Flint Artifacts: Patch and Ball Gun Club Button

Absolutely no idea what the Patch & Ball Gun Club is or was. Anyone who knows please chime in, although I'm a little afraid of the answer.

It's Sarah Palin's NRA-endorsed chapter of Planned Parenthood. You put a patch over your eye and hope that your kid does't get knocked up and if she does...you just grab the gun for a good ole fashion Alaskan shotgun wedding.

Really? I thought it was brain-dead myself.

Don't know about this club specifically, but I'm going to guess it's for fans of black powder firearms like flintlocks and muzzle-loaders.

yeah, muzzleloaders. I believe they evolved into the Wolverines, not to be confused w/the militia up around here. They're also enjoying Single Action Shooting style sport. A fair sized group, w/members in Saginaw and Bay city also. they put on re-enactments every summer. we call them dog and pony shows. cleaner GY?

And palin wouldn't marry them, she'd hire an airplane or chopper, and shoot 'em down just like wolves and bears in her state. yeah, and the only complaint w/big oil for her, is that they aren't DRILLING enough. 'choirboy' and milfina, she-wolf of the rnc" there's a pair to draw on...

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
