Hopefully she would have enough class to decline such an invitation.

She's a member of the Arlington-Fairfax Izaak Walton League, as am I. While I don't know her, it sure felt good seeing it in the news yesterday. Somebody we can all be proud of.

I've been following the West Virginia University Rifle team on Facebook. I would encourage everyone to follow them as a show of support for the shooting sports.

Quite an accomplishment for ANY shooter! Takes a huge personal effort/sacrifice to reach Olympic level shooting, and then even more to win gold!

Didn't take long for the left to savage her:

Britain, will you please take back this MORON! :evil: :evil: :evil:
