!

https://www.exploreclarion.com/2021/12/22/fisher-bobcat-and-otter-harvests-sought-for-study/

"Hunters and trappers are being asked to participate in the study by submitting carcasses from these species to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Those who harvest a bobcat, fisher, or otter and who want to submit the carcass for the study are asked to contact the Game Commission by email or call the Game Commission region office serving the county where the animal was taken. Those conducting the study hope to collect over 100 carcasses each of bobcats, fishers and otters harvested this season. Submitted carcasses can be skinned, but must have all organs and the skull intact.

Consumption of rodents that have been poisoned, known as secondary exposure, has been shown to negatively impact small- to medium-sized mammals with diets primarily consisting of meat. Better understanding the effects on these species is a critical component of monitoring their populations in the Northeast.

Furtakers’ participation in this study will provide us with valuable data to continue to manage these species appropriately.

Participants in each of those seasons need a furtaker license, as well as a permit to take those species."
