Thank for the support folks, I'll be talking to and supporting CCFR.
Sorry if I was seen to be picking on you Luc; your clarification in post #18 nails it. Being able to take the firearm of your choice to the field and to have the widest possible selection to choose from is my personal goal as well - that represents the freedom which we all deserve. I just have a very strong opinion that making one example, even one class, of firearm as our cause celebre is wrong headed because this is about us, not our guns.
Better chance of getting more gunnies behind us of we can settle on some strategies that appeal to the broadest number of individuals within our community instead of letting egos and little petty agendas erupt into internal turf wars.
