I became a naval and history buff and collector in my pre-teen years and some of the very first material I collected was propaganda booklets from the Russian destroyers that visited Boston MA in 1974?
Now I have a ½ a dozen kids of my own that would love to visit your Essex class air craft carrier, which in my humble opinion is probably the next best thing to CV-6 Enterprise, which was scrapped. We even have relatives that served a long time on Enterprise CVN-65.
I have been to NYC a few times. But, because of New York's anti-gun laws and because I can not carry concealed with a permit while visiting your city and state, I will avoid visiting NYC again. I will not willingly support any business there, which includes your museum, until my 2nd amendment rights are not infringed upon by your state.
For the record, I became a gun owner in 2008, after reading about the mayor of NYC, in the NRA magazine, and how he was trying to sue a local Georgia gun store. So, I bought my first three guns from that gun store, adventureoutdoors.us, out of sheer spite.
So, please take me off your mailing list and donation list as I will be going out of my way NOT to spend any more money that supports states such as New York and New Jersey. I will not even drive through them if given a choice.
I have decided to donate some of my Russian collection to Adventure Outdoors new expanded store, maybe to be displayed next to their Russian Mosin 91/30 rifles.
Yours,
John Brown
