AZ Game & Fish to discuss lead ammo & shooting range issues

From an NRA-ILA email alert.

I don't really want to end up in the same boat as CA so I am going to try to go to the meeting (as suggested by the NRA). It is in Phoenix, not sure what good it will do, but maybe we can make our voices heard so they don't screw us the same way as CA.

Commission Discussing Issues Concerning Gun Owners and Hunters!
On Friday, January 18th, 2008, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission
(AZGFC) will be holding a public meeting to discuss issues concerning
gun owners and hunters. Of greatest interest are briefings on shooting
range funding and development (Item #3) as well as general issues
associated with lead from spent ammunition (Item #10). Since last year,
when California passed its unjustified ban on lead ammunition for all
hunting in condor range, the NRA has been keeping a close eye on the
same issue in Arizona. The Grand Canyon State has an experimental
population of condors and some extremists in Arizona are advocating for
a California-style ban! While the Commission agenda does not
specifically mention a potential ban in Item #10, gun owners and hunters
must be vigilant to ensure that this bad public policy does not spread!

Please take the time and attend the AZGFC meeting and make your voice
heard on these important issues. The meeting will be held at the
Arizona Game and Fish Department at 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix,
AZ, beginning at 8:00 a.m. A copy of the agenda can be found on the
Commission's website at
Commission Meeting Agenda.
