First Time To Auction

Palladium Press, 1997. A 353-page blue textured cardstock and gold gilt eagle embossed pocket primer, "Citizen's Guidebook to the History, Sources and Authorities for the Constitutional Guarantee of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms." Heston was renowned and highly visible NRA president, spokes-person, and proponent of the right to bear arms. The phrase "from my cold dead hands" gained newfound notoriety and popularity following the 2000 NRA convention, in Charlotte, North Carolina when Heston ended a speech by picking up a flintlock long rifle and declaring, "So, as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Gore: 'From my cold, dead hands!'" Exhibiting minor handling. In good to very good condition.
