even though this is not Oklahoma related, at least not yet, you might want to be ready. (snowball effect?)
since this is usually about the time of year these tourny's start up around the great state of Oklahoma...i thought some of you might want to see how others might look at these tournaments.
could this be the small step to reflect on what is going on in the news today (your 2A rights!)...hmmmmm i wonder....what about fishing tournaments?? all those poor fish maybe its the voices in my head= this is how "the man" gets his foot in the door

NM legislator introduces bill aimed at outlawing animal killing contests
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS January 31, 2013
SANTA FE, New Mexico A southern New Mexico legislator has introduced a bill that would ban animal killing contests.
Organ Democrat Rep. Nate Cote says a recent coyote-killing contest in central New Mexico caused a public outcry and that such events must stop. He contends the contests are senseless.
His bill would criminalize organizing, causing, sponsoring, arranging or holding an animal killing contest. First-time offenders could face a civil fine of up to $1,000. Subsequent convictions could result in a year in prison and a stiffer fine.
The bill has the support of animal protection advocates.
But the owner of Gunhawk Firearms in Los Lunas, Mark Chavez, tells the Las Cruces Sun-News (http://bit.ly/VYygsW) that the bill is a disguised attack on hunting and gun rights. Chavez held a coyote-killing contest in November that attracted national attention.
