Sportsmen and gun owners can sleep a little better knowing that they have someone like Carney

"It’s always nice to think that you have someone in a position of influence who shares your values. Sportsmen and gun owners can sleep a little better knowing that they have someone like that in the person of Congressman Chris Carney. Don’t be misled by those who would try to associate him with the far left of the Democratic Party. Instead, look at the Congressman’s voting record and the legislation he has sponsored."

"He helped pass legislation that improved the criminal background check system. This particular piece of legislation was endorsed by the National Rifle Association. He also co-sponsored a bill that would provide for the creation of interstate concealed carry permits. Additionally, he co-sponsored a bill that would restore Second Amendment Rights to law-abiding citizens of Washington D.C."

"Congressmen Carney’s ability to objectively look at issues and reach across party lines enables him to effectively defend our rights and promote our values. The sportsmen and gun owners of the 10th Congressional District need to keep Chris Carney in Congress. Please join me in supporting him in November’s election."

Dick Kern,
Springville Township

Favorable voting record

"I have reviewed Congressman Carney's voting record, and find it favorable. I will be supporting him in the fall election because of his stand on Second Amendment rights, and his continued support of our troops overseas. As a constituent who has a son and a daughter committed to the war it is important to me that he continue to support our military. "

"As a sportsman and gun owner it is also important to me that he continue to fight for reciprocity so that I may carry firearms across state lines without having to research every state I plan to travel through."

"Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion."

Robert M. Wirts,
Browndale Sportsmen’s Club

"As a long time Republican, sportsman, and gun dealer, I will continue to support Chris now and in the future. What gets me is his strong voting record and beliefs, especially with concern to our 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights."

"All of us, whether Republican or Democrat, must learn to vote for the person, and not the party."

Carney has experience, honor and integrity

"I am a 21-year-old sportsman, a Republican, and also a member of the NRA. I give Chris Carney my full support. Congressman Carney is, himself, an active sportsman. He believes in protecting the 2nd amendment rights to bear arms. This is not the only reason I give the congressman my vote. I had the great honor of having him as a teacher at Penn State Worthington campus, where he was a teacher of political science. There I had the opportunity to actually meet Chris and find out a great deal about him."

"As a faithful husband, loving father of five, and serving his country in the armed forces goes to show he does have the EXPERIENCE, HONOR, and INTEGRITY to bring the 10th Congressional District, and, the nation a change for the better."

Carney fights to advance the cause of responsible gun ownership

"As a member of Safari Club International and Ducks Unlimited, I am proud to support Chris Carney for re-election because he has been fighting in Congress to protect the rights of sportsmen and hunters."

"Chris Carney shares the values of people in northeast and central Pennsylvania. That is why he fights to advance the cause of responsible gun ownership and to work in Congress to protect the rights of Americans. Carney has shown time and again that he is on our side, and he is defending our rights as sportsmen and hunters."

"Carney has a strong record on defending our right to bear arms. He is a member of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, he is a cosponsor of the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2007, and has introduced legislation to recognize hunters across the United States for their continued commitment to safety. This resolution passed the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously in September 2007."

"Carney has shown he is willing to fight to do what is right. The Supreme Court's June 26, 2008 decision in District of Columbia vs. Heller struck down the District's ban on handgun possession. Carney supported this decision and signed, along with 249 other Members of the House of Representatives and 55 Senators, onto an amicus curiae brief in support. This Supreme Court ruling is a victory for responsible gun owners everywhere. Carney has repeatedly said that the Second Amendment applies equally to us all. The right to bear arms is paramount, and no local, state or federal government should be able to compromise that right."

"I have hunted with Chris in central Pennsylvania and have worked with him in Washington, DC. He Chris Carney for re-election because I know as an avid sportsmen, a hunter and a fly-fisher, Chris Carney will always vote to support our sportsmen and protect our Constitutional right to bear arms."

avid sportsman, a hunter and a fly fisherman.
