Houston, TX –-(Ammoland.com)- At the Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) reception thsi weekend, Charles Heller, Executive Director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), presented Emily Miller, reporter for the Washington Times, with the David and Goliath award for her outstanding reporting on the byzantine 17 step process that it takes to legally obtain a handgun in Washington, D. C.
The award was last presented to Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars and David Codrea of Gun Rights Examiner for their reporting of the Fast and Furious scandal.
Both the insanity of the Washington, D.C. gun laws and the Fast and Furious scandal have been more obscured by the old media than exposed.
This years award is, appropriately, inscribed on a stone tablet, with a noticeable divot in Goliaths forehead.

Rob, even better would be zero “permits” or “licenses” for anything, anywhere in the country.
Why settle for just a little less slavery?
Just what do you need a driver’s “license” for anyway?
YAY Emily!!!
Contradulations Emily Miller, and “well done!” to JPFO and Chales Heller for the recognition Ms Miller deserves.
The perfectionist in me wants the DC permit process to be as easy as a drivers license, and it isn’t there yet.
