[HuntingNY-News]

Any proceeds in excess of bus costs will be donated towards the SCOPE/NYSRPA lawsuit funds, Simmons said.

Officials from the Onondaga and Oswego Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs are chartering two buses for the April 1 rally against the SAFE Act in Albany.

The rally is being organized by SCOPE (Shooters Committee on Political Education). The locals buses are in addition to others being chartered by the Pathfinder Fish and Game Club in Fulton.

David Simmons, president of the Onondaga Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, said the first bus will leave at 5:45 a.m. April 1 from the parking lot at the Tractor Supply Company store on Route 13 in Pulaski and drive to the Gander Mountain store in Cicero, joining another bus. Both buses will then leave from 6:30 a.m. en route to Albany. Simmons said they will return sometime after 5 p.m.

Simmons said the cost will be $25 per seat. "We hope we will get additional donations from clubs and individuals to avoid losing money."

Checks should be made payable to the "Onondaga County Federation Of Sportsmens Clubs" (OCFSC is also acceptable). Also, write "Albany Bus" on the check's memo line, Simmons said.

"I will also need to know whether the individuals will be boarding at Pulaski or at Cicero,' he said. "I also need phone numbers and email address for every individual, in the event there are last-minute changes and/or we are short on the head count when preparing for departure from Albany."

Any proceeds in excess of bus costs will be donated towards the SCOPE/NYSRPA lawsuit funds, Simmons said.
