Mike Weinberger has done more for the second amendment in Louisiana in the past year than the LSA and NRA has done in the past decade. He understands how the legislative processes really work, and his HDF group is the kind of grassroots organization that we'll need to counter the onslaught of Bloomberg's dollars.
As for his newbie gun advice: .22 caliber guns have been an effective self-defense weapon since the cartridge was introduced in the 1850's, and I don't see a line of people volunteering to get shot by one. Yes, a 12 gauge shell or a 9mm defense round will probably do more damage, but that's assuming that one has these weapons at the ready, and the training to effectively use them. For an otherwise defenseless person, having a Ruger Charger (and the knowledge and confidence to use it) could mean the difference between life and death.
Mike deserves nothing by our support.
