Davidson County GOP Chairman Lonnie Spivak Details Upcoming Event at the GlockStore

Feb 17, 2024

The Davidson County Republican Party is set to host a Shooting Stars event at the GlockStore next month.

Lonnie Spivak, chairman of the Davidson County GOP, said the event is “going to be a lot of fun.”

“This is our second year doing this event,” Spivak said during Friday’s edition of The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy. “It’s a great event. It’s going to be a lot of fun. We’ll have several candidates there so you’ll be able to learn about some of your candidates who are running for office.”

The event will take place on March 16 at the GlockStore, located at 1930 Air Lane Drive in Nashville.

There are three different ticket options for purchase – Networker, Shooter, and VIP.

Networker tickets, which include basic admission to the event, are $50.

Shooter tickets, which include the option of shooting in two out of three SHOOT270 Indoor Shooting Rooms at the GlockStore, are $100.

VIP tickets, which are $250, include shooting in two SHOOT270 Indoor Shooting Rooms, firing a fully automatic submachine gun, and an entry in the drawing for an engraved G43X pistol.

Spivak (pictured above) said he expects state house and senate candidates to be in attendance as well as candidates campaigning for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District amid the retirement news of incumbent U.S. Representative Mark Green (R-TN-07).

Following next month’s event at the GlockStore, Spivak said the Davidson County Republican Party will hold its annual picnic at Nashville’s Dragon Park in June. The party will also have an event around August; however, the details are forthcoming.

Spivak said these events help voters “invest” in the Davidson County Republican Party so that the party can better help Republican candidates win close races.

“The message that I’m telling people is that, look, the Davidson County Republican Party needs this investment. We need the investment in the party so we can do the other things, to help win those close races. Without that, without the money, we can’t do the voter drives…You can only do so much with volunteers, you can only get so many people out at one given time to do anything, so you need money to do the advertising, to do the promotion. You need people to help organize the events and you need volunteers and staff. You need poll watchers and workers and all of that,” Spivak explained.

Roger Simon on Pro-Hamas, Anti-Israel Protests on College Campuses: ‘What Happened in Germany in 1937’ Is ‘What We’re Undergoing Now’

Roger Simon, the co-founder of PJMedia and current columnist for The Epoch Times, said the pro-Hamas protests unfolding on Ivy League college campuses across the nation are comparable to the scene in Germany in 1937.

Simon made the comments on Tuesday’s episode of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show after listening to audio of a clip taken from Columbia University where pro-Palestine protesters formed a human chain to keep Jewish students out of an encampment on the university’s campus.

NewsChannel 5’s Phil Williams Refuses to Explain His Failure to Get Justin Jones on the Record about Allegations He Covered Up Report of 2020 Sexual Assault, Tries to Distract with False Claims About Tennessee Star Reporter

Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, addressed personal attacks from NewsChannel 5’s chief investigative reporter Phil Williams over the weekend, saying such attacks are “absolute silliness” and a common tactic used by Williams when pressed on his “journalistic failings.”

On Sunday, Pappert reported on an interview between Williams and Dan Mandis, host of Nashville’s Morning News with Dan Mandis on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, where Williams said that he once asked Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville) to respond to claims made by his former close colleague Jeneisha Harris on June 18, 2020 that the state lawmaker had covered up the sexual assault of two protesters by a homeless man.
