The IDPA ” Style” Shooting Competition on Saturday went well according to BRGAC Events Coordinator, Jeff Geer.
It was a shooting match involving time and accuracy while drawing from concealment and firing from “cover”.
It was designed to be a “urban combat” simulation with defensive and offensive strategies to shoot at multiple targets, with many other elements involved including rapid fire and reloading.

The top 3 finishers were:
1st – Jay Boyd (Total time: 53.32 seconds)
2nd – Robert Tyner (Total time: 59.06 seconds)
3rd – Doyle Fain (Total time: 67.54 seconds)

On Monday, May 6th, two pro-gun bills were finally passed in the Texas Legislature, and headed to Governor Perry.

SB 864 by Senator Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels), will reduce the number of hours for a concealed handgun license to “not less than four or more than six” and will not include time on the shooting range or the range proficiency exam.

SB 299 by Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), adds a more clear meaning in Texas law for “intentional failure to conceal” by a licensee.

As more Pro-Gun legislation news happens, we will post it here…

URGENT – Call Your Senators Now!

Today, starting at 4 p.m., the U.S. Senate will be voting on several measures that would affect the firearms and ammunition industry. Please call your senators NOW and tell them to vote with the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s position on today’s amendments. Our positions are:

OPPOSE Manchin-Toomey amendment #715; DEFEATED DEFEATED DEFEATED
The Manchin-Toomey amendment would expand background checks, unfairly prioritize background checks at gun shows over checks at storefront retailers and expose retailers to product liability and record-keeping issues when processing private party transfers.

SUPPORT Grassley_Cruz substitute amendment;
The Grassley amendment offers real solutions by Fixing NICS and improving current law, without an expansion of background checks that would punish retailers and infringe on the Second Amendment.

SUPPORT Cornyn amendment #719
The Cornyn amendment would guarantee the rights of gun owners to carry concealed firearms across state lines and within other states that also have conceal-carry laws.

OPPOSE Feinstein amendment #711
The Feinstein amendment would bring back an expanded ban on so-called “assault weapons.” History shows that banning firearms and imposing arbitrary limits on the size of magazines will not reduce crime.

SUPPORT Burr amendment #720
The Burr amendment would require a judicial authority to determine that an individual poses a danger to themselves or others before VA may send their names to be listed in the FBI’s NICS as a prohibited person.

OPPOSE Lautenberg-Blumenthal amendment #714
The Lautenberg-Blumenthal amendment would impose an arbritrary 10 round limit on ammunition magazine capacity. The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban banned magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and did nothing to curb gun violence.

SUPPORT Barrasso amendment #717
The Barrasso amendment would help protect the privacy of law-abiding gun owners by withholding federal funds from any state or local government that releases private gun ownership data, outside of criminal investigations.

Now is the time to call your U.S. senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to support your Second Amendment rights and jobs in your state!
