So, what's the plan for next sessions bills? I'm going to be working on my own SB27 and SB28 re-iterations. I figure if I'm taking the time to go down there for meetings and testify before House Motor Vehicles and Senate Public Safety and Homeland Security, then I can do so for amendments to 16-11-127 and 127.1.
What I'd like to personally see fixed are:
1. remove Marta as a locale where one cannot carry concealed. Either Require them to allow you to store the firearm with the Operator OR allow one to carry. The latter is preferable, fewer people handling strange firearms.
2. Expand places to carry by dialing down "Public Gathering" to just Government buildings and perhaps hard core bars. This was tried a few years ago, and seemingly the NRA didn't support the bill so it died. I had a strong conversation with my Rep about it, Mary Margaret Oliver.
I think I can swing my State Senator over on it, but I'll need some good arguments. He apparently Carries himself, so he's not afraid. If we can point out that CCW is really severely limited then we might be able to get him on board. He's reasonable enough from my several meetings with him.
