Zia BOD Minutes, November 20, 2014
The Zia November 20, 2014 BOD Meeting began at 0700 p.m. with President Tate Moots presiding. A quorum was obtained
with 20 of 24 Board members present.
Item I-Approval of Minutes and Agenda- The minutes of October 16, 2014 were approved with no changes.
The agenda was approved with additions by Secretary Dotson, Chairman Dristoll, and Member At Large Watkins. All were
entered into new business.
Item II-Treasurer's Report - Treasurer Cleary presented the Treasurer's report covering Shotgun Activity target fees
income ($4368), the income neutrality of the Ladies First Steps Program under Ms. Heidi Chowning (Member at Large) and
Membership renewal and new member income. The Treasurer's calculation of membership via deposits is a total to date of
1619 regular, senior and associate members. Junior members are 11 and there are 4 Honorary Members on the roles. Mr.
Cleary proposed updating the signature cards of the closure fund by deleting three out of date signatures and adding the
Secretary to the signing authority with the Bank of America account and all Wells Fargo accounts. This proposal was approved
to delete Tom Tomasi, Jo Ann Gibson and David Orchard and to add Patrick S. Dotson to the above accounts. The remainder of
the Treasurer's report was accepted without comment.
Item lll-Old Business-Web Site- Construction and development of the new web site continues, with the new site on
line and in use. The inclusion of the Newsletter will be included on the web site within the next few days, and several updates
have been made to the Activity sections, notably Rimfire Benchrest Silhouette, and ARA Benchrest. More pictures and
descriptions are needed from several other activities. BOD Nominations- The BOD nominations for Membership Year
2015-16 will be included in each forthcoming newsletter through the month of January 2015. By-Law Changes- A copy of
the completed changes to the By-Laws was passed to the BOD. These changes will be included in the December and January
Newsletters. The By Law changes will be presented to the membership at the annual meeting for acceptance.
Item IV-New Business- Request for Funds- Ms. Toma Shaver presented a request for $300ea. for travel expenses to
Emily Fitzgerald and Devlon Shaver. The request was approved. Annual Meeting- It was reported by the Secretary that the
Annual Meeting facility has changed hands and will not be available for the next annual meeting, scheduled for January 08,
2015. An alternate location of the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown was approved by the BOD, with a cost of ~$610.96
expected plus other expenses as may occur. Shotgun-Chairman Evans noted the new storage facility had been installed and
requested funds to replace targets expended. The BOD decided that target purchases could be considered operational expenses
and Chairman Evans could have the authority to maintain up to one year's supply of targets for shotgun use. Also in this
motion, $300 was approved for purchase cost overage of the 48 foot storage trailer and $280 for a pallet jack for the facility.
Precision Rifle- Chairman Dristoll requested funds to purchase an In Motion Portable Moving Target System for installation
on the East Range Known Distance Range near the 600 meter location. This item was approved providing proper coordination
with 3-gun tactical activity, centerfire prone activity and other agencies as required is accomplished. The approved amount to
date for this action is $10,000. Precision Rifle Activity is to be the action agency on development, installation, and
maintenance of this project. No resolution was made on electrical requirements, future target requirements or future use of the
equipment, which will remain the discretion of the BOD. There was one Nay to the request for lack of information, otherwise
the motion passed. Lobbyist authorization- C.Q. Watkins (Member at Large) requested and was approved as Zia lobbyist for
Firearms related issues and legislation with the State of New Mexico. The Secretary will maintain currency in this area.
Item V-Adjournment- There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 0745 p.m. The next meeting will
be December 18, 2014 at American Legion Post 49, 0700 p.m.

Do It Now, Avoid the Rush!
HERE WE GO AGAIN: NEW MEXICO LAWMAKER PRE-FILES HB 44, RESTRICTING PRIVATE FIREARM
TRANSFERS
Although the New Mexico Legislature will not convene its 2015 Regular Session until January 21st, one lawmaker has already prefiled a familiar, ill-conceived gun control measure.
On Friday, anti-gun State Rep. Miguel Garcia (D-Albuquerque) has re-introduced House Bill 44, legislation criminalizing non-dealer
firearm transfers at gun shows and taking the first step toward a universal ban on private gun sales. Although similar measures have
died in previous legislative sessions, now is not the time to let our guard down!
Here is a link to the bill: http://www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/legislation.aspx?Chamber=H&LegType=B&LegNo=44&year=15
There have been a significant number of changes in the New Mexico House due to legislative retirements and results from the
November 2014 General Election. State lawmakers are moving offices and their contact information will likely change, incoming
members have yet to be sworn in and committee assignments may not be available for several weeks. NRA-ILA will provide you that
information as it becomes available, as well as an update on which committees HB 44 is referred to and whether additional anti-gun
proposals are introduced.
In the meantime, please spread the word about HB 44 and the talking points below to fellow gun enthusiasts, self-defense proponents,
shooting clubs and sporting organizations. Urge them to sign up for FREE legislative updates from NRA-ILA during the session by
clicking on the link below. This is the easiest way to stay informed on bills affecting our Second Amendment rights in the
Roundhouse.

