Dooman, get involved in local elections. We(gun owners, and my club in particular) did so in Putnam County, we were instrumental in electing a County judge who promised to "follow the letter of the law". He delivered on his promise, and in fact, the other issueing judge declined to handle pistol licenses anymore and handed all duties off to the gun-friendly judge.
Having said that, we still need to be vigilant. This judge may "climb the ladder" in the future and go for Supreme Court judgeship, then we'll need to make sure we maintain what we fought for.
It all starts locally.
