President’s Column
By G. Martin Capito, Sr. 2 Sept 2016
The nationals are over and ORPA teams were well represented. The next big event coming up is our Annual Meeting. I invite the membership to come out and support the Association with their attendance. All disciplines will be having meetings and this will be your opportunity to come out and voice your opinions directly to the different discipline Directors and other Trustees. The election of trustees will determine who will run your Association for you. If you would like to become a Trustee or Director this will be a good opportunity to start coming to meetings and seeing how we operate.
I hope to see you there. Stay safe and keep all your shots in the black.
Above all, VOTE YOUR GUNS THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!

ORPA General Announcement
Voting in the November 2016 General Election
To All ORPA Member Clubs:
This General Election may be the most critical of our lifetimes.
As a Not-for-Profit organization we may not give our membership specific
directions on how to cast their vote or who to vote for, but we may give you guidelines to
help you decide on your own.
The Trustees, Officers and Directors would like to remind everyone that we need
to vote our sport this year. We thought things were bad for us during the 1993 to 2001
years when we had the anti's passing the worst of several poor laws, but this election
can be far worse for us. Never before have we had so many issues at such different
levels confronting us at once. Between rising crime, government giveaways, illegal
immigration, assaults and other violent personal attacks on our citizens, we need the
lawful ability to protect ourselves and our loved ones. If we lose that, our shooting sports
will be falling quickly after. Personally, if a politician doesn't trust us with our guns, we
have no reason to trust them with our government.
After the death of acclaimed science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein in 1988 the tributes began pouring in. The best one I read was one that stayed with me (although I can't recall who to attribute it to). Heinlein tried to teach his readers three things: Make up your own mind, always.
Think it through before you make up your mind, always. Get the facts before you think it through, always.
Those words are the best advice I can give before you vote this year. Please choose carefully.
The candidates may be polished or rough but the best indication of how they will treat
your Second Amendment rights is by looking at their records and who endorses them.
Be sure to vote this year. If you are registered and don't vote, it's a free ride for those
who oppose us.
Sincerely, G. Martin Capito Sr. President Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association

PROPOSED CHANGES TO CODE OF REGULATIONS
1. To remove from Article II, the wording: “to promote and
encourage favorable legislation for the establishment and maintenance of suitable ranges”
2. To change Article VII Section C to read: “interest from the LMRF shall be distributed as follows: (1) 75% to the general operating fund and (2) 25% shall remain in the LMRF, to help in providing membership services for Life Members.”
These proposed are to allow the Association to be in compliance with IRS regulations for a 501c(3) charitable organization. These two (2) changes will be voted on at the Annual meeting Sunday, November 13, 2016.

years ago.

The Trustees of the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association have, in the
interest of fiscal responsibility, voted to discontinue individual hard
copy publication and delivery of the “Gunsmoke” newsletter.
The last issue to be individually delivered will be the April/May
2017 issue. Members who wish to continue to receive this informative
and enlightened publication may do so electronically. To facilitate this
needed cost saving measure members will have until the April/May
2017 issue to contact [email protected] or [email protected]
to provide a current e-mail address to receive the “Gunsmoke”
electronically. Members currently receiving the electronic “Gunsmoke”
need take no additional action.
This change will result in a great saving to the Association and
allows funds to be channeled to important programs such as our Junior
shooting teams.
There will be one annual hard copy newsletter to provide for
shooting schedules and distribution of sweepstakes tickets to support
the Junior programs. Based on response there may be an added cost
option (to be determined) to continue to have a “hard copy”
“Gunsmoke” individually delivered.
