Open carry?

[Mirge]

SB129 has reportedly failed in the House Public Safety Committee. Trying to get more information.

epic SIGH...

 

[jcizzle]

well... at least it looks like the lawmakers will be allowed to carry. Let's be realistic, they don't care if you and I get to protect ourselves, so long as they do.

Gee, thanks Sue.

CRAP! Did Sue Tibbs hold this one up and did anyone even bother to pressure her on the issue?

It at least got a vote. Failed 8-9. No one seemed to be taking notes during the vote, so I'll have to wait until the vote is published to get a list of names.

 

[jcizzle]

I'd like to compare the names of those voting for lawmakers to carry and against general open carry

 

[vvvvvvv]

Gee, thanks Sue.

Got the names.

TIBBS voted yes........... and it still failed? What the f-.....

 

[Old Fart]

Don't recognize any of these folks:
Cannaday, Hoskin, Ownbey, Cox, Joyner, Renegar, Hardin, McAffrey & Roan.

But my guy Cockroft voted to approve.

Somebody needs to be on the phone to thier reps.

Something we'll likely never know. Sometimes the votes are known before the actual vote takes place. That gives legislators a pass without them actually having the conviction to pass the item.
