[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1112214, member: 3099"] Well boys and girls, I talked to a couple of ORA board members today. This bill has passed both houses and now sits on the governor's desk! Now for the bad news, at least as I understand it. The NRA and the ORA have basically taken a neutral position on this. As I heard it there was three different ways they could have done this bill, and naturally they picked the $sh!tiest way. What I [B][I]THINK[/I][/B] I heard was that the bill that has passed will amend the current SDA. So only holders of SDA permits will be allowed to open carry. The two guys I talked to are personally against this thing passing and they have at least one pretty compelling reason and probably more. One of their fears is that the amount of places and businesses that are posted and have no weapons policies will drastically increase. Another is that this might actually make us lose the SDA law altogether because the number of arrests for carrying in a posted place will go through the roof. (I'm thinking that there may now be legislated penalties for carrying in a private place of business that's posted, though I can't confirm that now as I've not read this 77 page bill). These guys have YEARS of experience under the gas filled dome and working with our legislature on getting pro gun bills passed. I personally have to yield to their experience and give them the "benefit of doubt" and join them in opposition to this until we can get a better bill passed. They DO know how things work down there. Regardless they told me to call, email, etc. and express my position whatever it is either for or against tomorrow. I would urge everyone to do the same. [/QUOTE]
