Cool, 1st he is a performer, not an actor, ( although Chuck Heston and Ronald Reagan were actors ), He is intense, and a no holds barred speaker and defender of the 2nd A, He should have written and performed Tom Petty's " I won't back down ", because that is the way he is, but he is articulate and makes a common sense argument for our cause, with No apology I think this is the true path. If it comes to a vote, you NRA members, and I hope you all are, cast your vote with confidence.
I have met Uncle Ted, 4 times, He is a gentleman, and has a skill of making you seem special, the 1st time I met him, was at the Martin Archery booth at SHOT, like 1994, Shemane was holding Rocko in diapers, behind the table, there was a line of 30 people, when my turn came, he looked at my badge, and said, " Dallas Pistol Club, what is that? A shooting range? " I replied yes, and then He went into a conversation with me, like we knew each other, although there were 20 people behind me, I was thinking of the people behind me, but he just chatted me up. I have never forgotten. I and He were conversing, like we were alone, that is his gift.
One of my friends, ( now deceased ) became a board member of the NRA, and his seat was next to Ted, and He related to me later, that, He did not completely agree with him, but you could not ignore him. He made good arguments. This was a bulls'eye shooter, at that time about 68 years old. ( God rest his sole ), who did not appreciate the tactical sports, until he watched our state championship, which I put on 3 times, and behind our backs described what we were doing to his buddies, and said, " they were hitting the targets too". He went on to do our CCW training for many years. He too was a true gentleman, James Nicholson, at one time the president of the Texas State Rifle Association. A True contributor.
