Dick, LC Smith & Hunter arms have been around a lot longer than the LCSCA, looks like they did a pretty good job promoting themselves. I run a business and as I was taught at a very early age this saying.... if you don't like my product tell 100 people, if you do like it tell 1 person. My family & myself have been involved with SXS guns for generations and it wasn't till just a few years ago that I learned about the LCSCA and joined. On the other side of the coin I think it's a wonderful organization and love what it stands for. Once again I didn't write the rules about who can use what on this site, I just voiced my opinion, and isn't that what makes the world go around ?
