Hi all - if interested, the organizing committee is meeting Thursday night (24th) in Chandler at 7:30 - same spot where our banquet will be in June: Windmill Suites at Chandler Fashion Square 3535 W. Chandler Boulevard Chandler, AZ 85226

Hi all - sorry for the delay; we've been trying to coordinate schedules. If anyone would like to be on "The Committee", we are meeting at the banquet location this Thursday night to start the planning process. It will be in Chandler at 7:30 PM. Please send me an email at 3rca_AT_cox.net and I will get the info to you. (replace _AT_ with @) Also, if you would just like to be a member but not serve on the committee you can still e-mail me at the address above, regarding membership to the MDF

Was in a spot in 37B that was full of pigs last year - no fresh sign today though.

Very cool! Congratulations

Bump - banquet set for June in Chandler. Now we need to start amassing our army of members and volunteers

Out of respect for Amanda's site, I'm done responding to you. Every time you type something, you reinforce my point. The ones speaking the loudest on behalf of gun rights aren't always the best ones to be delivering the message.

Really? Wow. I was talking about the resolve to make the same intellectual arguments over and over, to people who were making emotional and visceral statements. not my resolve on gun rights. Frankly, it is spokespeople like yourself that are weakening "our side" because you come across as a ranting buffoon, not an educated, rational proponent of fiirearms ownership. As far as what I have done in my life, or would/could do in any given situation, you don't know that about me any more than I know it about you. Again, your ignorance is showing.

Since we're referencing a lot of scripture, here's some sage advice from my pastor: http://www.mission68.org/mission-blog/gun-control-christianity-and-civil-discourse/

Funny - I was thinking that too. I'm a pretty staunch 2nd Amendment guy but every time one of these happens, it take a little bit of my resolve away...

I was thinking the same thing. Little children - kindergarteners.

Hi all - I couldn't make the September meeting. Any activity?

No, I don't think so Candidate Popular vote Percentage Electoral votes (270 to win) Barack Obama 60591934 50% 303 Mitt Romney 57768236 48% 206

It's disheartening to look at the map and see the center of the country all one color, and the ends another color. That being said, keep in mind that (if I understand it all correctly) if you go by popular vote, be prepared to have every election decided by voters in LA, New York City, Chicago, etc., and the electorate in smaller states and/or more rural states will be even further minimized. I think the electoral college system may need to be tweaked or adjusted, but not done away with altogether.

I was at PetCo in Queen Creek this past weekend and one of the local pounds/agencies was having an event. One of the dogs was a GSP. Not sure if he/she was purebred, but it sure looked it.... looked like a few months old

Ended up with 3 chicks that we didn't want. 2 girls and a boy I think. Clearly they can't be caged together. Must go to good homes. Preferably experience with birds and need to be set up with cage, feed, etc. One, two or all 3. These are about 4-5 weeks old. Ready to go. Since they're about 6 bucks each at the pet store, I can't deliver. You can pick up in Queen Creek. Adults are cute, sing pretty, etc.

We have another great meeting planned for October! This month we welcome the Central Arizona Mountain Rescue Team. They are the search and rescue team from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Dept. This meeting is for everyone who loves the outdoors. Whether you hike, bike, camp, fish or hunt- whatever you love to do outdoors, BE PREPARED!. CAMR will show us how to prevent getting into dangerous situations and how to react if you do find yourself in trouble. Education is the key to having fun and being prepared to fully enjoy your outdoor adventure! The meeting will begin at 7pm on Oct 18th. We are meeting at Gateway Fellowship. located at 60 N. Recker Rd, Gilbert 85234. (northwest corner of Recker & Elliot)

Looking for a gunsmith, preferably on the east side - to install a muzzle brake. Any recommendations?

jmwarren - nice story. My tag went unfilled too, which is not unusual for me. This one stung though. I also had work and home commitments offering challenges. Lots of friends pitched in, and I learned a ton. I was feeling pretty down yesterday about it all, but your post reminded me to focus on the positives.

Didn't let me down at all Terry! Burned your own fuel and hours to help out. I learned a ton, had fun and am already hoping I get another crack at it some day! Folks - I am not a trophy hunter by any stretch, but I just felt those little fellers deserved a pass for this year. I told Terry "above the ears" and that's what we stuck to!

tlh and I bombed around quite a bit Friday and Saturday. I went back out again Tuesday. Then back to work and now I have one day left - Sunday, back out with tlh Congrats on a nice buck! We saw a few hunters too, but not to the extent you did!

Endangered Black Tail Prairie Dog? You sure? http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/species/mammals/btprairiedog/ You aren't thinking of the Black Footed Ferret?
