Unfortunately this is not the first time IDPA HQ has done the stupid. I am going to say 20 years ago or less, Venezuela tried to host an international IDPA match and a lot of clubs in South Florida raised hell and then some pointing out the draconian Gun Control Laws that the country has and how they went against all IDPA initially stood for. I made the remark that if I were to travel and even touch a gun in Venezuela, i would be arrested immediately as I would be still considered a national and did not have the proper permits to carry a firearm plus probably be indicted also for smuggling firearms and ammunition even though the Chavista government swore over a stack of Das Kapitals that we all would be given special treatment, free food and lodging and free escorted passage in-country.
The match never happened.
What a stupid time to be alive, just another in an endless series of examples.
Speechless
