Hi,
I was talking to my son, an officer in the US Army, about my interest in attending an Appleseed, and he thought it might mean to Obama that I was training to be "a sniper". He was concerned that it might endanger his top secret clearance in the US Army.
I would be sympathetic to this, but I have also read that there is no list of attendees, nor is there a list of Riflemen either. There is no payment to be a "member" of the Appleseed movement. There is only a list of those who are registered members of the Civilian Marksmanship club, whereby they can buy a Garand rifle. If I didn't pursue that, there is no reason for the gummint to ever know I have been trained on a rifle.
If I am wrong on any of this, please correct me.
