What Am I? Chopped Liver?

As a sport shooter in International Handgun Metallic Silhouette (IHMSA for short), I will we watching the developments happening at the NSSF summit very carefully.  Bitter has some details which indicate NSSF may be considering recommendations that would marginalize handgun shooters.  I will have more to say about this later, but suffice it to say, I think this would be a significantly stupid move on the industry’s part.

I don’t think there’s anything illegitimate about the handgun shooting sports.  To the extent that there’s a poor public perception of handguns out there, that’s something that our sports can help overcome.  IHMSA, Bullseye, NRA Handgun Silhouette shooters, IPSC, and IDPA shooters are all engaging in legitimate recreational activities with handguns.  Let’s dispell the myths.  Sweeping handgun shooters under the rug and hoping no one notices seems to be to be the exact opposite of what we should be doing.
