I don't understand what this has to do with Knob Creek? Is there no sales tax there?

Here is what the link says:

Sales tax is collected from the vendors at Knob Creek by the Range House Office.

This takes place the first weekend of October. The Knob Creek Shoot takes place the second weekend. Plenty of time for both.

Your right. The NRA letter states that it is in the second weekend and I didn't even catch it when I read the Bill ooops!

Here's the article that they link to http://dailymail.com/News/statehouse/201003150902 I really just thought the Bill itself was interesting and was a little humored by the date...
