How often are the meetings? I won't be in the country for this one but I wouldn't mind sitting in one to see what's in the news.

Mississippi State Firearm Owners Association. The NRA Association for Mississippi.

The organiation sponsors State Championship Matches, NRA and CMP training programs, sponsors Junior Teams to National Championship Events, has a newsletter on 2nd Ammendment issues published by the Vice President Jeff Pittman. Has met this year with officials in charge of writing the MS Enhanced Firearms Permit Training, to help change the training that was first brought forth by the MS DPS.

There is a website but our Secretary, Debbie Withers is seriously ill. She has not been able to updtae the website lately. We need a new webmaster if anyone wants the job.

MSFOA -- Does great work with the youth ... If nothing else, they could use your support of the mere $15.00 yearly membership dues.

We all need to do something to support our youth shooters in the state ..... if you can not give of your time - give them $15.00!! I do!!

It is very important that we get as many firearm owners as possible who live in MS to join the State Association. A large membership, along with the NRA's backing, gives the Association enormous political clout. If the Association can go to legislators and say that our x1,000 members support this / oppose that, they will listen. Even if you can't make the meeting, please join!

The MSFOA helped sponsor the Southwest Gun Club's Junior Olympic Progressive Pistol Team, to Anniston, Alabama last year. The following awards were won

Thomas Ricks National Champion

Garret Rayborn 5th Place

Jay Raymond 9th place

All 3 of the above won the 1st Place National Team Championship

Myles Sinagra won 2nd Place supported

Wallace Smith won 4th Place

Jeff Rayborn won 5th Place

The boys above won 2nd place in the supported division in the National Championship

The Southwest Gun Club and the MSFOA should be proud of the accomplishments of these young people as should all Citizens of Mississippi.

Your membership will help or organizations field these youngster in future National events.

Do not use that application. Debbie Withers is seriously ill and the address may delay things. Send applications to:

MSFOA
PO Box 2486
Madison, MS 39130

Anyone that sent their dues to the address on the website, I will try to have them forwarded to our Treasurer. Debbie also has been the webmaster for our website. This is an unfortunate situation but we probably won't solve it until the annual meeting on 2/25/12

I posted this under its own thread, but would like to post it here as well:
I will be placing my name in the running for the position of Secretary of the Mississippi State Firearm Owners’ Association. I believe with the assistance of the current leadership I can serve the state’s firearm owners in this capacity.
I have been active in hunting and in the shooting sports since I received my first shotgun at the age of 10. Among my qualifications:
NRA Life member since 1992
Life Member of Southwest Gun Club, McComb since 1998. My son and I are very active in the rifle programs of the SW Gun Club.
Executive Officer and Director of Rifle Programs for Southwest Gun Club since 2006
In addition I am active on the local and state levels in educating and advocating for firearm owners’ rights and Second Amendment issues on a national level. I invite you to speak to members of the SW Gun Club and ask them about my involvement with the club.
I respectfully ask for your support at the upcoming State Association Meeting which will take place at Bass Pro Shops in Pearl, MS on February 25, 2012, at 2:00pm.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely
Phillip Zinke
