Charles also makes it clear that he does not speak for the NRA except when he is authorized to. I do not know about the by-laws and authority the Texas Gun Sense Board Member is bound by but he may have provided a similar disclaimer as Charles does (I have even joked with Charles about his disclaimer prior to recording him as a guest on my podcast).Flightmare wrote:Charles is on the NRA board. There are many times he speaks where he is not representing them. He may not be authorized to speak on their behalf in those cases. But he can speak on his own behalf and any organization he is in control of.TVGuy wrote:He isn't just a member, but on the board of a group that has a direct interest in the bill/matter about which he was testifying.Papa_Tiger wrote:He wasn't testifying as a member of Texas Gun Sense. Just as a private citizen and the owner of Safety Matters. He might not have permission from the other organizations he is a member of to testify, or he just might not want to.
Just because I'm a member of a church doesn't mean that I represent them if I give legal testimony.
