I am getting my Associates in Applied Science from there in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montgomery.edu\/programs\/hunting-and-shooting-sports-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hunting and Shooting Sports Management<\/a><\/strong>. Graduation is next month and I needed to pick up my cap and gown. In addition, I wanted to meet a couple of the instructors in that program and in their well-regarded gunsmithing program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montgomery.edu\/programs\/gunsmithing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gunsmithing program<\/a><\/strong>, Mark Dye, was delayed because he and the college president were giving a tour of their workshops and other facilities to a visiting &#8220;dignitary&#8221;. I happened to see the dignitary and thought he looked familiar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/budd.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/budd.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/budd-300x233.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>From the Richmond County Daily Journal<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He should! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tedbudd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC)<\/a><\/strong> who is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/politics-government\/election\/article260146380.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">front runner in the GOP primary<\/a><\/strong> for the US Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budd, who owns a gun shop and range, has the recommendation of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2022\/04\/18\/grnc-pvf-releases-nc-primary-recommendations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GRNC-PVF<\/a><\/strong> as well as the endorsement of Donald Trump and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC). I thought it was appropriate that the one area of the college that he wanted to visit was the gunsmithing workshops and classrooms. He may have visited other areas but this is where he was spending a good deal of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to be at Montgomery Community College in Troy, North Carolina this afternoon.
