Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress… James 1:27a, NIV

Members, I have long been convicted that as a Christian group, we first and foremost should reflect the character of Christ.  As a hunting and fishing fraternity, we should look for ways to support our sports, and introduce others to it.  I discovered a group in Mason that allows us to “look after orphans” and introduce young people to hunting.

I am often asked for recommendations on selling and buying guns.  During a nine-month period, I used Texas Gun Trader and sold eight guns through it.  All eight sales went off perfectly and were pleasant transactions.  Texas Gun Trader does not charge you to run ads with up to four photos.  When you sell your gun and remove the ad, they’ll ask you if you sold it to someone who contacted you via their service.  If you say yes, they’ll ask you for a voluntary donation.  Gun Broker and Guns America charge a lot for their ads, so this is truly a great deal.
