Chris Carney was able to get some good media attention out of his recent campaign stop at the Factoryville Sportsmen's Club. Carney swung by the club for three rounds of skeet on his way to a speech celebrating Chris Mathewson.
The Times Leader and Daily Review both managed to make news out of the stop. [Defer to the TL article for a description of skeet, birds, and a nice, uplifting from Republican supporter Tom O'Neil regarding Chris Hackett--“I would just like to have a ceremony where he’s crucified"]
Of course, as the Daily Review points out, it's unlikely that gun control will be a major issue for either campaign this fall. Both Carney and Hackett have relatively similar positions on the issue which will likely render it a moot political point.
However, that won't prevent Carney from including some of his freshly snapped "Sportsman for Carney" photos on campaign mailers this fall.
Unfortunately for the sportsmen on hand, John Kerry was not in attendance.
