Joel Rosenberg is holding a Legal Defense Fund fundraising dinner tonight:
Location: Chanhassen AmericInn conference room. Donations can be made at the door, or by contributing to the Legal Defense Fund either by mail or in person at any Wells Fargo location, in or out of Minnesota.
It’ll feature photographer and Second Amendment activist – and yes, he combines the two – Oleg Volk:
Oleg Volk will be both speaking and giving a photo presentation*.
Joel will be attending but, on advice of counsel, won’t be discussing pending legal matters.
All profits, after the room and the food are paid for, will go to the Legal Defense Fund. (Oleg and all of the servers — Joel, Felicia, Judy, Rachel, and friends — are donating their time, of course.) Attending registrations are limited to 40 people — the Fire Marshall insists — so please sign up in advance, if you can.
Note: the Legal Defense Fund is not a registered charity, and contributions are not tax-deductible. Alas.
Volk’s an interesting guy, and I hope you can make it. I have family stuff tonight, but I’ll be donating via other means…
I met Volk once many years ago back when the Strib had their own posting forum. He was a staunch 2A rights commenter. Very smart guy. Grew up somewhere in E Europe partially under communist rule, so he has a jaundiced view of anything that would take away liberty and freedom.
Thanks for the mention, Mitch. It was successful — as well as making a small dent in legal fees and bail, it covered health insurance (I’m an insulin-dependent diabetic, among other things; my regular meds are hideously expensive) through the end of February.
As Felicia and I keep saying, whoever has the second best friends in the world is a very lucky man or woman, but they’re not even close.
Bill: He was, and he still is. As things happen, I was the guy who first took Oleg shooting, some years ago. We both told the story — him somewhat less accurately 🙂 — at the fundraiser. He’s very, very much a standup guy. I seem to know a lot of those.
