Gun owners are slowly uniting to become more educated and fight bad legislation. This is also what we must do if we want to keep going offroad. It dont matter if you have big iron, 2 wheels or 4... this must be done. Its not fun and I wud rather be doing something else sides calling my Senator about riding offroad. But, If we dont.... we aint gonna be able to ride offroad. Dont believe me ? Just remember what happened to us this month because we didnt represent ourselves to Texas government... now we cant even cross 30 ft. wide rivers or ride on iys banks.
Here is what gun owners and Offroaders alike must do... all of us.

Live In New York State? Thursday, January 29, 2003
The Governor has proposed a serious change to the laws regarding NY state pistol permits. This is a real threat.

In addition to some obnoxious new fees, this bill would cause your permit to expire every five years, and would allow local governments to impose any fee they desire on permit renewals and amendments.

This means that any county judge can simply decline to renew your permit, and it's gone. It also means that the local town government can decide to impose, say, a $1000 fee every time you want to add a new gun to your permit, or when your renewal comes up. Think I'm kidding? This is what they did to the Federal Firearms Licenses (the FFLs), and they did it expressly with the purpose of reducing the number of people who could afford to hold them.

This is a serious back-door gun ban. Get off your ***, right now, and call your representitive in the state senate. If we don't stop it in the senate, it won't be stopped. Remember, the Governor proposed it himself.

Click here, and enter your address down near the bottom of the page; it will tell you who your representive in the state senate is, and what phone number to use to reach them. Call - do not use email! They have the same spam problems we do, and email messages are often discarded unread. Tell them that you are opposed to the part of the Governor's budget that amends Section 400.00 of the Penal Law to impose fees on pistol permits.

Local reps often do listen, and a few dozen phone calls really can change their behavior. Do this now.

Note: Remember, you want to talk to your representive to the state senate, not the federal senate. Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer are not going to help us here!
