One correction - my father (Bob Hickle) isn't a triple threat... :) He is most definately NOT a catholic!!!! He is Methodist... But I appreciate everyone's most positive reaction to his decision. Unfortunately, the local Unions, who make up a good deal of his business at the SPORTING CLAY range (LOL- the trap field isn't even in yet) will likely not be as supportive as they have over the past year. I would invite you all to visit his website http://www.islandcreeksc.com or even e-mail him in support (you can find his e-mail address on the About the Owner section of the website) Also - we are looking for lots of local support for an event we are having September 25th - The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Shoot - to benefit the children of servicemembers killed in the line of duty. The page about the Shoot is http://www.islandcreeksc.com/events.htm

Thanks so much for this great thread - it has lifted my heart.

Maybe the union muckety-mucks won't be as supportive, but I would lay bets that the rank and file will be supportive, or neutral at worst.

I know several union men who grudgingly vote Democratic based on who's going to best keep their rice bowl filled-- but who, culturally speaking, would otherwise be strong Republicans. I am sure they exist up there too.
