USCCA Statement on Ohio State Attacks

USCCA President Tim Schmidt Offers Condolences to Victims of University Attack

West Bend, WI – United States Concealed Carry Association Founder & President Tim Schmidt has released the following statement regarding today’s attack on the campus of Ohio State University:

“Our thoughts are with the victims of today’s cowardly attack on the campus of Ohio State University and we pray for their quick recovery. We also commend the quick and courageous actions of the armed campus police officer who engaged and neutralized the attacker. As all of us learn more about this latest attack and assess what can be done to prevent future injuries or loss of life, it should not go ignored that the students and faculty affected today were left without the right to protect themselves, since state law prohibits law-abiding citizens from carrying a concealed weapon on campus. While everyone is grateful that a law enforcement officer was quickly on the scene today, that is often not the case, and it is sadly too often that laws like these make innocent citizens in ‘gun-free’ zones the target of those with bad intentions. It’s our hope that lawmakers in Ohio and across the country will reconsider these irrational laws and give law-abiding Americans the opportunity to defend themselves and others.” Read more

Must We Tax Sportsmen’s Clubs?

This from Michigan United Conservation Clubs…

A few weeks ago we asked our members to call your representatives to get a hearing on the Sportsmen’s Club Tax Protection Bill, SB 570 (Sen. Peter MacGregor, R-Rockford). You did, and they listened. On Wednesday, November 30, the House Committee on Tax Policy, chaired by Rep. Jeff Farrington (R-Utica), will hold a committee hearing on the bill. We need you to call your representatives one more time to let them know that you and your club members support SB 570, which will protect charitable sportsmen’s clubs from unexpected and unfair property tax assessments, provided that they meet certain community service requirements.

LockedOn 360 for Ladder Stands and Shooting Houses

Many outdoor products for hunters are marginally useful, but seldom make the difference between success and failure on a hunt.

When a product does make a real-world difference in your chances to bag a trophy, it stands out. This year, the best new difference-making product for deer hunters is the LockedOn 360.

The LockedOn 360 is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use device that provides the most secure rest available for shooting from a stand or permanent blind under real-world hunting conditions. When the moment of truth arrives for a hunter using a LockedOn 360, he has an exceptionally steady, secure rest and the ability to take a shot in any direction and at any angle at a moment’s notice.

It eliminates the need to take a shot from an awkward position, or having to take what amounts to an off-hand shot in a hurry. Read more
