PRESIDENTS CORNER October 19, 2026 IT'S TIME TO VOTE FOR OUR FREEDOMS!
The midterm elections are almost here and voting has begun. As we look to the upcoming elections, I want to personally encourage each of you to make your voice heard…Loud and Clear! Our state association and the pro Second Amendment values we represent are strong because of members like you and the shooting clubs that welcome law abiding folks to enjoy their 2A freedoms. We not only care about our Second Amendment Freedoms, but I am proud to stand with you as members who care deeply about our communities, our neighbors, and the future we share. Actively participating in our elections is one of the most meaningful ways we can put that commitment into action. If you haven’t already, I am confident that you will set aside time to learn about the candidates, review their records and stated positions, especially their stance on our pro 2A Freedoms. Please also become familiar with your ballot and make a plan to vote that ensures your vote is cast and counted. There are plenty of early voting opportunities. If you are committed to voting on election day, make a plan that gets you to your precinct on time. A little preparation now can make Election Day easier and more meaningful. If you are looking for another way to help, consider supporting pro 2A candidates or events in a manner that fits your interests and schedule. With just a few days left, any help, no matter how small, is needed and appreciated. You might help a friend or neighbor with ballot information or give them a ride to go vote. Every FSSA member is an important part of getting out the vote. Your vote matters! Every thoughtful contribution helps strengthen our right to keep and bear arms. Thank you for the support you show our state association. Thank you for all you do to ensure our 2A Freedoms remain strong and supported by the candidates we elect, both throughout our state, in the communities we call home, and all the way to Washington. I sincerely appreciate your commitment to being informed, engaged, and ready to get out and vote. Sincerely, Ted Carter | TOP STORIES NRA Range Development & Operations Conference If you’re planning a shooting range—or already running one—you know it’s not just about putting up targets.
