[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1501731, member: 42"] Still missing the "rights" thing. Privilege maybe, but not rights. A privilege that comes at the expense of a particular job. Our 2nd Amendment rights are already infringed so railing about an obscure bill, that opens up LEO-style carry to a very small group of U.S. Attorneys does zip for the cause. Furthermore, doing it in an uneducated and civically ignorant way just makes us look like idiots and actually hurts the cause. Outraged Ignorant Gun Owner: "OMG, Politicians can carry everywhere now! I'm outraged!" Everyone Else: "Uh, no they can't. Who is this guy?" The bill is out of committee, in one body, sent to another committee, still has to be reconcilled and/or voted on by the other body, and then signed by the Govenor. And, as I read the text of H.B. 1255, it doesn't apply to politicians, it applies to federal prosecutors. Sorry for the interruption: Back to your regularly scheduled indignation hour...... [/QUOTE]
