Our "vision" statement

seems like everyone needs a definition of who you are/ what you believe in this "social" world, this is what we came up with...what do you think?:

We are parents and neighbors who don't believe in being a helpless victim of a violent crime. We don't condone illegal acts committed with guns, which, by definition are "illegal." We carry firearms to prevent violence to ourselves and our families.

Legal gun owners are sticklers for personal responsibility. We don't believe in "accidental" discharges or allowing firearms access to unsupervised children.

Whenever there are talks of gun restrictions or bans of guns/ magazines in the news, thousands of new gun owners and shooters join the hobby. We welcome them with open arms, but we firmly believe that with ownership comes the personal responsibility to learn the safe operation and storage of your firearms. We have professional, certified trainers and experts who are willing to help new shooters for minimal cost (if any). If you need a gun lock, we can help there also.

We encourage people to train with their firearms as often as possible, we have several large training events a year and we have several different types of training available from beginning to advanced. We have dedicated female trainers for the ladies if desired.

Despite what you hear on the news, AR-15s are not "assault weapons" and they don't use "clips." They are not machine guns and you cannot buy one from a dealer at a gunshow without a background check.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't have anything to do with hunting. We think if you can legally own a firearm, you should be able to own as many of as many kinds of guns as you want.

We have over 18,000 members on our forum who would be more than willing to share experience and opinions. Please consider joining us at www.carolinashootersclub.com

You have a lot of facts. I think you need more flash in this.

Let me think on it. The focus on training is deep, I agree but many aspects of our culture is missed. IE

Competition
Hunting
Collecting
Heritage

I think a focus on the culture of the Carolinas with the family heritage spands all groups of people.

Just an idea

I like where John is going on this. Of course the 2nd doesn't have anything to do with hunting, but it also doesn't have anything to do with plain ole self defense. It's protection from government, to keep arms in defense from a tyrannical government.

We need a way to span out and include everyone, without making anyone butthurt in the gun community, the hunters, hoarders, competitors, heritage, ect. It seems like a shot at hunters by just singling out it has nothing to do with hunting, when in reality it has nothing to do with anything posted. These may be all reasons for having guns, but not why our founders protected the right.

I'm more for something starting along the lines of.........................................

Citizens have the right to bear arms, and we support doing any legal activity with them at CSC, to include

Competition
Hunting
Collecting
Heritage
Self Defense
Ect ect ect................................................

Then go into the real reason of the Second Amendment.

Another suggestion:
The 2nd Amendment doesn't have anything to do with hunting. or sport shooting.
That's the other red herring "I-support-the-Second-Amendment-but" politicians *always* throw out there.
