    Default Need PMSC/PAFOA members at 2/6 meeting - full auto shoot vote

    Full-auto shooting is not permitted at PMSC. About twice a year, there is a demonstration put on by several of our machine gunners and the membership votes to suspend the rule for those given events.

    FullAuto223, as many of you know, is a regular participant in the group shoots. He generously provided his .50 BMG and $100 in ammo for the August shoot. What a great time!

    FA collects and shoots class 3 and NFA firearms. Supressors, full auto, select fire and the like. I have made a deal with him that, if he joins PMSC at the 2/6 7:00PM meeting, that I will get permission to have a full-auto demonstration at the 3/9 group shoot. The shoot would go like this: regular group shoot from 9AM-1PM. Shoot closes at 1PM and we all head down to the lower bays (where we shot the .50's in September). The full-auto shoot will be from 1:00 until 3:00, or all ammo is expended. IF Fullauto223 decides to let anyone else shoot his guns at full-auto, that person also must be a PMSC member. Membership cards must be provided to the RO's prior to any shooting.

    I NEED YOUR HELP. I need all the PAFOA members who belong to PMSC to come to the 2/6 meeting. Vote for the exception to the rules. Voice your support of the full-auto demonstration. We are the membership. Stand up and be counted.

    This will be a great shoot if we can get it approved. How often will most of us get to see a full-auto demo? These guns cost between $3K-$20K each!

    Get your butt to the meeting 7:00 on 2/6 and support the exception!

    You would not be able to vote, but your voice will still be heard as loud as anyone elses. Your voice might be heard even louder. "I am here to join this club because of the PAFOA shoots and I heard that there was going to be a full-auto shoot at the 3-9 group shoot".

    That message plays louder than anything I can say!

    ETA, for all the guys who can't vote yet, please still come to the meeting. Your voices will be heard loud and clear. We are the future of the club and will be heard.

    Yes, in order to "officially vote" you need to be a member for a year. Don't think about that, though. The reason that the membership will approve the exception is because:

    PAFOA shoots bring in members to PMSC.

    If we have 25 PAFOA guys at the meeting, that will illustrate that point better than anything I can say.

    I'd tell you to start packing your bags, but you may need to be a member to do the shooting... perhaps if we speak to the directors, we could get you a "pass" on that?

    After all, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be a PAFOA group shoot happening there every month.