Why You Should Oppose HB 44
!
This is just the first step toward criminalizing ALL private transfers of firearms; in fact, as mentioned above, the introducedversion of HB 77 in the 2013 session did just that. No background check legislation will ever be “universal” since criminals
simply ignore the law.
!
It’s an ineffective crime control proposal. In April of 2013, PoliceOne conducted a national survey of 15,000 active and retired
law enforcement officers of all ranks and department sizes on the topics of gun & crime control. Nearly 80 percent said that a
prohibition on private non-dealer transfers of firearms between individuals would not reduce violent crime.
!
Current laws are not being enforced. According to a 2012 report to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 72,000 people were
turned down on a gun purchase in 2010 because they didn’t clear a background check. Only 44 of those cases – or just .06
percent – were prosecuted. A 2013 study by Syracuse University showed that gun prosecutions had hit a decade low, down 40
percent from 2004. Existing laws are not even being enforced and proponents are calling for expanding background checks to
cover private firearms transactions.
!
Gun shows aren’t a source of crime guns. A U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics survey of state prison inmates who had used or
possessed firearms in the course of committing their crimes found that 79 percent acquired their firearms from “street/illegal
sources” or “friends and family.” This includes theft of firearms, black market purchases of stolen firearms and straw
purchases. Only 1.7 percent obtained a firearm at a gun show.
!
Most importantly, because a January 2013 internal U.S. Department of Justice memorandum summarizing so-called “gun
violence” prevention strategies stated that the effectiveness of “universal background checks” depends on “requiring gun
registration.” Even though HB 44 currently contains prohibitions on the development of a state or local registry of gun
buyers, supporters of the bill are likely to eventually claim the need to repeal these important protections in order to enforce
its provisions.
It is time to renew your Zia Membership. A couple of points to remember:
This year, you don’t have to fill out a separate application for an associate. Everything is on one
application. Please make sure you and your associate sign the application.

do it!
Installation of the new storage container for the shotgun range happened on
November 19th. The container will be used to store clay targets. The ability to
store large volumes of targets allows Zia to keep the activity shoot prices
quite low. Thanks goes to Frank Shoemaker and John Winder who were a big
help in getting this accomplished.

Wild Bird Flush
With fall in the air and winter knocking on the door, bird hunters might be envisioning fields of wild birds flushing. Days of wild birds
flushing are truly cherished since they are not always easy to come by. Yet don’t despair bird hunters, Zia has now added a shotgun game
called “Wild Bird Flush”. Wild Bird Flush is an instinctive shotgun shooting game in which a team of up to 5 shooters are challenged by
having multiple clay birds thrown at one time; with as many as 7 clays thrown at once. As a round of 125 birds progresses, the number of
multiple clay birds thrown at once increases. For a bird hunter they may start to day dream of being in the field with wild birds flushing in all
directions; incomer, out goers, a crosser and one landing. Bird hunters & shot gunners, the next Wild Bird Flush will be on January 3, 2015.
Watch for the announcement in Zia’s activity calendar and come on out to enjoy Zia’s latest shotgun activity. Contact Lindsey Evans,
Shotgun Activity Chairman (299-6888) for additional info.

This was our first practice match since the end if the official ARA season. The weather was great and it gave us a chance
to try different setups and in some cases different guns. We had a new shooter joins for this match, Rick MacHale. It is
always a pleasure to have new shooters give ARA try. We hope he returns for the next match.

By-Law Changes Proposal
Jan 2015 Annual Meeting
The following changes, in italic, are presented to the membership for change in order to eliminate confusion as to
qualified members for conducting business of the Club; correct the By-Laws to be consistent in all areas with regard to
quorum requirements for changes to the By-Laws. Changes also add requirements for membership which have been
BOD policy for some time. Several minor typos, additions and corrections are presented for administrative action.
Page 2, Line 29, Unstated requirement-(“applies to Regular and Senior Members only”)-Clarification.
Page 2, Line36- Added-(“Associate Member instructions are found on the same application”) Added information.
th”
Page 2, Line 43, “May 1st to - “April 30 - Correction to previous administrative error.
Page 2, Line 44, Previously unstated- (“applies to Regular and Senior Members only”) Clarification.
Page 3, Lines 2-3, Previously unstated “All applicants must attend a New Member Orientation (NMO) in order to
complete eligibility requirements” Adds BOD policy which has been in place for some time to the By-Laws.
Page 8, Lines 25, 26, Delete “By Law changes will be submitted to the entire membership by written ballot in the next
newsletter”. Redundant- already currently required in Article XI.
Page 8, Lines 27, 28, Delete-“Ten percent of the voting membership (Regular and Senior) must vote on the changes for
them to go into effect” Deleted to be consistent with Article XI as is currently in force to avoid conflicting requirements.
Page 9, Lines 22-26, Added after “A quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting”- “is the total of
eligible voting members in attendance. Eligible voters shall be as described in Article IV, Section 5(a) (2) of this
Document. A successful vote requires 66 percent of qualified voters in attendance, proxies are not allowed. At least 50
percent of the current BOD must be in attendance for changes to By-Laws to be considered.” Changes requirements to
agree with Article Xl and adds requirement for BOD member attendance in order for By-Laws to be considered at a
Special Meeting.
Page 13, Line 14, Change “AMENDMENTS” to “Changes to By-Laws”- Changes title to more closely describe
content/intent of Article Xl.
Page 13, Line 17, Change “Section 5). (A))” to “Section 7” Corrects previous administrative error.
Page 13, Lines 21, 22, Change after “such vote is taken.” to “In addition, 50 percent of the current BOD members must be
present for any changes to be considered.”- Adds credibility to Article Xl that a significant number of BOD members are
to be present and eligible to speak and vote for/against By-Law changes. Remainder of article unchanged.
Entire Document- Several typos, errors, additions as deemed appropriate by Club Secretary.
