I may be oversimplifying what Fishing Cabin is stating, but my read on the whole thing, sheepdog/first responder/volunteerism all comes full circle when I think on my Boy Scout meetings all those years ago.

A Scout is Helpful.

Do a good turn daily.

No need to go wading in to stop a shootout to be a good guy.

Having people associated with RKBA out in the community doing helpful things that have no bearing at all on the 2nd Amendment will do more to help our cause than any phone call, letter, or open carry rally.

My Fraternity did a multitude of things in our local community, adopted a chunk of highway, adopted an elementary school where we helped install new play ground equipment and read to the kids(want a laugh, imagine a bunch of frat boys dressed up like Mike Mulligan), volunteered with the local Cub Pack, etc. All of those things we did because they were both the right thing to do and made our Fraternity look good.

Pro gun orgs- should consider the same.

Great post, FishingCabin.
