Dean- I guess I interpreted the membership numbers incorrectly. My PGCA card shows my enlistment date as 1 May/2009-- number is 3097. As a year (almost) has gone past since I formally joined up, I just assumed more folks had joined PGCA and had 'topped out' over 4000-and growing.
So much for the old "weigh of numbers" theorm. But I'll still betcha a 5th of Bushmills that if you total up the Smithians, Foxiests and those Lee Fever laddies, we got 'em outnumbered, heck, maybe even surrounded.
Might be interesting at some future time to do a PGCA poll- cross-referencing our paid membership to that in any of the other double gun assns. I'll guess at least 25% of our members also belong to at least one other such organization. Any also many, like myself, are also NRA members.
I sincerly hope that at all the many shooting venues- Addieville, Friendship, The Southern, Da Yooper, Puglisi's and the Vintagers, and others I have omitted without prejudice, besides the "friendly?" rivalry, we ALL keep in mind the need for unity- there are others extant who are anti-guns and gunning, and not just the anti-EBR crowd- The more we work well together the stronger our defense against those who would make a shambles of the Second Amendment!!
You are a "Lifer"- maybe someday- me too!!
