2014 NRA Board elections

Posted by David Hardy · 24 January 2014 10:21 AM

Got my ballot. I know almost all the people involved, but to sum things up briefly:

Directors who I think are absolutely indispensable to the organization:

William Dailey
Charles Cotton
Curtis Jenkins
Patricia Clark
J. William Carter

The first three are firearm attorneys who serve on Legal Affairs Committee (Bill Dailey and Curtis Jenkins also serve on Legislative Policy Committee). Patricia Clark is a competitor who serves on or chairs five committees in that field. Bill Carter serves on committees ranging from competition to law enforcement to finance, and yes, is the son of Harlon Carter.

Directors that I think are very important to the organization:

Bob Viden, John Cushman, David Bennett, Joel Friedman, Allan Cors, Tom Avras, Anthony Colandro, Ken Blackwell, Todd Rathner, (sheriff) Peter J. Printz, Carl Rowan, Roy Innis. Most of these are long-serving, experienced folks and lifelong activists.

Here are Col. Brown's recommendations. They overlap with mine except in one case.

If anyone has their own favorites, comment away!

I agree with the SOF slate. That one case is a problem for me.

Worked with John Cushman many years on NYS Firearms & Ammo Committee. Outstanding, thoughtful man who's also a dedicated conservationist. Excellent public address skills. Loves Mon-zee cheese sticks if you have chance to take him to lunch.

First thing I do with the list is go through and eliminate all Fudds from my possible choices. Firearms owners have been stabbed in the back more times than I care for by that group when it comes to protecting firearm owners rights. If a law doesn't effect hunting usually they could care less if it passes or not.

I would add Tracy Hill to your list, he comes from the NFA side of the house and after the NRA's silent support of the Hughes Amendment in 1986 they could use some help in that area.

It seems no one wants to recommend the Gunney, R.Lee Ermey. I like to see some new blood in there. It is always the old crowd. In order for a new person to get on the board it seems someone has to die first.

I have a hard time supporting one of your "vital" folks who seems to me to be the primary obstacle for passing open carry here in Texas. His attitude toward that subject epitomizes that of the most ignorant gun haters I've encountered, but he also wields significant power in this state.

His arrogance and condescension toward anyone who disagrees with him makes him more than distasteful to me. It's a shame he apparently does so much good for the NRA, as you say, because I'd dump him in a New York minute.

I won't campaign against him, but vote for him? No way.
