Wear an NRA T shirt

I was disqualified from jury duty when the defendants lawyer asked if anyone in the jury pool was a NRA member.

All who raised their hands were dismissed.

I protested to the judge that I wanted to do my civic duty and she told me that she was sorry and had to let me go.

I have been called to jury duty 3 times in 10 years in Seattle Washington and have been dismissed for this reason. It's not right!

The NRA doesn't distribute its member lists. If the question comes up, I have no problems fibbing about it.

I've only been called once, didn't have to serve - no cases on the docket that day.

"Your Honor -- speaking strictly hypothetically, mind you -- if someone is a member of GOA because he thinks the NRA is too wishy-washy, should he raise his hand or not at this point?"

That sounds like a good one to use. Not only would you be excused, but the rest of the room might get excused also for being influenced by your shirt.
