vice_president@stemmersrun.org Editorials Our September meeting was cancelled because Tropical
storm Isabel had other plans. Even though most of us had no power in our own
homes a number of our club stalwarts did show up for the meeting. Such hardy
folks as Jay Green, Duke & Ann Frazier, Jim Gilley and Stu found their way
to the range only to discover the obvious: no power, no meeting. As a result, most September meeting minute reports
were not available from the various shooting disciplines so this newsletter
will be brief. Meeting Minutes AGC Report J. Green 410-435-9389 (Jay phoned in the following September AGC meeting report.) ● The Range Safety Orientation Program is still being worked on and should be ready by December. ● The new 2004 AGC club events calendar is being finalized, all member clubs are requested to have range request dates in by November 1st. If you would like Stemmers to host a specific event please present your ideas and a possible date for our upcoming October meeting. ●
The Fall AGC Indoor Pellet Pistol League begins in October and is open to all
club members every Tuesday afternoon at |
in Messick Hall. This represents a good opportunity to sharpen your handgun skills without the expense of bullets. ● The new 2003 version of the AGC By-laws have been completed and passed unanimously by all member clubs. ●The
AGC announced that it will host the 2004 Maryland State Junior Smallbore
Championship. The match is scheduled for ● Hunter sight-in will be every weekend
in October til mid-November at the Benchrest & 100 yd range area. If you or
a friend are going deer hunting this year you'd better
get your weapons properly sighted before you venture afield. Legislative Report Jim Meyer (410) 833-8310 The Center For Disease Control (CDC) released a study last week that states there is no evidence to prove that gun-control laws are effective in preventing violence. No kidding! There has always been substance to the clichι that guns don't kill people, people do. Correlative to that rule is that criminals who use guns to kill usually possess their guns illegally. Laws prohibiting or regulating gun ownership does not deter these serial lawbreakers. |
|
They will continue to obtain and use guns to
commit violent crimes even if the rest of the population of sitting ducks are
disarmed. While the CDC report only cost us taxpayers $400K we don't need any
expensive government study to convince us that gun-control laws don't make
communities safer. When taking away law-abiding citizens right to defend
themselves, it has always been obvious that the only people who become more
safe are criminals who mug, rape, carjack and break into our homes. These same thugs will think twice before they
try to victimize someone who may be packing heat. Nevertheless, we are glad a
federal government agency is substantiating something we've known all along. MD State Assoc Report J. Green 410-433-9389 The Maryland State Rifle & Pistol
Association annual meeting will be held Anyone interested in attending this important

Action Pistol Jim Meyer 410-833-8310 (e-mail from Jim) ● Chambersburg Fun Match is this Sunday October 19th. O.K., boys & girls! It's that time again: time to smell the cordite and Hoppe's #9. This match is similar to an IPSC match. It involves kneeling, sitting and laying on the ground, and possibly getting wet. You need leather, lots of speed loaders, or mags, and about 200 rds of ammo plus a reliable firearm you are proficient with. It involves drawing from the leather, and safety is paramount. All unclassified shooters will be paired with experienced shooters. We will leave from my house, assemble at 0730 and hit the road by 0745. Please call me at 410-833-8310 this week for a head count and directions to the range. Try to make this one & hopefully we'll be back in time for the club meeting.

Shotgun Robin Meyer 410-833-8310 ● The AGC has requested that Stemmers Run help in supply volunteers to assist in running the trap range for a number of upcoming shoots. Stu would like to request that anyone with or without |
trap range experience to pitch-in,
the more experienced members could get you up speed in no time. Please, lets show the AGC that Stemmers Run can do its part. Upcoming Events: Our next club meeting is this Sunday October 19th Note: Don't forget, AGC Life member and past club president
