I would suggest this is a good bill and that GFODL should support it.

Comments?

Somebody was listening to the "to" language objection in the public gathering law . . .

Isn't this the one Seajay and others were asked about several times?

Other than the incrementalist approach, I see nothing to which we should object, and believe this should have support.

Now, if we could only get them to amend it to insert "holder of a license issued pursuant to 16-11-129," all the other stuff we are trying to amend would not matter!

If it works for off duty military, it should be ok for us . . .

Excellent bill.

I wish, all that would do is eliminate section 1 of our bill.

And section 4.

Well this is a tiny step in the right direction.

Maybe we could try to get it amended to read

(f) persons licensed to carry firearms.
