To all who will listen and take the time to understand. There are people in this world who feel it's their responsibility to protect you from yourself, by viewing you only as part of a group, with out consideration of you as an individual. I've always understood, a person's rights end at the end of another’s nose. A thief lurks in the shadows awaiting the time to strike. A honest man faces another and speaks his mind. I have lived my life as my father taught me. To be up front in all I do and to learn my limitations as well as my strengths. I have not asked to be in this arena. In fact,I have been cast into it. I am just one person who has for the last 31 years in business tried to be the best individual person and business man I know how to be. I understand the months ahead will be long and stressful, but I promise, with Gods help, I will prevail.

Barr Reacts To Bloomberg Gun Lawsuit Ruling
Says Ruling “Not Unexpected”
Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 6:00 PM
Atlanta, GA – Former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, along with Jasper, GA lawyer Ed Marger who represent Smyrna, GA firearms retailer Adventure Outdoors, today issued the following statement in reaction to yesterday’s ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Jack Weinstein, in the lawsuit pending against Adventure Outdoors by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
“The ruling by the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, NY finding that the court in that city has jurisdiction over Adventure Outdoors, was not at all unexpected. In fact, Adventure Outdoors has contemplated all along that the court would decide to maintain jurisdiction over the lawsuit brought by New York City.
Adventure Outdoors intends to continue to aggressively defend itself against what it considers an outrageous effort by Mayor Bloomberg to dictate how a lawful business in Smyrna, GA should carry out the business of providing a constitutionally-guaranteed product to the citizens of Georgia. While Mayor Bloomberg obviously believes the citizens of New York City should be denied their constitutional right to keep and bear arms, he has no business telling the citizens of Georgia they should be denied those rights as well.
Adventure Outdoors has been in business in Smyrna, GA for 30 years, and takes its responsibility to not only comply with federal and state laws relating to the sale of firearms, the company has always worked proactively to assist local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) so that every possible effort is made to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and others not entitled under the law to possess firearms. In fact, in several of the examples cited by the court of instances in which firearms sold by Adventure Outdoors which later turned up in New York, were brought to the attention of BATF by Adventure Outdoors.
Adventure Outdoors also intends to aggressively pursue the lawsuit it filed against New York City in Cobb County Superior Court alleging violations of Georgia laws by Mayor Bloomberg and those acting in concert with him to conduct a so called ‘undercover sting operation’ in Georgia. The U.S. Department of Justice sent New York City a letter critical of the way in which New York has proceeded in this manner.”
Barr also noted that the Renzulli Law Firm in New York, which specializes in firearms law, is handling the case in New York City on behalf of Adventure Outdoors
