Is there a national organization of state gun groups who are politically active?
If not, there should be.
If you do have a state gun organization, what is its name and how often does your gun group meet and discuss tactics to overcome oppressive gun regulations in your cities, counties and state through the legislative process?
How often to you sit down with CCers, OCers, hunters, legislators and candidates in one room to discuss gun issues in your city, county and state?
We do it every month at our Idaho Carry dinner meetings at Fuddruckers and last night we had 112 in attendance with our Deputy Attorney General, 2 state representatives and several candidates. We are changing hearts and minds in Idaho.
I’m a Washington DC transplant. Born and raised there for 21 years and then stayed in California for 30 years before moving back to DC where I spent the last 15 years living under the oppression of a totally anti-gun DC government.
I moved to Idaho and discovered that there were no statewide Idaho gun organizations other than the NRA and GOA and neither of those groups were actively addressing the increasing anti-gun policies being introduced in our cities and counties.
I started Idaho Carry Open & Concealed 2 years ago and we now have members in every county and city in Idaho, and we are gearing up our www.2ndAmendment2014.com site to identify our pro-gun candidates in state races.
Although half of our members Conceal Carry, we do have OC members who are little on the fringe side and see no problem walking down the street in rural areas with an AR15 on their back. We have in depth, heavy discussions about those practices in Idaho and over time, we have been able to persuade most of them that it is more important to win someone’s heart and mind to OC, and that can best be accomplished best by OCing a handgun while sharply dressed, displaying a friendly demeanor and engaging in pro-gun conversations with those who address you.
From what I've read recently, it appears that there are some who think that addressing the all out assault by anti-gun groups can best be addressed severally without including all 2nd Amendment friendly groups in a state, not recognizing that we can better influence our elected officials with a broader organization.
Here is a link to photos from our 2nd Amendment Rally at our Capitol last winter. We will be holding another this January. It is this kind of rally organized by CCers & OCers and hunters that will bring unity.

I am also working with the paralegal from Idaho AG's office to obtain reciprocity from about 25 states that are holding out. That is one of the reasons I would like to solicit from those here, the contact information for large state gun groups. We want to engage them in the reciprocity process if they are willing.
