Talking to the Media

Would you look at that handsome devil?  How can this guy possibly be single? A few months back, I spoke with a reporter from the Financial Times of England .  The interview went well, but as always, I was a bit misquoted.  Though the errors were not significant, and they did not distort my intent, they can be illustrative. Ms. Fifield was a joy to speak with.  She has her reservations on widespread gun ownership, but she was open and honest about them, and much to my delight, she was a great listener.  She's also one of the few people I've met who can still take notes in shorthand .  We spoke at great length about the history, context, and implications of the 2nd Amendment. As you can see from the article, she had a great deal of ground to cover, and the fact that she took trouble to get all the technical terminology correct shows marvelous attention to detail.  It's only natural that a few things get transposed.
