Three Items of Note:
    1. The Truth About Guns in Mexico
    2. Range Protection: Don't let noise open the door
    3. First Responders: Are you a Volunteer Security Guard?

*The truth About Mexican Crime Guns*

    The often repeated statistic that 90% to 95% of guns seized in
Mexico are traced back to the U.S. is an outrageous distortion.  The
actual statistic is more like 17% and even that might be exaggerated...

*Range Protection: The Noisy Wheel Gets the Shaft*

        (April 2, 2009) Range protection is a hot topic these days and
it's becoming more important every day.  Urban sprawl continues to
envelope ranges and traditional shooting areas, pushing shooters farther
and farther out to engage in their sport and training.  Developers build
houses closer and closer to established ranges and soon the new
residents are complaining about the noise.  While much of the emphasis
in range protection has been focused on passing laws shielding ranges

*VSGAA Back on Track*
       Last year we launched a new organization called the Volunteer
Security Guard Association of America.  Unfortunately we got backed up
with the election and other matters and the VSGAA languished in limbo...
Until now.  We're finally moving forward with our plans for a group
dedicated to the idea of armed citizens as first responders.  The first
membership certificates and cards went out in the mail last week and
we're ready to begin recruiting new members.
       You know that America's first line of defense against criminals,
terrorists, and other threats is the armed citizen.  You know that
America's last line of defense against criminals, terrorists, invasion,
and tyrants is the armed citizen.  The media was quick to label Jeanne
Assam as a "volunteer security guard" when she successfully defended her
fellow church members from a murderous assault.  If the media wants to
call armed citizens "volunteer security guards," we'll play along.  Join
VSGAA today.  Visit http://www.VSGAA.org
