AZCDL

I became active with AZCDL about one year ago (I will renew my membership at the next show). I have worked the table at two shows in Mesa and one in Phoenix. As John Kennedy said, "let me say this about that".
It took me about one nano-second to realize AZCDL is truly a quality organization and one that is very well organized. How do I know this, you ask? I will make a comparison with another similar organization.
I was a member of the Colorado State Shooting Association for many years. I worked the table many times at Tanner gun shows. It always amazed me how the organization was able to stay afloat. While working the table, most memberships taken were for the NRA and most lip service was for the NRA. It must have been better at one time because they produced a quarterly magazine, which had to be discontinued probably for monetary reasons.
From my experience at the tables, there were two of us who signed up more for the Association than all others. Both of us would move from the back side of the table to the aisle where we could wrestle people to the ground and make them say uncle. We always had a couple of containers of wrapped candy on the tables. I could easily gain the attention and usually a chuckle or two, from females by holding out a container and saying, "candy little girl". It was a good way to start a conversation and, fortunately, male companions didn't deck me.
I agree with Thom. Everyone should be a member of AZCDL and the NRA.
