A GREAT IDEA FOR HUNTERS (IN OR OUT OF STATE) AND GUN OWNERS TO HIT COLORADO IN THEIR POCKET BOOK OVER THE EGREGIOUS WAY THEY HAVE TREATED US:
We all know how much money hunters and gun owners contribute to the State of Colorado every year, especially in the form of HUNTING TAGS. Well, how about this year we hit em HARD WHERE IT HURTS MOST - THE POCKETBOOK!
Go ahead and fill out your normal paperwork for your tag and enclose it in the envelope, but DO NOT INCLUDE A CHECK! Instead, send a little (or LONG) note inside letting the state know EXACTLY HOW WE FEEL about the egregious assault on our gun rights by the legislators and the "GOVERNOR."
Some people are saying "well if we don't buy the tags, then out of state hunters will" (giving the state even more money)... Well, guess what? You have a until the day before your season begins to get a refund on the tag(s).. (and if you used points you can refund the money or the points)... So even if we bought the tags JUST TO HOLD THEM here in Colorado, and then get a refund it will have the same effect, and will actually have even MORE EFFECT! Think about how much impact that would have on this situation!!
LET US PLEDGE TO ONE ANOTHER TO DO THIS for one season, THIS SEASON, and show the guys in Denver that WE MEAN BUSINESS, and we will HURT THEIR BUSINESS as a result of the way we have been (and continue to be) treated.. I ask each and every one of you to do the "INCONVENIENT THING" this one year, forego the "big hunt" this ONE TIME, and use this as an opportunity to show Colorado that not only are MAGPUL, THE OUTDOOR CHANNEL, and others pulling out of this (once great) state, but WE THE PEOPLE, THE HUNTERS, and GUN OWNERS are going to do the same!
Another thing to keep in mind is that yes this may impact outfitters here in Colorado (and that is the ONLY downside that I can foresee), but hunters many times have not gotten involved in the gun rights fight because, quite frankly, it "doesn't usually affect their hunting rifles" etc... Well AR-15 owners and others also LOVE OUR HUNTING RIFLES, but we have been "taking most of the lumps" in this battle and maybe it's time some others get involved... Not all hunters but many have sat on the sidelines for FAR TO LONG! We are all going to have to take some hits here in this war, so PLEASE GET ON BOARD....
WE NEED TO FORM A UNITED FRONT ON THIS AND PLEDGE TO DO THIS PLEASE!
Please DO THIS, SHARE THIS and LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO in the State Capitol, your local City Councils, in the Senate, the Sheriffs, The BLM, DOW, and ANYONE WE CAN GET THIS MESSAGE OUT TO..... (may have to "cut and paste to share)...
To all of my brothers and sisters in this fight,
Sincerely,
Derrick S
