SAF Submits Amicus Brief in NC Gun Range Case

BELLEVUE, WA – The North Carolina Supreme Court today accepted an amicus brief from the Second Amendment Foundation in a case that challenges the ability of a county ordinance to completely prohibit the construction and operation of shooting ranges, thus preventing the exercise of protected Second Amendment activities inside the county.

The case, Byrd v. Franklin County, revolves around the county’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The state Court of Appeals has interpreted the UDO to “prohibit entirely” the development of shooting ranges in the county. SAF’s amicus curiae brief challenges that interpretation on Second Amendment grounds.

“This is an important issue to the foundation,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “because we had to sue the City of Chicago to overturn their law prohibiting the operation of shooting ranges inside the city limits, while requiring training at a range facility in order to obtain a city handgun permit.

“We believe this judicial interpretation creates an impermissible infringement on the Second Amendment rights of Franklin County residents,” he added. Read more

Turkey Season Ends Quickly with Winchester Long Beard XR Chokes From Trulock

To be sure, turkey hunting is an end in itself. You begin by creeping out into the woods or the edge of a field well before sunrise, close to where you put that big tom to bed the night before. You watch the world wake up and listen while some of the night’s marauders such as screech owls make their final calls before the avian day shift takes over. Amidst it all comes the gobble, then another, and perhaps that sound of wings flapping and a big bird thumping to earth to start it’s day of foraging food and looking for hens. You make some hen sounds, and before you know it, here he comes, right to your decoys.

Within minutes, he’s there, within 25 yards, and it’s time for the moment of truth. When you squeeze the trigger, you want as many pellets from your 12 gauge to hit that turkey and harvest him cleanly. That’s where the Winchester Long Beard XR Chokes from Trulock come into play.

After extensive and thorough testing, the Trulock Choke designers determined the perfect constriction to deliver maximum pellets at common ranges for taking a turkey. The Winchester Long Beard XR No. 5 is made for that popular turkey pellet size with a .75 constriction; hunters who prefer No. 6 should try the Winchester Long Beard XR No. 6, which has a .80 constriction.
