THANK YOU! Without people like you, OCT and MDA would be able to completely control the message.

there may be some of these stops, but it will be limited to a few cases early on. The LEO orgs now know this could be a problem for them and if they don't want to be totally handcuffed with an even more exuberant change to the law than the Dutton/Huffines amendment, they will keep this to a minimum....

Catching up and I think I've read everything. My hope is they've already done a head count and decided that it's better to let the clock run out with a 2 point lead than throw into coverage for a big score. The risks are too great of creating another Dem superstar that will funnel money into the sta...

So on Jan 1, every current 30.06 sign becomes non-compliant because they're not using the new language?

AAAAWWWW. And AMC just spent all that money to make its signs compliant.

I suspect CC is the price we had to pay to get OC through without a fight. Sad that we aren't left with enough time or political capital to realistically do anything about CC, but at least we got the OC elephant out of the room. Hopefully this clears the decks next session so the grownups can get b...

someone's couch must be comfy. Or their SO doesn't read the forum.

After all, the diligent LEO probably realizes that a criminal (or someone with criminal intent) would probably not expose the gun, for obvious reasons. That's the historical precedent. An exposed weapon has always been a symbol of power/citizenship. Concealed weapons were always something for peopl...

I get the thrust. I just like to make the distinction that you can elect to throw the sausage out, like T.R., but you can't get away from those that proclaim, "...There ought'a be a law," or the laws they pass.

Oh course, you can decided whether or not to eat the sausage. Laws are force-fed.

Here's an honest quote from an article in the Dallas Morning News from Tom Keefe, President, University of Dallas: Saying student safety is a top priority, the leader of the private, Catholic university said “having guns indiscriminately spread on campus is going to make that job immeasurably harde...

Thirty-four years in Field Artillery gives me a firm understanding of the concept of "close enough". 910 without Dutton/Huffines is close enough. At this point, all else is a bridge too far.

You win quote of the night.

If you support the passage of OC then the amendment becomes a problem for YOU because as we have learned it will not pass with the amendment. I think that we forget that it took many sessions to get where we are with CHL and it may take many sessions to get where we want to be. But one thing has he...

I just got back in the house from supper ... sort of lost where we are because I know dutton/huffines dropped in cmttee, but lost as to where we are this minute as far as when house/Senate vote on cmttee report ... today? they are voting today on some Cmttee reports or tomorrow?

Yes, I suppose as a Monday morning quarterback, it is easy to now look back. But Huffman was Chair, and in a position of leadership. As Sen Ellis is famous for saying, [paraphrase] "I may not know much, but I know how to count [the votes]". I would expect as much from someone in a positio...
