The most important self-defense bill in 10 years." It will also have the URL for the Texas Firearms Coalition.

I'm going to have information cards printed through VistaPrint with the talking points. I was going to go with business card size, but now I'm going to go with a medium post card size to allow for more information without having to use tiny font.

All this said, 144 people have read this thread and only 12 have indicated an interest. I'm not going to buy a bunch of shirts and hats only to throw them away after the session is over. If interest picks up, I'll pursue it.

Thanks,
Chas.
I'm more interested in a hand-out or mailer.

Mr Cotton, would you be willing to post up the information card anyway? Even if not in conjunction with hats and shirts... it might prove useful at no cost other then your time to write it up and post.
I for one would like to have and be able to refer to set of vetted and common pro HB560 talking points. :tiphat:
I am going to order the postcard size information cards. The downside is that I'll have to mail them to anyone that wants cards. I'd like to get tables at gun shows to distribute them, but there no time in my schedule to do it.

Hopefully, LTC instructors are willing to mail them to your former students and give them to your current students.

Chas.

If it weren't for that pesky privacy stuff the DPS could provide you a list of LTC holders to mail a flyer to!

Since I wear Company Shirts, I would not be a good walking billboard most of the time but I would still buy a shirt and hat to contribute to the cause.

I'm in for a hat and shirt. I'd wear it mainly at matches this spring. Should generate interest.

One of my ranges is just down the street from TFC HQ (at the VFW).... may I stop in and pick one up?

Heck, if you work out of the office, can I stop by and take you to lunch?
Though Im mostly up there on weekends teaching class, I get up there weekdays as well to service bikes or teach a weekday class.

I'm in for a bumper sticker & hat.
Also, if you format a PDF file for letter sized printout that we could print ourselves, cut into half sized sheets as handouts, it would avoid all the printing, mailing, and labor costs on your end
