Why do you have a gun?
I was originally given a gun as a gift. I went out shooting once, and I happened to be naturally good at it. I was 20 at the time. I?ve done sporadic competitive shooting. I have a lot more fun with it?I?m in it more for fun than competing.
What do you say to people who question the value of a private citizen owning a gun?
I think that if there were less guns, there would be less shootings, period. If the government came in and decided to take the guns away, I wouldn?t be mad about it. I think it?s important to be able to feel safe in your home, but you don?t need more than three guns. You don?t need to own a semiautomatic weapon or a silencer.
When mass shootings or school shootings happen?like the one this week?does it ever make you rethink your position?
Going to the Second Amendment, I don?t think they had AK-47s and everything else in mind [when they imagined] the right to bear arms and protecting yourself. At SHOT show, you can kind of see how much it?s evolved into thousands and thousands of people dumping millions and millions of dollars into the industry?. I guess I?d say it?s almost unfortunate people think that they need so much.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes

quote:We were surprised to see an article recently published in a beauty magazine quoting a promotional model and friend of our company, Rochelle Hathaway, who made certain impromptu statements to a reporter during Shot Show.
We were unaware of the interview and we did not condone the interview or the statements made by Rochelle. Rochelle has never been authorized to speak on behalf of our company or its founder, Taran Butler. As of today, we have cut all professional ties with Rochelle. While we respect everyone?s right to free speech, Rochelle?s statements were inappropriate and do not represent our company?s vision and beliefs. We have and will always support Second Amendment rights, and we will continue to educate and promote the safe, legal ownership and handling of firearms.

They simply "un-friended" her on FB.

Apparently, I think they intend to remain friends (no idea about Facebook status, actually) just not doing business together.

We clearly tell the models in our booth as well as the employees there are only 2 people authorized to talk to the media. And In general I don't talk to the media so you better find the other guy....
just exactly how did Glamour magazine get in there?

Me thinks someone from the company is banging Rochelle and that's why she was there as a Rep.
