    There are many fine gentlemen. I remember Paul was supposed to be the anti establishment person. He went along to get along. If I am missing something please correct me. Did he vote to give himself a free gun when it was his turn.

    Do you get in the HOF for being an ATA President?
    What else was so great? I am listening.

    Another Attorney that talked a good game. He got his free gun. He was quoted recently about the changes he wants to make in the ATA again. Again.....

    He wants another chance. Another free 20k gun?

    Are Paul's shooting accomplishments the reason?

    For sure he has earned it with his shooting awards and competing in more clubs than anyone goes to.

    For sure Terry. AND he was not allowed to cross the US border from Canada during his term.

    Responding just to clear facts....was he an Executive Committee member before he was President? He was also a member of the Board of Directors before he was a member of the Executive Committee? Is that right? He was at the level to make many changes other than voting to give themselves free guns.

    I can't challenge his shooting ability or dedication to buying targets.

    I would tho like to politely ask why he wasn't able to bring about changes before being a President. Imagine all those years as EC and BOD?

    I think they had zoom meetings during Covid.

    Thanks in advance.

    Personally, I hoped the ATA would give him an additional year (post Covid) to serve his term as ATA president. Obviously, that didn’t happen.
