I joined the DSSA once at the urging of a friend, and was asked if I wanted to attend a meeting. I said yes and went there. The 1st thing that gave me pause was there were only board members there and everybody looked at me as though they wondered why I came. I explained and they said take a seat, and went on with their meeting. I never heard anything from them after that except when I received a member card. I continued to to go to the yearly meetings at the police union building on Kitts Hummock road for a couple of years and the next time me renewal came up I passed. I had been a member of the NRA for years and a DECCW permit holder for years also. I guess I got the impression that the DSSA was a "private club" and members were to give them money, but not welcome to attend or participate.
I may have taken this wrong, but that was my impression of the DSSA. Hope others haven't had a similar experience.
