The Gadfly On The St. Louis Wall

St. Louis, Missouri ~ It is of considerable delight to me that the liberal gun-grabbers here will be hiding behind their doors this week as I'm joined by 60,000 or so other 2nd Amendment supporters who will gather for the National Rifle Association's annual get-together.

I'm here to join former Oklahoma City broadcaster Cam Edwards, host of the NRA's Internet/Sirius Satellite Radio show, and former Oklahoma City television reporter Ginny Simone of NRA News, as we air 18 hours or so of live coverage of the event. (And I'll no doubt encounter Blackwell native and longtime friend Joe Allbaugh, former FEMA director, a member of the NRA Board of Directors.)

I was surprised at last year's event, in Milwaukee, at the number of Oklahomans who showed up; I suspect there may be more in St. Louis.

This event originally was scheduled for Columbus, Ohio, but the city fathers there adopted an anti-gun ordinance and the NRA powers-that-be said "rain on you" and moved their huge event to this more-friendly city.

If you're among those who will be in St. Louis, look me up at the NRA broadcast booth. If not and you want to partake of the event via the Internet, go to www.NRA.org or catch us on Sirius Patriot Channel 144 on Wednesday from 8-11 p.m. CDT, Thursday Noon-3 p.m., Friday Noon to 3 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and 8-11 p.m.
