Dan Cooper, co-founder of Cooper firearms in Stevensville has been forced to resign from the company because of his support for presidential candidate Barrack Obama.
With Montana teetering into the Democrats column, I wonder how many other “gun interests” in this state share Cooper’s sentiments? I smell “backlash”. I wonder if Cooper Firearms could actually lose business for “outing” Dan Cooper?
I plan on hunting this fall and for a long time to come and I’ll be voting with Dan Cooper. The Gun Control issue has been bouncing around for years and we still have our guns. Am I afraid that the Democrats will take my guns away, no. Does “when they pry my cold dead fingers” off them sound familiar?
What we really should be scared of is having weapons in the hands of people like Dick Cheney, who obviously needs to go back and take hunters education with all the rest of the twelve year olds. Fortunately, kids care about gun control, Dick Cheney does not.

You missed the entire point. The harm was done to the 38 employees at Cooper. Old Dan has enough to last a lifetime. You are at your best writing about fishing.
I think I understand the point, Cooper employees could lose their jobs because their customers threatened to boycott if Dan Cooper was allowed to stay on board because of his support for Obama.
I am guessing there are a lot of people out there that will support Obama but also believe in the “right to keep and bear arms”, like Dan Cooper obviously does.
If more people like Cooper stood up they wouldn’t have the NRA looking over their shoulders dictating their business and threatening their jobs.
