Pennsylvania Town Clings to Its Guns, Ousts Mayor By Salena Zito - November 17, 2013 Read more: realclearpolitics.com CHAMBERSBURG - Know your constituency. It's the first rule of local politics. The second: What happens in New York City usually can only happen in New York City, and is best kept there. Policies that fit “The Big Apple” don't fit a town that is, say, known statewide for its Apple Festival.

They don't get why anyone would sit for hours in the woods or in a bog to hunt deer, bear, elk, turkey or duck; they don't know how, for hunters, this is a time to spend outdoors with friends and family, continuing a tradition passed down by parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Almost all hunters go out because providing meat for their families is rewarding and satisfying. Cont...
